5th Anniversary of F3 Princeton
Save the date! F3 Princeton’s 5th anniversary is coming up on April 13th.
Book Club – Freed to Lead
Join your brothers on Thursday night @ 8pm on Zoom to keep discussing ‘Freed to Lead’ which is the story, told by F3’s co-founders, of how they unwittingly launched an international movement from a Charlotte, N.C., middle school on New Year’s Day 2011. Through anecdote, metaphor, and the occasional “Truth Nugget,” Dave “Dredd” Redding and Tim “OBT” Whitmire reveal how the Three Fs they stumbled on – Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith – cure the “Sad Clown Syndrome” that plagues so many men in our culture and offer a solution to our society’s male leadership vacuum.
Keep an eye on Slack to for meeting details and no need to actually read the book to be a part of the discussion.

SideOut @ F3CARPEX
Coming from NJ (F3 Princeton); being at the right place at the right day, it was a great honor and privilege to have witnessed the convergence at F3 CARPEX. Watching first hand the relinquishing of F3 Nation Nant’an leadership by @slaughter to @darkhelmet. It’s a memorable experience especially when you don’t see our leaders in a regular basis and to workout with them on this special occasion. I met @Dredd, co-founder of F3 and he did Merkins next to me. Thanked him for F3. Told him that now, I’ve met both him and OBT. Mentioned that we are doing book club “Freed to Lead”, written by him. I thanked @darkhelmet and @slaughter their leadership. I met @Red Baron (F3 Snacktown) and expecting to see me at Keystone convergence. Thanks to @Curtis Hoberman (Dos Equis) for informing me about this event. Met so many Pax; could not keep up with names but they gave me “new” name “Hey Princeton”.
Message from Dredd: “Let us ALL be FISHERS of MEN!”
@SideOut
BlackHole @ F3 RVA
DR with F3 RVA at the DogPile (16 pax posted). Q by Handshake, on the occasion of his 40th bday! Lotsa HR merkins and mosey. Will share the pic when I get it. In the meantime, here’re pics from my run to the AO and back. The full moon in front of Byrd park and one at the Civil war museum.
