Leadership moment- perseverance. Sometimes things go easy, sometimes you have to do things you’d rather not do. Regardless, a strong person gets things done, regardless.

11 PAX came out this morning and helped kick off the month the right way.

Birthdays aren’t nearly as exciting as they used to be, but starting the day with this group makes them a lot more meaningful. Getting older is a blessing. Sure, the aches, pains, and random ailments that seem to appear overnight aren’t always fun, but every year is a gift. Being healthy enough to get out of bed, push ourselves physically, and show up for one another is something that should never be taken for granted.

If I had one birthday wish, it would be to see F3 NWInd continue to grow and double our active PAX. The impact F3 has on men, families, and communities is too important to keep to ourselves. To make that happen, we have to get comfortable EHing everyone and anyone. EHing is a lot like sales—it rarely happens after the first conversation. Most people need multiple invitations before they finally show up. Stay persistent. Keep reaching out. Keep investing in people. You never know when that next invitation will be the one that changes someone’s life.

We also have a lot happening across F3 right now. Challenge yourself to participate. Sign up for that event you’re on the fence with. Grab a Q. Show up to the workout. Support the fundraiser. Do the harder thing. Growth rarely happens in our comfort zone, and I’ve never met a man who regretted leaning into F3 and all it has to offer.

Thank you all for helping make this birthday a great one. I’m grateful to be on this journey with each of you.

SYITG,
HHH

P.S. On-site coffeeteria is the way to go.

BACKBLAST: Saturday, 4/04/26 Ultimate Frisbee @ Colonel Wheeler

9 PAX came out for a warm, moist day. Light drizzle the entire time. Couldn’t have asked for better conditions considering the forecast. Turf was not slick or holding water. By far the best field to play on. We are spoiled.

Great games. The Mick wants everyone to know he went undefeated today.

I almost started this backblast with a comment about the “unseasonably warm” Christmas, but I looked back and the past several Christmas beatdowns have been near 50 degrees… so, apparently it is “normal” now.

A short moleskin:
It was great to see so many PAX out for a Christmas beatdown. We also had a good mix of OG PAX as well as some new faces (new to me anyway). It always great to see the growth and the consistency of F3NWIND.

All in all, it was fantastic to be back out in the gloom with the F3 brothers. I pray you all had a very merry Christmas and enjoyed some fellowship with your families.
