8 men answer the 530a Monday call to get after it despite the mid 30s temperature and thanksgiving week get out of jail card. Always inspired by their commitment to push themselves and thankful for the opportunity to lead this group of men.
Q shared his perspective on gratitude and the humbling year that was 2023. Pushed PAX to dig deep this week on uncovering what we’re really grateful for and to separate that from the surface level, holiday card version of what we mean when we’re grateful.
For me, it’s the fact that my youngest, Liv (1), is alive today. It’s for my health. It’s for my marriage not only suriving, but thriving, in a pediatric terminal illness diagnosis when data suggests otherwise. And, it’s for meeting this inspiring group of men when I needed them most. F3 has been a boon in what can best be summarized as a traumatic year for me. With those challenges comes transformation, and while it wasn’t a fair trade, I’m a better version of myself because of all of it and to put a positive spin on it, after surviving that, nothing can shake me moving forward.
