News of the F3 Nation September 3

The F3 10-Year Anniversary Convergence Weekend is October 8-10 hosted by F3 Cape Fear (Wilmington, NC). The Nation needs your help. We have just over a month to go and we need 100 more PAX to sign up to meet the financial commitments we made with the venues in Wilmington. To incentivize this ask:

We have dropped the registration fee to $175
There's now an option to donate for someone else to go if finances are an issue
Which means sponsorships are available if you need them

Do you have what it takes to be a Cadre for future GrowRuck Training Events?

As the Nation continues to grow, the GTE Team is in need of new Cadres. CSPAN sat down with Cadre Daniel on the Roundtable Podcast (click the image to listen) to discuss the need, requirements, and application process for the upcoming Cadre Training Academy 001. Take a listen then complete the application (linked below). The application window is from 27 AUG 2021 to 29 OCT 2021.

Candor (Q3.8)

Graciously Telling The Hard Truth And Demanding To Hear It From Others

While there are many Truths, only the hard ones require Candor. The easy Truths take care of themselves. Whether a Truth is hard or easy depends upon the effect it has on the person hearing it. If it has no impact or brings them Happiness it is an easy Truth. Telling a passenger that their flight is on time is an easy Truth. So is the fact that they have been upgraded to first class.

Easy Truths do not require character to tell because there is no particular Virtue in being the bearer of good news. Anybody can do it and most people do. Hard Truths are different, because hearing them results in Pain and Disruption rather than Happiness. Nobody wants to tell passengers that their flight is delayed or cancelled or that a loved one has died in a plane crash. These are hard Truths that require Candor to tell. Being the bearer of bad news is the province of the Virtuous Leader, because he is the only one with sufficient character to do it.

F3 Nation hosts a trio of podcasts:
