CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have read this before but always good to share . And, thanks to Cap’n Crunch for sharing this with me !

“A band of brothers, in the sense that we use the words in this book, is not a meeting, a club, a therapy group, or a self-help society. It is the group of men we do life with. It is the team of brothers committed with us to the cause of great manhood. It is the band of men with whom we build a manly culture of inspiration and achievement.” – Stephen Mansfield, “Building Your Band of Brothers”

MOLESKIN:
As we start new AOs , let’s band together like brothers and spread the love and be the leaders we were meant to be.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let’s keep leading ! The only way to get better is to practice. Sign up to Q not only at the Bombshelter but sign up to Q at another  AO and lead a group of men you don’t know . It will only help you be a better leader.
MOLESKIN:
I think I am a social introvert. I like being social but I will never be that guy that will out talk you! I like being alone but only for short periods. Signing up to Q and leading workouts is good for me. It’s not my comfort zone to be in front of a bunch of people talking but leading workouts has helped me overcome those fears. I encourage everyone to get out there to lead! It’s what we are meant to do as men and men of action lead
