Circle of Trust

We are coming off F3 Crossroads’ first major Third F event from the weekend, the Honor Q Ruck. There were lots of great stories that came out of the event. One reminded me of a story from my past. In college I worked in a restaurant with several of my friends. One slow day my buddy was working on an assignment from his accounting class and he just wasn’t grasping the concept. I had a few accounting classes under my belt so I sat down and tried to put the lesson in layman’s terms. We talked for a few minutes and I went on with my day. This was not a profound moment in my life. Fast forward a decade later, and that same buddy of mine reminded me of that day I helped him out with his lesson. Those 5 minutes we talked were the boost he needed, and he eventually went on to become a CPA.

Oftentimes it is the small things that are done unknowingly and freely that have the largest impacts on others. I have been on both sides of these situations, and having people support me throughout my life has been a huge blessing.

Our man Skinner exemplified what F3 is all about this weekend. He served as Site Q for Dilly Dilly’s Team 1 and provided encouragement for a woman on the team that had recently started her fitness journey. Skinner stayed with her the entire 9 miles and helped her complete a monumental task. I am sure that woman will be singing the praises of F3 after the impact Skinner had on her.

This is what F3 is all about. Leading by example and making a lasting impact on other’s lives.
