COT:
Khakis shared a message about life’s curve balls. Last night, he was thrown a curve ball when TC reached out to ask him to cover the Golden Spike QIC. Khakis wished TC a speedy recovery and adapted his evening to the curve ball he was thrown. Khakis encouraged the PAX to be ready for all pitches in life. Many great baseball players can hit a 95 MPH fastball but the major leaguers who have a long career can hit the nasty slider and the curveball. We don’t get to choose the pitches that are thrown to us in life! F3 better prepares men for the curve balls that are thrown in life.
