COT
• YHC’s 54th b-day was this month.
• As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that not all friendships are equal. The best people to surround yourself with are people who celebrate your progress, challenge your thinking, and push you to be your best self—even when it’s uncomfortable.
• Good friends support you, but the best friends stretch you. They’ll call you out when you’re slacking, not to tear you down, but because they believe you’re capable of more. They’re the ones who clap the loudest when you win. They’ll push you to apply for the job you don’t think you’re qualified for. They’ll nudge you toward the right kind of relationship, not just the convenient one. They’ll remind you of who you are when you forget.
• I want to surround myself with people who inspire me—people who make me want to level up, not just fit in. That’s why I love F3 – leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him. You guys inspire me.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Boneathon, Convergence
COT: Book Club met Monday and among the many things we talked about were waves of guys who have come and gone over time and a lot of ‘where are they now.’ This is the time of year to get people out here for the first time and reach out to those who have faded out (Kotters) and try to get them back in the fold. It’s not just about fitness there are three F’s and they are all valuable and most folks don’t even know they needed this. Warm weather, plenty of daylight, available excuses are at minimum … In June, go for one FNG and one Kotter. Aye!
