What’s up F3 Nation? Camo back with you for another Leadership Minute.

Been reflecting on “Get Right.” Hopefully you recognize Get Right as the first quadrant of leadership. It’s followed by Live Right, Lead Right, and Leave Right.

A lot of times we think of those like a straight line — like once you move on to the next quadrant, you never go back. But the truth is… leadership development is a cycle.

Life happens.

Sickness. Injury. Job changes. Stress. Family challenges. Sometimes we look up and realize we’ve drifted. Maybe we’ve lost consistency with the King and the daily red pill. Maybe discipline with the Queen has slipped and we’ve put on weight or lost focus.

It happens to everybody.

And when it does, the answer isn’t shame or judgment. The answer is action.

Sometimes we have to cycle back and Get Right again so we can accelerate back into Living Right and Leading Right.

If this message is hitting you today, bro, just know this: I’ve been there. Thousands of men have been there.

Just don’t stay there.

Make the decision to Get Right again so you can continue to live, lead, and impact the mission we’re on together through.

Have a great day, fellas.

Morning PAX, Camo here back with another Leadership Minute.

Just finished a solid Thursday beatdown at Coffeeteria and I’ve been reflecting on the mission — specifically the last three words:

Male Community Leadership.

Guys, the expectation of F3 is that we make things better.

That we take what we learn here in F3 and pour it back into every aspect of our communities.

It starts with our marriages and our families.
Then expands into our churches, neighborhoods, HOAs if that’s your thing, the sports teams we coach, the places we work — every circle of influence we touch.
So here’s the challenge this morning:

Take stock.

If you’re crushing it in the gloom… if you’re getting fit… if you’re consistently leading inside F3 — that’s awesome. But don’t stop there.

Take the principles you’ve learned.
Take the leadership you’ve built.
Take the accountability, consistency, and service mindset… and go apply it everywhere else in life.

Because that’s how this becomes bigger than workouts.
That’s how F3 creates true generational impact.
Through Male Community Leadership.

Have a great day, boys. See ya.

President Bush Painted Me.

Here's What He Didn't Paint:

President George W. Bush painted my portrait for "Portraits of Courage."

The painting shows the injury. The missing leg. The moment everything changed on Thanksgiving night 2004 in Iraq.

The portrait hangs behind me during calls. People see it and think that's the story. Marine loses leg in Iraq, gets painted by a president, becomes a symbol. Tragedy, recognition, inspiration.

The real story is what happened between the hospital bed and founding Sierra Delta in 2017.

Thirteen years of figuring out what to do after. Years working as a VA service officer seeing how broken the system was. Years with Semper Fi Fund and Wounded Warrior Project learning how nonprofits operate. Years building relationships with veterans who were stuck in the same cycle I almost got trapped in.

My dog Dozer saved my life in 2006 when I was drowning in depression. That experience became the blueprint for Sierra Delta.

Bush's painting captured a moment. Sierra Delta is what two decades of recovery built.

The portrait is powerful because people connect with the sacrifice. The injury is visible. Easy to understand. What's harder to capture is the work that comes after—the years of trying and failing and adjusting, building something that honors service without perpetuating victimhood.

That painting opened doors.

Got me speaking opportunities at the Bush Foundation and corporate events. Created credibility that helped Sierra Delta get partnerships with companies like Blue Buffalo.

Sure, the portrait tells people where I've been. But Sierra Delta shows them where I'm going.

Twenty years later, I'm still figuring it out.

That's the part worth painting.

@BTRowland N’Faly Dante perhaps?

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@asheville The WNC community has been ravaged by Helene and you are posting this and tweets about national coffee day.

This is completely tone deaf and disrespectful to the community you serve.

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@brianhadley66 @dreddcnc Amen, Rev, Amen! Yours was a holy naming… Flo-ri-da style!!! Still have those big boxing gloves?

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@mikerothstein We are committed to the run given MM limitations, so why not take advantage of the opportunities it presents in play action. Running on every obvious running down and passing on every passing down allowed Cincy to stuff us. Our biggest failure today was not mixing up play calls

@curtisadamo @FirecrackerFiA @F3Metro @mrsamberdupont I’m cofounder and Nantan emeritus for F3HOU. Happy to get him connected.

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@F3_Today @curtisadamo @F3Indy @F3Metro That’s Man Bun to you unless you want me to call you Shortboat...

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

Aye, Brother! Thanks for the knowledge and your leadership on this.

[Solid State @F3SolidState]

Stepping into the gloom I surrender what false image I have created for myself and put my faith in the strength of the weak and vulnerable person inside.

I am not alone.

Thank you to the Q's who push and the pax who post as we grind as brothers.

ISI - Life practice

According to the interwebs, this was six years ago today. Holy cow. Looks like a bunch of kids (though one in particular was already grey).

Good crew of HIMs.

@F3Nation

[Dante @F3Inferno]

Aye - please take the 30mins to listen; this is important information. Happy Birthday to a true #HIM who continues to inspire our Region, and an entire Nation - Happy Birthday, Brother! @mtpockets56 https://t.co/mgMwy4JEx4

@F3Razorback @F3Houston @F3Razorback at #TheHogg = Cosmic Porcine Karma! Great to have my @F3Indy brother drop in @F3Houston #brotherhood

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@brianhadley66 @F3Razorback @F3Houston @S_M_Saunders Well, you earned 3 three of those syllables - Reverend - on your own after delivering quite possibly the best prayer ever at a COT as a FNG. Of course, being the Bishop I had to consecrate you on the spot. Can I get a witness from the congregation!?!

[Rob Johnson @F3Bishop]

@F3Razorback @F3Houston @S_M_Saunders Aye, Brother! I'm in town this weekend, I will be posting at The Hogg and rucking at Miller Time. DM me so we can coordinate.

[F3FortBend (TX) @F3SugarLand]
