COT:
Accelerate by Teaching

“The person who learns the most in any classroom is the teacher. If you truly want to master something, don’t just consume it—teach it. Write it down. Share it. Build it. Lead it.

F3 teaches us the same principle: When you step up and lead a workout, mentor someone new, or encourage another man, you’re not just helping them—you’re reinforcing your own growth and understanding.

So don’t just show up. Step up. Because the act of leading and sharing is what truly accelerates your journey.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
We all face roles and responsibilities that don’t come with clear instructions—maybe it’s parenting, leading at work, or simply being a good friend or partner. The Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught that the key isn’t memorizing rules for every situation, but developing the adaptability to handle whatever life throws our way.

Like running rapids on a river, life presents constant challenges and changing currents. Our task isn’t to control the water—it’s to keep our boat upright and moving forward.

Train yourself with strong principles and flexibility, and you’ll be ready—not just for the challenges you expect, but especially for those you don’t see coming.
