Q: Hair Band
PAX: Toothless, Right Said, Young and Restless, Natural Ice – CBO, Firefox, Pebbles, t-cell, hambone, SalPal, Tim the Toolman, Hair Band, F3 Omaha: @Lot Lizard, @g-string
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: nippy
WARMUP:
Hair Band was late so Toothless and the boys took us through a warm up
THE THANG:
Once HB finally showed, we moseyed to the hill by the flag and had a relay race.
2 teams
Both teams do burpees
1st person does a 10 burpee buy in then runs up the hill, touches the flag, and them back down tagging the next person
The next person does not have to do the buy since they have been doing burpees the whole time
First team to complete gets to choose next exercise
Rinse repeat
Winning team gets first dibs at breakfast/coffee
During the beatdown HIMs were encouraged to discuss:
1 What “hooked” you into joining F3?
2 What leadership did you witness?
Final Tally
Team 1: IIII
Team 2: II
Breakfast is served
We were joined by Black Lung, Jason Callen (Deep Dish), & one other who i’m forgetting
t-cell shared some wisdom and thoughts surrounding the starting of F3 Nashville. He read some emails sent to him from F3 Charlotte when F3 Nash was first getting kicked off.
We split into two groups and had discussion time prompted by a list of questions the SLT put together. Groups were encouraged to pick the questions that stuck out, not necessarily go through all. :party_parrot: I encourage each of you to read these questions and answer one that sticks out to you below, let’s keep the discussion going!
List of questions:
1 Who is your favorite AOQ? And why?
2 What makes you afraid of being an AOQ/stepping into leadership? What are your insecurities as an AOQ?
3 What should the trajectory of an AOQ look like?
4 What makes a quality transition? How can new AOQs be lead best?
5 What’s the one thing you do that makes your AO successful?
6 What does success look like as an AOQ?
7 1⭐️-10⭐️ AOQ experiences? What would perfection look like?
8 What are their experiences as AOQs?
9 What is a good FNG intake process?
10 How do we reconnect with Kotters?
11 How can the AOQ be the Chief Energy Officer?
12 Best practices to achieve?
13 What makes a good AOQ?
14 What makes a bad AOQ?
15 Where are AOQs not performing their duties?
16 What should the trajectory of an AOQ look like?
17 What makes a quality transition? How can new AOQs be lead best?
Takeaways:
– “It’s about the led, not the leader”
– Growth trajectory of AOQ:
1. Aware of breadth of influence:
1. Tone
2. Energy
3. Expectations
4. Connection
5. Give “permission” to others
1. Grow in confidence and skill
2. Set other men on fire to lead and grow
– As soon as you start feeling comfortable in the role, start looking for and investing in your replacement – basically lead before you’re ready and leave before you’re ready. You’re stewarding the time in the role well as a servant leader, not holding onto it forever.
– Personal connection is magic of F3
– Main fear to starting as an AOQ is “will anyone show up?”
– Best AOQs have a “presence,” I.e. they are felt when there and immediately missed when gone, they set the tone
– Many AOQs may stop at the logistics level, but it’s important to be intentional in thinking of the impact beyond logistics
– Big focus should be on growing leaders for sake of not just F3, but for how that shapes them as they go back to their families & workplace

Thanks so very much to everyone that attended, I would love to do this again. Special shout out to Toothless, Right Said, Natural Ice – CBO, & Chunks for their invaluable help in planning and putting this together. Additional thanks to t-cell for spending time with us and sharing.
It was a pleasure to Q this, I had an absolute ball.
Rock on,
