F3 Lexington Backblasts
Daily Maxwell July16 THE POWER OF A DREAM I believe that each of us has a dream placed in the heart. I’m not talking about wanting to win the lottery. That kind of idea comes from a desire to escape our present circumstances, not to pursue a heartfelt dream. I’m talking about a vision deep …
Daily Maxwell 07/13/17 VISION My observation over the last twenty years has been that all effective leaders have a vision of what they must accomplish. That vision becomes the energy behind every effort and the force that pushes through all the problems. With vision, the leader is on a mission and a contagious spirit is …
Daily Maxwell July 15BREAKTHROUGHEvery major difficulty you face in life is a fork in the road. You choose which track you will head down, toward breakdown or breakthrough. Dick Biggs, a consultant who helps Fortune 500 companies improve profits and increase productivity, writes that all of us have unfair experiences; as a result, some people …
Daily Maxwell JULY 14 SELF-IMPROVINGWe live in a society with destination disease. Too many people want to do enough to “arrive,” and then they want to retire. My friend Kevin Myers says it this way: “Everyone is looking for a quick fix, but what they really need is fitness. People who look for fixes stop …
Daily Maxwell 07/13/17 COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIPWhen I began my leadership career, I was very ineffective as a leader. I believed I had talent. But when I got out into the real world, I fell far short of my expectations. How did I turn things around? By making small decisions that were difficult. With each one, I …
Today’s Maxwell 07/11/17 PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW BEGINS TODAY Recently, a few friends and I were privileged to have dinner with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and his wife, Judith, in Orlando after a speaking engagement.

Daily Maxwell 07/09/17 CREATE A GROWTH ENVIRONMENT Just as the growth of tropical fish is limited by the size of the aquarium in which they live, you are affected by your environment. That’s why it’s crucial to create an environment of growth around you. That kind of place should look like this: Others are ahead …
Daily Maxwell 07/08/17 BE WILLING TO DO WHAT OTHERS WON’T It’s said that an aid group in South Africa once wrote to missionary and explorer David Livingstone, “Have you found a good road to where you are? If so, we want to know how to send other men to join you.” Livingstone replied, “If you …
I read with great fervor the post from CrotchRocket about the success of the Spring LEAP season. There is nothing quite like the thrill of seeing more and more men #FreedToLead. And then I thought about my own LEAP experiences, from the very first time I went to another area to launch all the way …

Spring 2017 Expansion: Our Biggest Leap Yet! Gentleman, If you have heard OBT and Dredd speak, they stress that the only way F3 continues to be successful is by each man giving it away. To that end I wanted to take a minute and update everyone on our Spring ’17 LEAP efforts. This was our …

“Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?” This question was asked of George Leigh Mallory, who was with both expeditions toward the summit of the world’s highest mountain, in 1921 and 1922, and who was in New York. He planned to go again in 1924, and he gave as the reason for persisting in …

Join F3York as we host our first ever CSAUP…the Mastodon. As F3York continues to grow, we decided that we needed to make a mark on the map with an insane (completely stupid) event. With the overwhelming amount of Pax getting into the ruck craze, a ruck inspired endurance event was conceived. This event will suck …

I BELIEVE yet I’ve never BEEN. I’ve never walked where Jesus walked and I’ve never seen the land that Jesus saw. That’s gotta change. Have you been? Don’t we have to go at least once? If you’ve been once…why not twice? If you’re like me you’re a Christian and have been for decades. Yet I’ve …

Congratulations – you are now four weeks in to the fuel challenge! I don’t know about y’all, but this dairy free week has been pretty rough!

On March 28, 2015 a new kind of AO was formed in downtown Cola, somebody came up with it’s name-The Mission. The familiar F3 mission statement applied: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of the male community leadership. What made The Mission a “new kind” of AO was the male …
21 days into the New Year, we were geeked to have 27 PAX post for today’s Mission workout. As hopefully everyone will attest, this AO is especially special…where all 3 Fs consistently show-up. We were so happy to welcome 5 PAX that traveled all the way from the Grand Strand, rising in the gloom to …
Congratulations – you have almost made it halfway through the challenge! Starting Monday, we will take on another weekly challenge… one that YHC and many others find to be quite difficult.

MudGear is a company born from the F3 experience. In 2012, a FEBA-filled Malkovich and a small crew from F3 Charlotte Metro stepped up to take over F3 Gear ordering responsibilities from OBT, who had grown weary of handing out shirts from the back of his car. The operation nearly failed to launch …

Are you ready for a convergence with a purpose!!! After the Hurricane Matthew clean up, it became vitally clear that while F3 had the manpower and gumption to assist in disaster relief, we didn’t have any official credentials. F3 St. Simons is going to host, in partnership with SSUMC, an Early Response Team Training event. …
Some things are worth the wait…F3 Camden was originally planned to be launched on 1/7/2017, but icy road conditions for the traveling pax made the launch get pushed back one week. Well, this was one decision that was worth the wait. 44 pax with 17 FNG’s arrived at Rectory Square for the launch of F3 …
Way to go, fellas! We’re TWO weeks into the fuel challenge. Now it’s time to discuss the Week 3 Challenge: The Caffeine Cutback. Yes, it hurts me, too. Yes it’s hard.

Last year F3 men from three different regions teamed up for a fall mission trip to Haiti hot on the heels of Hurricane Matthew’s pass over the island nation. It was a trip that was in the planning stages for months but was used, due to that disaster, at the height of their need. F3Haiti …

Merry New Year, er’rbody! Hope your 2017 is off to a great start. It’s been a while since we fired up the good ole Fuel Challenge, so after hearing several pax ask about bringing it back over the holidays (and YHC going on a feeding frenzy that has lasted approximately 6 weeks), we’re going to …

Not snow, not ice, not football, not several push backs, nor even temperature could keep 72 PAX away from conquering the Frozen Edition of The Cottonmouth. For almost two years I’ve participated in this juggernaut called F3. And one thing that is a common theme throughout is: present a challenge, no matter how difficult, and …
Back at the 5-year anniversary Ultra-Convergence in Charlotte, something Dredd said at the end stuck with me. I’m paraphrasing this quote but it’s fairly close: “Some guy out there needs this. Some guy out there is wondering what the heck his life is all about. Some guy out there is being a lousy Dad. Some …

At F3 Greenwood’s first ever Christmas party, YHC was struck with a really weird idea: What if we get like eight guys to Q a workout and give them 30 minutes each? After asking around, it was clear we had enough guys interested. “That sounds completely stupid,” Meatloaf said. “And utterly pointless,” quipped Flossy. And, …

It’s not an accident. Men of purpose and impact are intentional about their lives. Men who become part of F3 start to explore the idea of Faith. In many cases, this starts with asking questions like, “What do I believe? What do I value? What is important to me? Is there more than just writing …

Note: This post is about the men of F3 Columbia, Lexington, and Lake Murray who have answered the call to serve men in their community. When I say “I” or “we”, I’m talking about these guys. If you take one thing away from this post, I hope you will find it in your heart to …
Some of these guys are fast and strong and likely could keep pace with about anyone – heck, they traversed the Mud Run with Dredd. The rest are busting their butts to get faster and stronger. But they all go back to the Oliver Gospel Mission at 9:30 and get back to the real workout. …
