Episode #449 Men of Peace Intensive

Traditionally, men of peace, the clumsiest part of men of peace is landing the plane.

And what I mean by that is when men of peace wraps up historically, in fact, I do not recall ever having a group where the majority of the guys said, I'm glad this is over.

the majority of the guys try to find a way to stay connected.

They try to find a way to keep going.

And the sentiment is always, we just need a little bit more time, a little bit more information, a little bit more direction.

What else could we do? How else could we do this? How could we do it better? And honestly, for me, it's always been a matter of we can't afford it.

And this year, I think something just clicked in me, and I know I'm being personal.

I'll get to the questions here in a minute.

But something just clicked.

It was like, if it's the best thing for the group, then we just need to do it.

We just need to figure out how to do it.

So we stepped out.
