COT: Most men, including YHC, tend to live the majority of their lives in their comfort zone. We have plenty of food, a comfortable home, warm bed, a nice source of income and people who love us. That’s all very good, BUT our true potential cannot be found within that comfort zone. We need to explore the edges of our potential to truly live life most fully. YHC believes we all have innate evolutionary machinery in us that gets triggered when we do really hard things. This GrowRuck event is designed to unlock us all, especially as we learn to operate as a team. It is designed to help us fully understand not only with our heads, but also with our hearts, that, together, we can accomplish so much more than we ever thought possible. And that understanding is what will accelerate this F3TheCapital region to truly make a community impact beyond anything we can currently imagine.

Aye!
