F3 Combating Loneliness
Feeling Alone In a time where men everywhere seem permanently connected to their “smart” phones, more people feel isolated and alone. On the whole, we have more “friends” and yet have less meaningful relationships. In a 2023 study nearly 60% of people feel alone or lonely on a regular basis! Consider how isolating that mustContinueContinue reading “F3 Combating Loneliness “
How Are Fitness and Leadership Related: More Than a Workout

222 posts and 15 Q’s into my F3 career since July 2022, it was my pleasure and privilege to teach Q School. To keep me humble, the Sky Q made sure I forgot to bring our flags.
