ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Grunt coming up November 8.
COT: Almost every convo YHC has had in the last few weeks has involved the impacts of the shutdown (direct or indirect). Take care of yourself if you’re directly affected and take care of others that might be struggling because of it. And look for ways where you can engage with others productively even if you have disagreements with them – maybe we can set an example for our representatives.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:

YHC’s been thinking about what it means to take a workmanlike approach to exercise. You show up, do solid work, and leave just enough in the tank so you can do it again tomorrow. Progress doesn’t come from one big effort—it’s built brick by brick, day after day. There’s a time for testing limits, but the real expansion comes through the grind. That steady effort—showing up ready to build again—is leadership.
