Everyone welcome @Zach Patterson to the family. He's a great brother and someone that some of you could definitely make use of his abilities. He's an amazing graphics guy. If you have an image he can help create something for you and your applications.

I had knee surgery on June 3, 2025 I was put off work because there was no light duty work June 4, 2025 I went to Physical Therapy 3x a week for 3 months Doing what I could to make money to supplement what workers comp didn't cover Mowing lawns, helping people that needed a hand that I could lend, started going live on TikTok I went to the doctor August 26, 2025, I was cleared to go back to work full duty I wake up August 27, 2025, I was ready to get back to work so that my family didn't have to struggle Here I sit August 27, 2025, after getting up at 6am to finally make it back to work. I walked into the shop ready. The boss pulled me aside and said, "we need to talk." We go to the office he says I'm sorry, we don't have enough work to bring you back. I'll call you when we need you. This is some of that pain that we as men carry for our families. We don't want our loved ones to bare the weight, so we carry it alone so that it doesn't burden them. That's where our Brotherhood built on God comes into play. There are men here who have similar stories. Someone is willing to help you carry it. I'm not giving up. I will make it. This is the begging of MY story.

I've missed everyone. Ever since I had my surgery I've been somewhat absent from Skool. I have spoken with a few of you, but I miss all of you. I miss the awesome connection we had in the beginning. I may be contemplating a pivot to better serve those who actually have a need or desire to get help in a certain area. I don't want any of you to feel like place holders in this community. It's not about the numbers for me. It never has been. I want real genuine connection. I want for us to be able to run into one another on the street and not feel like we are meeting a complete stranger. I want more for this community. I also don't just want this to be another community taking up space on your list. What is something you are struggling with right now?

After a call I had today with @Philippe Pyram it made me take a step back and look at where my focus was. Made me look deeper into where my attention was focused. After taking inventory of where my energy was going, I was able to clear my mind a bit and get clearer on my goals and intentions. So, I ask you, do you know where all your energy is being sent? Are you being intentional with your time? Or are you spreading yourself too thin because you lack the patience to focus in one area at a time.

Hello gents, to honour Kev's continuous work here, I want to share what I do behind the scenes to ensure I evolve from within (the inner work). The files also show my routine workouts, nutrition habits and " spirituality / inner work "stuff. My new Identity crafting sticks to my "self-accountability ". // Of course, I created for myself custom tools & protocols as well to make sure I stay on track. Enjoy your weekend, guys. 🙏
