Hello, just wanted to pop in and give an update on payments collected for our men's summit on September 18 through the 20th. I have attached a list of all men who have paid the $250 that is due by the end of February to lock in their spots for the summit. After February 28, we will be opening up this opportunity to the men outside of this Skool group including the BCWT? Facebook group (1,000 members). If you are seeing this and you plan to attend, do not delay in sending your $250 ASAP via Zelle or Cash App (*see attached photos). There will be no more than 12 spots total available for the trip (CURRENTLY EIGHT REMAINING). We will be going to the NC mountains September 18-20 and will be deciding on which cabin to rent based on the total number of paid participants we have by the beginning to middle of April. We hope that you will join us for this amazing opportunity to further build community with some great brothers! I want to thank brothers @Willie Walker, @Winston Earle, and @Ismail Shahid for their input and leadership on this project. I'm excited and we've got a great itinerary planned for you. Don't miss this; it's our first official trip! Coach Damon *** more info to come Please place any questions in the comments below.. we will try to get them answered expeditiously.

Let me say something that many of us have felt recently: It can feel like everything is theater. Politics. Media. Outrage cycles. Corporations. Influencers. Fear campaigns. Moral grandstanding. Everybody selling something. Everybody performing something. Everybody reacting to something. And you sit there and think: Is any of this real anymore? And if it’s not… why should I even try? That’s not weakness. That’s awareness colliding with overload. But here’s the pivot: If the world feels like a stage…that doesn’t make your life a rehearsal. It makes your WHY even more critical. Because when the external world becomes unstable, manipulated, or noisy… The only thing that stabilizes youis internal conviction. SECTION 1: WHY A STRONG WHY MATTERS MORE IN CHAOS When systems feel unreliable, men drift into one of three places: 1. Nihilism – “Nothing matters.” 2. Distraction – “I’ll just stay entertained.” 3. Rage – “Burn it all down.” None of those build a life. A strong WHY does something different: It narrows your focus. It says: I may not control the world,but I control the man I’m becoming inside it. There’s research behind this. Psychologist Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, observed something critical: Men who had a reason to livewere more psychologically resilient under extreme suffering. His conclusion wasn’t spiritual fluff. It was clinical observation: Meaning sustains endurance. When the world feels unstable, meaning becomes oxygen. Without it? You suffocate in noise. SECTION 2: “IF EVERYTHING IS FAKE, WHY BUILD ANYTHING REAL?” (Discussion Segment) Ask the room: - Have you ever felt like everything around you was performative? - Have you felt distrust toward institutions, media, systems? - Does that ever make you feel detached or numb? If the world is scripted…then authenticity becomes rebellion. If the world runs on distraction…then focus becomes power. If the world manipulates fear…then clarity becomes armor. Your WHY becomes: - A filter - A compass - A shield

Ayo, I'm noticing in Minnesota, children (*pre adults) wilding out, footages showing these aged kids beating up parents (adults regardless if parent or not)! I repudiate those actions and don't condone these for it's anarchist spirit they reside in! And no respect can earn any advice. However, those that protest, I'm not even going to repudiate their actions in a whole, but many see their purposes to stand in the "gap" where adults who've been older than these teenagers don't see and understand the reason of their purpose! These adults may feel more on the line of, 'go and get back in school, what the hell y'all doing, get ya grades up first', etc! Many adults already know that these pre adults aren't running off full cylinders, but their purposes seem most solid, in that these teenagers see a problem, and have balls to try to do something. They see a villain, and any other person that sides with that villain is gonna bear the brunt of these pre adults' wrath, right?! But with or without a moral leader, they will be judged as the measure they give out! These pre adults and some of you men may have teenagers (pre adults ) living in y'all own house, and certain convos may not hit y'all ears yet? But be the strong leaders for y'all household to teach what is right, justice for the weak, and injustices, right! For none of us ever want our children to be judged severely. Even to where their life be subjected to harsh punishment! https://youtu.be/IyYIgbbzD2I?si=Ioc68ZvPeru9Akzm https://youtu.be/52o0dkmAT18?si=kq9x6tt33v7lZYaC

Shalom Shalom Brothers. For those of you who couldn't join us last night, here are the notes. It's my hope that we all will hold on to the nuggets from this, as the "WHY" behind anything is more important than the actual thing itself. Coach D IDENTIFYING YOUR WHY When the Why Is Clear, the How Stops Being Scary OPENING MONOLOGUE Most men don’t lack discipline. They don’t lack intelligence. They don’t lack opportunity. They lack clarity. And when a man doesn’t know why he’s moving, every step feels heavy. Every obstacle feels personal. Every setback feels like a sign to quit. We’ve been taught to chase goals without ever anchoring them. Money. Fitness. Relationships. Purpose. But without a why, those are just things — not commitments. Here’s the truth most people avoid: If your why is weak, you will negotiate with your excuses. If your why is borrowed, you will abandon it under pressure. If your why is unclear, you will stay busy and go nowhere. Tonight is about removing the noise. Not hyping you up. Not motivating you temporarily. Tonight is about getting honest enough to name the thing that actually drives you — so the how no longer feels like a mystery or a burden. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment. Let’s get to work. SECTION 1: WHAT A “WHY” ACTUALLY IS A why is not: - A slogan - A quote - A vibe - A personality trait A real why has three properties: 1. It costs you something 2. It outlasts your mood 3. It pulls you forward when comfort says stop Your why is the reason you are willing to endure discomfort without needing applause. Most men confuse: - Goals with why - Desire with commitment - Inspiration with direction A goal says: “I want this.” A why says: “I’m not willing to live without becoming who this requires.” That’s the difference. SECTION 2: WHY MOST MEN DON’T KNOW THEIR WHY Let’s strip the excuses. Most men don’t know their why because: 1. They inherited expectations instead of choosing meaning
