About the guest: Frank Schwartz, Nant'an (CEO) of F3 Nation

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 Discussion Points:

  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.
