Introduction
All About the Benjamins Baby!
Showed up early, but Toby was earlier. No surprise there. Got the exercises written with chalk and the tunes set up. Had some late entries as we started warm-o-rama. Shocker Joe Dirt was late. Also had Upchuck coming in hot on his golf cart.
Warm-O-Rama
Mosey – Run, high knees, butt-kicks, karaoke one side, karaoke the other side, run back in
Circle up:
12 tappy taps – lost track of my cadence 🙂
10 Arm circles from and back

The Thang
Counted out partners. Had an odd number so Den Mother flew solo
Combined 100 reps between the team of the top exercise below, run half lap around parking lot, move on to next exercise, 100 reps between team, run half lap, repeat… If you get done with all 10 exercises start from the top again. Team with the highest # of reps wins a fabulous prize.

Talked about about the book Touchpoints. I discussed the first half of the book during my Q on 9-17. Today I recapped this briefly and then talked about the second half of the book.
A touchpoint is when you turn an ordinary interaction into an influential one. In any given day we have the opportunity to interact with 10s to 100s of different people. What lasting impression do we leave with the people that we interact with? Did we positively or negatively touch their mind, body, and soul?
The book then goes into how we can maximize that ratio of positive to negative interactions with people. This is accomplished through the head, heart, and hands.
Head – Using your head means that you think and speak logically. The clearer your thought process, the clearer the message and the greater the impact.
Heart – This is all about showing care and compassion when interacting with people. The words you speak may be well thought out and skillfully given but will ring hollow if they don’t think you really care. Be authentic and transparent in your words and actions.
Hands – The hands symbolize skill. In order to truly influence and motivate people, you need the conversational abilities.
My challenge to you today is to self-reflect on your ability in each of these areas. Where is your strength and were is your opportunity. To maximize your influence through touchpoints you need to master each of these. By mastering these you will increase the ratio of positive to negative interactions. By doing this you will not only touch the people you are directly interacting with but this will then influence these same people to act in a similar way which creates an exponential affect in our communities.

Dream team Vern and Boston Butt won the competition. Pretty sure they got to the second round of curls but not exactly sure. The fabulous prize was 100 grand, the candy bar that is 🙂
When I was putting this together I didn’t know how far we would get. Shooter said afterwards that he ended up running 2.5 miles which was great.
Busted out a new F3 rap mix for the music this morning. Trying to go with the theme and change it up from the grunge/alternative mix I played last time and the death metal that Toby plays!!
