COT

Discussed

• SLT Meeting Options (I’ll follow-up in Slack)
• Prayers
  • F3 Cardinal, his family, and his F3 Brothers.
  • Flush and the passing of his Mother
  • Domo’s treatment
  • Us as fathers to be intentional and tuned into our kids

It was an honor to prepare and complete this beat down in memory of F3 Cardinal. As I prepared for this one, I was thinking about him probably stressing over his VQ, like we all have. That night before wondering if it will work out and how to adapt on the fly. The consensus – he planned a great VQ. We had some hard work with the burpees – and a test of cardio. Good Beatdown Cardinal, RIP brother.

We shared some thoughts today that Flush had shared. He saw his Mom for lunch regularly and took his kids with him. We should all stay intentional with making time with family. Also, Flush talked about recent parenting focuses of leaning in to things his kids are interested in – as time moves fast and they are growing fast.  Great thoughts for us all.

Until next time,
