Key Ideas:

• Managing blood glucose is not only important for health and longevity, it impacts athletic performance in real time
• Wearing a CGM provides access to the raw data needed to manage glucose via diet, feed schedule, activity
• For athletic performance, keeping blood glucose in the high performance zone means no bonking or premature fatigue.

• Hunter's Coaching Website -- PeaksCoachingGroup.com
• CGM Book Website - TrainingandCompetingwithaCGM.com

• Discover how and why seeing your continuous blood glucose with a CGM in real time will give you an edge in your sport with the ability to:
• Optimize the timing of nutrition intake (for exercise, for sleep…?)
• Determine the correct serving of foods to positively impact energy levels
• Understand the proper type of foods to use to “prime” your system before training or an event (“top off glycogen stores” without causing hypo-glycemic rebound?)
• Recognize patterns of poor nutrition and correct them (food combos, volume of fast carbs)
• Learn your blood glucose highs and lows throughout the day to correct them for better glucose stability (why correct them?)
• And so much more

Frank Schwartz, known in the F3 community by his nickname "Dark Helmet," serves as the CEO (referred to as "Nant’an") of F3 Nation. F3 Nation is a free, peer-led movement designed to help men get fit, build bonds of friendship, and learn how to join forces to serve the community. As Nant'an, Frank leads the strategic vision and cultural stewardship of F3, which has grown into a global network supporting thousands of men across the U.S. and internationally.

Frank’s F3 journey began like so many others: a early morning workout, a goofy nickname, and a gut-level recognition that something life-changing was underway. Since then, he’s become a guiding voice in shaping F3 Nation: 100's of independently operating chapters around the USA and the World. He’s all-in on helping men become what they always wanted to be.

Key Ideas:

• If you change a man, you change the world
• Leave no man behind; leave no man where you found him
• No rules; only principals to guide men remaking themselves

1. Why is this happening…this lack of close friends among men?
2. What is the effect of not having good friends?
3. Is a close friend for a man the same as a close friend for a woman?
4. How does F3 work? What are the rules and methods that have been stolen and honed to craft the experience that served men? Why does it work so well, and I speak from personal experience.
5. What is to be gained from a men’s group like F3? Starting or joining one? What is the stair-step of benefits that are available to men who participate, who maybe are just looking for fitness, but if they want to change their lives more profoundly, they can get much more than mere fitness.

• Do you feel like you are drifting through life always waiting on something?
• Do you feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled?
• Is time flying by?

Drawing from his experiences as a solicitor, entrepreneur, and sports coach, Kelly examines the skills essential for overcoming challenges and achieving sustained success. Adrian joins me to discuss how to shift into living a big life, rather than merely a long one. Adrian says:

• Most of us don’t just want simple happiness; we want intensity. We want to feel that sense of existential urgency we get when we are engrossed in some meaningful project, when we know you are doing something important and good.
• Link to Amazon: Success Factor

Adrian Kelly’s Success Complex explores the hidden emotional and psychological burdens that often accompany outward success, especially for men. It challenges the traditional view that success—defined by wealth, career, and achievements—automatically leads to happiness. Instead, Kelly argues that many high-performing individuals are silently struggling with stress, disconnection, and a lack of purpose.

• Connection: A feeling of being linked to a higher power, nature, or the collective human experience.
• Purpose and Meaning: An ongoing quest to understand one's role and significance in the world.
• Transcendence: Experiences that go beyond the ordinary, often described as profound or mystical
• Inner Peace: Cultivating a sense of calm and contentment through practices like meditation, mindfulness, or prayer.

1. The Illusion of Success -- Success is often externally validated—money, titles, status—but it can mask deep dissatisfaction, anxiety, or emotional repression. Many men achieve success only to find it unfulfilling.
2. Performance-Based Identity -- Men often tie their self-worth to performance. When they stop achieving or face setbacks, they feel worthless or lost.
3. Emotional Suppression -- A major cost of the “success complex” is emotional disconnection. Men learn to suppress vulnerability, which leads to isolation and strained relationships.
4. The Masculine Mask -- the “mask” successful men wear to appear confident, in control, and stoic. Behind it, many feel burned out or uncertain.
5. Breaking the Pattern -- Healing begins by questioning the cultural narrative around masculinity and success. This includes:
   • Reconnecting with emotions
   • Seeking genuine relationships
   • Redefining success through internal values rather than external metrics
6. Authentic Living -- shift from achievement-driven living to values-driven living—embracing meaning, connection, and self-awareness.

• Activity (A): Engaging in purposeful actions…a means to an end
• Balance (B): Maintaining equilibrium between various life aspects.
• Congruence (C): Aligning actions and values to achieve a state where success is both sustained and sustaining
