Beyond The COT is the podcast that tells the story of F3 Knoxville through the lens of the high-impact men that make up the region. When the COT (Circle of Trust) ends after every workout, the real work begins. #IronSharpensIron

In the first episode of Beyond The COT of 2025, Steam brings you an overview of the 2025 F3 State Of The Nation, in which the Nation’s leadership team shares the vision and plan for this year. You can watch the whole thing (about 1 hour) on YouTube here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqANA7XEIwQ)
This is not the first time that Steam has introduced a powerful AO tool on the show - Google NotebookLM. (https://notebooklm.google/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA-fwSscC4DzDMgo1ZHnDORSS2_DFa&gclid=Cj0KCQiAv628BhC2ARIsAIJIiK-UviHvIEp4N-wRjvyk4ld71CscOX17tbgflRdhHbbEhXvUqos_TMkaAki2EALw_wcB)By simply sharing the F3 State Of The Nation YouTube URL as source material, it generated a podcast-quality overview (called a Deep Dive) in just a few minutes. It’s pretty incredible.
So, whether you watch the full video on YouTube or listen to this podcast episode and the Deep Dive (you should do both), you will be challenged and encouraged about where you are in your leadership development journey right now. The future of F3 is incredibly bright - as thousands of men around the globe continue to live out the mission of planting, growing, and serving small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

2024 Leadership Survey
Steam brings some perspective and “the why” behind the 2024 F3 Knoxville Leadership Survey.
Earlier this week, our Regional Direction Team (RDT) consisting of F3 Knoxville’s Nantan (Mermaid), Weasel Shaker (Pele), Comz Q (Steam), 1st F Q (Butterknife), 2nd F Q (Eliza), and 3rd F Q (Borg) sent out the 2024 Leadership Survey. There are three primary reasons for sending this out:
* To identify and better understand the leadership development needs and desires of PAX in F3 Knoxville.
* Once we identify the leadership development needs and desires of PAX in F3 Knoxville, we, in partnership with the SLT (Shared Leadership Team) can more purposefully articulate and create LDP opportunities for our region.
* Once #1 and #2 happen, we can more effectively empower PAX in the region to step into leadership roles, strengthening the leadership culture and process. Great leaders are always strategically working themselves out of a job, paving the next 43 feet of road in front of them for the next man.
You can find the survey + more information by checking out the #announcements channel in the F3 Knoxville Slack workspace or emailing f3knox@gmail.com.
