COT: Today is the beginning of Folsom’s Five Year Anniversary week. For those 5 years, I have to thank the men with me today. I have to thank all the men who have been with me every day since the beginning. I have to thank the men, I have yet to meet. I give them thanks for making me a better man. As I looked forward to this week and reflected on my 5 years of F3 a cliché came to mind, “Good things happen to good people.” Before F3 I wasn’t always a good person. I did some shady shit. After spending so much time surrounded by good men, I’ve become a good man myself, or at least a better man. That has led to lots of good things happening to me. My relationships with everyone most important to me have really improved. My kids and I are closer than ever. I have the best relationship I’ve ever had with a woman with my girlfriend now. We just bought our dream house! Good things happen to good people.
Aye- Folsom
