We have Exiles (The experience of afflictive emotions usually as a youngster i.e. shame, anger, etc.)

We Develop Protectors (Managers as socially acceptable ways of compensating or keeping unwanted emotions exiles and Firefighters reactive ways of dealing when the exiles are triggered) Both can be unhealthy ways of not facing our feelings or learning how to cope effectively with life and all it’s difficulties)

Then we have our self or the part of us connected to God that is able to live in reality and on life’s terms. We can use this self energy or connectedness to God to reach our exiles and help our protectors to not be so extreme in their ways.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Handoff of the flag and AOQ from Herbie to Geppetto

To the pax:

It has been an honor and blessing to be the AOQ for the Brickyard. You men have inspired and challenged me. We have faced a pandemic together and grown stronger together. F3 has made me a better man and you all are a part of that. Leadership of the AO does not fall on the shoulders of one man. You all are a part of this. If you haven’t figured it out yet, we are a leadership group disguised as a workout group. So if you have an idea of something to do, don’t wait do it. You are freed to lead. Start it up and pull other men into it with you and get after it.

I love you all.

To Geppetto:

I’m handing over a group of rowdy wild men that are passionate and outspoken. They have heart and will push you to your limits at times. As the AOQ you will represent Brickyard to the other AOs and with the Nantan, but you are not alone. Do not feel that you have to do everything yourself, you have a group of men here to lead and guide. Call upon us, challenge us and push us to be better. Iron sharpens iron only by being struck and scraped together. At times things will be abrasive, but that is the sharpening of men and it cannot be done alone. Thank you for your willingness to step up and be the AOQ, we have your back.
