I helped today for @F3Metro runners. I am concerned that my amigos and amigas at Latinos Run were afraid to hang out. When did running a race become where we are today?

R U Core Curious? Maybe you are hurt? Maybe you like to talk while working out? Maybe you are over 55? Maybe you just want to lead the pack? Check out a Core Workout in @F3Metro. They aren't that easy.

Finished listening to "Wisdom Takes Work" by @RyanHoliday. Great book. The motto of the Merchant Marine Academy is "Acta Non Verba". Wisdom is knowing, without action to do what is right, it is worthless.

The gales of November have come early. Tonight will be a tough night for our neighbors without a home in Charlotte.

Somehow, my Junior year at the US Merchant Marine Academy, a US Marine Corps Gunny Sgt became our Company Officer. On the 250th anniversary of the US Marine Corps, I'd like to thank Gunny Sgt Kommer for the leadership lessons I learned from him. @USMC @UsmmaO

Healthcare. Is it a battle worth fighting for? As a teenager, I was sick & not getting better. We didn’t have health insurance & my parents waited to take me to the Dr, my mom took me to the Dr & I had Pneumonia. I survived. How many kids don’t?

I am really enjoying @RyanHoliday new book "Wisdom Takes Work". It really does take effort and doesn't happen by accident. Reading and learning are something all great leaders do, and understanding that you aren't the smartest person in the room.

Scenius describes perfectly what we do at @F3QSource each week. We get better together than we could doing it solo. @dailystoic @RyanHoliday
