COT:

Spoke about Trust as it relates to Leadership.

Can’t have leadership without Trust.

Unhealthy Trust – given too quickly. Oversharing. You have to do the same thing. If you don’t. You are bad.

Unhealthy distrust – no matter how much equity built. Never trust anyone. Chronic distrust cannot lead. People do not feel safe around people who do not trust them.

Healthy Trust – trust but verify. Benefit of the doubt. Give them the opportunity to build trust. Give 20% and let them build to 100%. Willing to give more if consistent.

3 components of trust:

1.) character – can I trust you with my wife, my life, and my wallet

2. Responsibilities/commitments – you do what you say you are going to do.

3.) care and compassion – no trust if you don’t care about people. Relationships is the glue that builds trust. All four generations respond well to respect.

Matlock (Bill Maddox) was kind enough to share the Q this morning as he and Gene Steratore bought Dick Vitale’s breakfast at Denny’s this morning in preparation for next week’s Bracket Q. Don’t get caught not knowing what Lipscpmb’s mascot is!

Great having Unibráu (Nick Robinson)and the legendary Abacus back out with us.

7 Motivators, some stretching, and we moseyed. We’re all bulletproof until 2035, thank you junk science, and then halfway through getting our shoulders blasted, our buddy Bob led us in some paper/rock/scissors. Bob’s a real one.

My goal was to channel my inner Double Wide and do some sprinting but all too soon I realized it’s Cinco (Scott McGuire) who is uncatchable and P3 who you can’t even see, he runs so far ahead. We have some impressive sprinters among us.

We wandered over to the cloud and your Q’s personal policy is to do whatever Cat Gut (Mike Davis) says. So we went all the way to the Dark Webb. It’s a long journey. I actually thought the Dark Webb would make even Hot Tub (John Muller) be out of breath but I heard him talking about hot tubs, which makes me think we need to have a Q where we can only mumblechatter about what we’re named after.

Some Pavalon work and back to the AO for the Friday main event (cashing out of course) and we were all ready for the weekend.

COT:

Spoke about Mental health. Call for awareness to be there for one another and to recognize when someone is in need of help, but may not know how to ask for it. It is important for us to stay connected with one another and not let our souls slip into isolation.

Romans 8:38-39 – “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
:small_blue_diamond: No matter what we face—including mental health struggles—God’s love remains constant.
