Introduction
Last BD of the year at The Forge. Wanted to keep it simple but effective…the fact that we needed queue cards made YHC quickly realize it wasnt as simple as it was supposed to be. But, as usual, we made it work

Why Gas-o-rama?
Well, Gadget set a new world record for most SSH in a row accompanied by a fart. The record is now 9. Bellhop, still relatively new, looked like he wasnt supposed to fart during the Mary. YHC had it going during the run. It was windy so we were all spared the other PAX gaseous punishment.
YHC wanted to practice a little for the Q source he’ll be leading at the 1.1.2021 BD.
What is a mascot and why do you want to go Pro? Or why should you go Pro??
A mascot is that guy that buys the shoes, the shorts, the golf clubs and shows up the day of the race, match, competition…whatever. He wont put the work in to be fully prepared for the big day.
The Pro is the guy that has the equipment, but shows up to the driving range everyday and is ready to play on Saturday with the big boys. The Pro has the shoes, but is out there every day putting down the miles. On his race day, he knows what he can give up to win the race.
This translates to our everyday lives where we need to be leaders. Put the work in daily to establish how you want to lead, make sure those you lead know how you’re going to react when they need your leadership the most. Set the guard rails during your practice so the act of leadership is second nature during the crisis; so that you can modify as necessary depending on the situation without thinking about how to lead when the fate calls on you. And fate calls on you rarely at a time of your choosing, so always be ready, always practice, always be moving forward.
