This Week In The Expanse
First things first, we're wishing our friend and co-founder @Tah Whitty, and his beloved partner, easy passage to Spain today. Welcome our new members @Laurence Blenman, @Sushant Gupta and @Josh Trent. It's great to have y'all. Check the pinned posts for guidance on how to orient to the container. This Weeks Calls & Events: Tomorrow Night (Tuesday 2/10) we have our All Community call, open to all members at 7pm CST. Go to the Calendar tab for event and the call link. These calls (open to all members) will occur every 4 weeks. So come with questions, wins, gratitude and requests for support. Also Movement 2 (Intention) for ManOS drops tomorrow night. So for our premium members @Rhys Hall, @Jared Fenn & @Lendon Pope stay tuned for that. The next ManOS Call is scheduled for Tuesday 2/17 @ 7pm CST. Because our Man @Tah Whitty is now tuning in from a whole new time zone these call times are subject to change. So if there are specific days & times (before 5pm CST) that work for our participating members, feel free to send me a direct message. Lastly, I recently received word that a friend of a friend decided to Opt-Out of Life. The news served as a cold and stark reminder of why I'm doing what I'm doing. While I support someone's sovereignty and their decision to un-alive themselves, I also can't help but weep at the sadness that we as humans have created a society and a community where more people than ever are dropping out of Life (and disproportionately men). And seemingly have no-one to talk to about it. I Love Life too much and believe too strongly in the abundance of Love and Beauty not to want to experience it, share it, and help others see and feel it too. And for those who have lost sight of that Love & Beauty, be it due to hurt, pain, loss, deficit or any other form of violence and are contemplating Opting-Out of Life- if there is any part of you that wants to stay and keep playing the game, I AM HERE to play it WITH YOU.

My wife and daughter just pulled in after being gone for a week, so I won't make the call tonight. Peace and love to everyone! Putting on the husband and father hat the rest of the night ✌️

@Corbin Sellers I'd say I'm at a good 8-9 😁

@Corbin Sellers it's been nice to have the awareness and be ok to say no to the overlap. It something I can name. It brings peace and joy to recognize and give myself permission to put on the 'Jared' hat and be ok tuning things out that belong to the other hats. My journaling this morning made me realize that within one 'hat' there are sub-hats that I need to identify and differentiate. Within the hat of "Provider" there's the "provider-business owner" and then "provider-landlord" and provider-entrepreneur" (as I'm exploring a few new ventures). This morning I realized that I need to differentiate and again, only wear one hat at a time.

I'm gonna kick this off. "What does being a man mean to me?" For me, as a Man, I wear many hats and ultimately it's up to me to be accountable for wearing each of those hats with confidence and authority. The hats include husband, brother, father, leader, son, neighbor, provider... I work so hard to wear those hats and be accountable. Failure (taking off all the hats) is not acceptable if I'm truly being the Man I want to be. I've realized there's one hat that never gets named. A hat I thought I had to take off and put aside as I became a man. That hat became less relevant when I started wearing the "leader" and "manager" hat. Less relevant when I started wearing the husband hat. Significantly less relevant when I started wearing the father hat. This is "the Jared hat". The one where I can wear it and only be accountable to myself. Where all that matters is myself and my place in life before my God. For the last year as my wife went thru cancer treatments, I had to evolve the father hat into parent hat, while maintaining the strong husband hat. The Jared hat got put away, no time for that. What I'm realizing is that if Jared disappears and never puts on his own hat, then the rest become duty and obligation rather than hope and love. So to me, I'm learning that for me, a true man not only wears the different hats with authority and confidence, he KONWS when it's time to put on his own hat and solidify his own foundation first, before trying to be that stability for others. To me being a man is about wearing the correct hat intentionally and knowing when to intentionally take it off.
Anyone utilizing SMART goals?
When you are in the strategy phase of the Man OS, what strategies do you use for goal setting? I recently learned about SMART goals and it make a lot of sense to me. - S – Specific - Clear and well-defined. You know exactly what you’re aiming for. - - M – Measurable - You can track it with numbers or clear criteria. Progress is visible. - - A – Achievable - (sometimes Attainable)Realistic given your resources, time, and current capacity. - - R – Relevant - It actually matters to your life, values, or bigger vision. - - T – Time-bound - There’s a deadline or timeframe that creates focus and momentum. Is this something that would be helpful?

Anyone utilizing SMART goals?

I recently read a book that has given me a new perspective on goal setting and it focuses on using Time as a tool and not a constraint. The idea was: often we have a goal and we put a deadline on it, but if we were to take that goal and deadline and then compress it, sometimes it forces us to get creative and find alternative paths to our end goal. So let's say I want to double my company's revenue in 3 yrs. Ok. That's good, ambitious, but doable. But then, using Time as a tool I say, I want to double it in 1 yr. I just compressed time. I now say "if that really did happen, what would have to happen this week, month, etc?". When we look to the future from the lense of the past, we say, there's no way. But when we imagine our future selves talking to us and looking back as if it already happened we open new mental pathways. I might say "the only way that's even possible is I'd have to hire 3 more employees and maybe we buy out one of my competitors..or what if I bought a competitor and retained their employees?." So it is possible, but via totally different means. And now the pathway for my goal is totally different , even tho the goal is the same. Anyway I love the idea of SMART goals and now when I get to the T, I take it a step further and I ponder, "what if I compress time and do it in 1/2 or even 1/10 the time?" And it's amazing the paths this step takes me on to discover other options and resources.

Thanks @Ankhara Akeru for the reminder to use the SMART framework!
Monday Language Check
Alright fellas, Monday Language Check. What kind of language do you use when you talk to yourself/about yourself? Drop it in the comments and let's look under the hood at the language we use with ourselves.

I use a lot of cautious words and phrases: I think, maybe, I'll try, might, could, want, sometime... If you always use words like this, words that are subjective, noone can hold you accountable. Confidence in myself has eroded over the last decade and words like this are safer. I'll try to reach my goals, maybe we'll do better next month, I want to eat healthier... Time to be more aware of this language. I'm not trying to be better, I will do better. I will talk to myself with more absolutes and less ambiguity. And if I fail?...who cares.
