Sit alone or fly together?
When was the last time you travelled at 400mph?
That's the speed the commentator said the Red Arrows Jet was travelling at as it rose up through the clouds yesterday...
At a Royal Air Show.
They can go faster and reach 645mph.
That's even faster than I used to go around the one-way system in Maidstone town-centre...
In my bright red Renault Clio with gold alloys, when I was 18.
But yesterday was a great reminder about how...
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Because the pilot gets all the glory.
But people often forget the strong team of men who have...
Supported the mission to get the jet flying at such an incredible speed.
Yes, it's up to the pilot to navigate the sudden twists and turns...
(Just like us men in life)...
But if he has a problem or issue...
He doesn't try to fix it himself.
That's not his area of expertise.
Just like none of us are experts in everything.
He's confident that he can go to any one of the chaps in his team and say...
'Guys, there's an issue I need solving.'
Or...
'I want to go faster and I need your help.'
And if he does ask for help...
If he wants to improve his performance...
Or even get new and exciting ideas...
This is what is staring back at him.
About 80 men (and yes if you look carefully you will see 1-2 women in there).
All there to support him, push him, and challenge him...
As he navigates whatever comes his way.
So just for a second, flip that picture around...
Imagine each of those guys had a Whole Man Academy t-shirt on.
And we're all part of your network of men...
...that form a strong Unit.
Support each other to navigate any challenges.
Push each other to live a great life.
And have some cool experiences along the way.
Doesn't that sound good?
Cos that's what I am building here with our membership idea.
And being around experts yesterday at the very very top of their game...
Reminded me of how powerful it can be.
So, as promised...
This Friday I'll be setting out some exciting details about our membership.
But before then, on Wednesday I'll be sharing with a you...
A snippet of a big podcast that you will find super interesting...
And absolutely nailed WHY what we are creating...
Can and will be so powerful...
To a certain type of man.
Look out for that...
And I'll leave you with a picture of my two eldest sons at the show.
They love the Red Arrows and were jumping with excitement to see them doing stunts in the sky above.
But boys, just like men... don't want to sit and watch all day.
They want to get involved.
Get in on the action.
So we went and found an attack helicopter where they could try on the pilot's crash helmets.
It's moments like this that boys will remember forever.
Catch you Wednesday
And remember, the world needs strong men.
