Ran to ButterBilly hill where we did 7’s with burpees at the bottom and burpees at the top. Had we done 11s, nobody’s keys would have been there when we got back.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Learn to take care of your things, and they will always take care of you”. A simple lesson my meticulous father taught me as a young boy. As most teenagers are, I was careless with anything I owned or used. For example, I would use my father’s tools and always failed to put them back where they belong. Then, they would get left outside, rust, and no longer function as desired, OR I could never find them whenever I needed them again.

Although it is a general adage, it is extremely relevant and a great reminder as men and leaders. Whether it is your mental or physical health, your family, your career, your employees, or anything else in life you are responsible for, it is important to take time to give them TLC and be intentional with everything you do. Take time to care for your things in life, and they will always care for you.

MOLESKIN:
– Potential opportunity to serve and work with True Purpose Ministries, an addiction treatment center in Blount County. This is an all-male facility that provides housing, job training, food, clothing, transportation, and bible discipleship training to men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. This could be a great opportunity to support this organization and our local community.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have been on vacation from work all of July.  Today I go back to work.  I have been dreading going back to work leading up to today but last night I started thinking about how much worse my experience will be if I go into it with a bad attitude.  So I made a conscious decision that I was going go into the day with a positive attitude, claiming that they day would be a good one. Yes, it could still turn out terrible but at least I will start my day off better.  Many of our experiences in life are greatly effected my our attitudes going into them.  Control what you can control.  Make the choice to have a positive attitude.   Do this for yourself and for those around you.

THA-THANG:
Todays beatdown was an homage to a Bombshelter legend Hammy. In honor of his Triple Respect birthday yesterday Q dug into the archives and put together some Hammy classics. Q also included a little         Hammy-isum before each Thang-Thang. Those that have experienced a Hammy Q know it’s not just the beatdown where your mind and body are challenged. A Hammy BOM is sometimes more impactful than the beatdown, and that’s saying a lot. Hammy had to relinquish todays Q due to an injury so Q felt it only seemed fitting to give us a Hammy Q.

Hammy-isum:  “ We should appreciate the freedom we have that was started in 1776 and resulted in 1% of the colony’s citizens giving their life to attain it.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
F3 is so unique and special. You can’t find an organization where men can surround themselves with men from all walks of life from 18-70. It gives us the chance to grow as men in so many ways. I’m so thankful for F3.
MOLESKIN:
Hammy you’re an inspiration to this pax and I’m honored to gridded away aside you. Q realized that Hammy would probably be asking why I would do this beatdown because it’s not like he is dead.

Leadership is influence. F3 is about growing male leadership in our community. Enough said.

Triple Respect 🤜🤛
