You Don't Need More Motivation w/ Tony Galati

What is a faith-first peer group and how can it help my leadership?
How can business coaching improve my family, fitness, and finances?
What are the benefits of joining a men's executive coaching or peer group?

This week on the MOI Podcast, we sit down with Tony Galati, Director of Three Summits Coaching by Men of Iron, to dig deep into how men can truly thrive in their faith, family, friendships, fitness, and finances. Tony shares his journey from iron rep to leader of an executive coaching ministry, explaining why Three Summits Coaching is designed for men who want to level up in all areas of life—not just the boardroom, but at home and within.

"Faith first" isn't just a slogan—Tony explains how peer groups and executive coaching sessions are structured to foster vulnerability, accountability, and real results in marriages, parenting, business, and spiritual leadership. Each session includes a practical scorecard on the Core 5 (faith, family, friends, fitness, finances), leadership training from experienced CEOs, and powerful issue processing that helps men identify and conquer their biggest obstacles. Not only do these groups help leaders grow, but every investment made directly supports Men of Iron's broader mission to equip men everywhere.

If you want to find godly friendships, learn to lead with integrity at work and home, or are hungry for growth as a man of faith, you don't want to miss this conversation with Tony.

If a man doesn't want a faith-first peer group, then this is not the peer group for him. Hey, welcome back to the Men of Iron Podcast. At Men of Iron, we want you to be a man who thrives in your core five. That's faith, family, friends, fitness, and finances. And everything that we make is to help you thrive in those areas. So if you would like to grow in any of those, you can check out the tools and resources we have available on our website, menofiron.org. We have devotionals just for you. We have small groups where you can help lead other men. And ultimately, we want every man to end up in our mentorship. That's our strong 27 mentorship that is built on the core five. If any of those things sound helpful to you, go check them out on our website. Uh today on the podcast, we're back with Tony Galati. He was here uh last week, talked a lot about his mentorship experience. He is the the OG or the the OP, the original protege. Uh so we're happy to have him. And uh welcome back, Tony. Yeah. Well, happy to be here. Uh today we're gonna take a little bit of time and dig into three summits coaching, which I'm excited to do. Um, we haven't on the podcast ever talked about three summits coaching, I don't think. Uh so this might be new to a lot of folks, uh, but you are the director of three summits coaching. Right. So last week you talked a lot about your mentorship experience. Uh, you talked about being the first iron rep. It was last year that you became the director of Three Summits Coaching. Um, talk to us a little bit about what that transition has been like for you. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:28

So um I guess we'll go back in how this came about. Yeah. So continuing from last week, we talked about how I was the iron rep and we talked about some of the resources we had. And one of the things I had mentioned was um executive coaching that we had in place that Garrett Barbush had started um before I came in. And I just really took a a liking to this. I once once Garrett moved on, I felt, well, someone has to take this over. And I was like, I asked, I said, can can this be part of my responsibility, as well as everything else I was doing as a rep. But um we went forward with that, and I just, I don't know what it was. I think it's uh just like I talked about last week about coaching. I've always had coaching and motivating guys and encouraging guys as part of something that's my DNA. So when I heard that he had this executive coaching that was going, I started showing up at the meetings and the dinners. I started talking to some of the guys, getting to know some of the coaches, and I'm like, this is this is amazing. I love this. So I had almost like a hybrid kind of position where I was doing rep type responsibilities, but also given the time to develop the coaching a little bit. Well, over the years, it just became it started growing and it be started working and it started becoming really exciting. And then we started to realize this can grow. And uh, you know, you and I had some conversation about, hey, you know, is this something like you'd you'd want to continue doing? I said, this is really all I want to continue doing. And I'm grateful that you gave me that opportunity because I I moved from an iron rep into the the position of director. And now I could focus all of my time on three summits coaching. So again, starting uh to to describe what it was basically is we have some amazing men in our network. Majority are CEOs, just extremely successful men of faith, that is number one of faith, that run very successful businesses and have that same DNA that they want to coach another man. So we talked about Strong27. I like to say that Strong27 is your every man mentorship program. Anyone could do it, very low cost. You buy books. Like that's all that is. And that's every man should be involved in that. Now you get a man that's like, hey, um I'm thinking about starting my own business, or I want to move up in my job, or I can't I want to balance my family time and my and my and my uh work time, and I'm struggling, and they want a faith-first business coach. And that's what an executive coach is. So these executive coaches can relate to these men because they've been there, but they've achieved some things that these other men are wanting to achieve. So that is something we ran for a couple of years just as executive coaching, and it was very successful. And uh then you and I had a conversation one day and I was like, well, what about you know, peer groups? Like, if if I'm gonna do this more often, what else can we do? And I said, Well, I feel like we can do peer groups, and peer groups would be uh maybe for possibly a man that's like, I think I want an executive coach, but I'm not 100% sure. But what I really do need is I need to be in a room with a bunch of other Christian men that are in the place I am in a in a business, you know, uh environment and position that can help me get where I want to get, faith-wise and business-wise. And this started offering now another spot. We had the executive coaching, now another resource was the peer groups. The peer groups took off, the peer groups were amazing, and the peer groups just keep growing. So, right now, as we decided to make it three summits coaching. And I think one of the best things we did was name that three summits coaching by men of iron. It's obviously by men of iron, but it helps me and it helps other people understand that hey, the this is what we offer the everyman mentorship and all these free resources and very small investment. And then we have this for a man who wants to go forward in his business, and it's for that man to decide what resource he needs. Hey, this is Tony Galati, director of Three Summits Coaching by Men of Iron. If you're looking to excel in business or leadership, we have one-on-one coaching and peer groups. Email me to find out more. It's Tony G at menofiron.org.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

I would uh I'd I'd throw a little add-on in there. Um, we have had some pastors involved in those groups. So it's not necessarily just business, it's it's probably leadership.

SPEAKER_01 6:40

Leadership would be a good way to explain it as well, yes.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

Um, you're throwing a couple of terms around. So let's let's dive into a couple of those, make sure everybody understands them. So when you say executive coaching, um, for somebody that's been around Men of Iron for a long time, we talk about mentorship all the time. We don't necessarily talk about coaching and certainly not executive coaching all the time. So help me, the audience, understand what we mean when we say that.

SPEAKER_01 7:05

Okay. So I I think it's easy, just like we say men of iron and three summits by men of iron, that helps distinguish the two sides. Well, I like mentor and coach as well, just personally. Um I feel like a mentor is the everyman mentorship. A coach is something that's gonna require a little bit of a financial investment to get a coach. And that's what makes the difference between the strong 27 and going into the executive coaching. The difference is the coach. So um, if you have a man, I I guess I I use Brian Zemer a lot. Sure. Uh, you know, he's with Utility Keystone, developed that business. Uh, his experience in the business world is, you know, unsurpassed. He's amazing. And he does not have the time really to give to someone else. However, if that time is helping men of iron, he and he will give that time to a client that would like to be coached by him. Which in turn allows us to take that investment that that client gives and put it back into men of iron and do the amazing things that we do that we would normally lose money on, as a ministry does. Right.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Yeah, that's what that's what's really interesting is that when you invest in a coach, um, you do get targeted time with a fairly successful individual every time. Um, and the investment that goes into that coaching helps us reach more men in more places. And so it is like it is a hundred percent gonna help you as a leader grow in your faith and your leadership. It's also going to help us at Men of Iron to reach more men in more places, which is a big goal that we have over the next several years. Like, how can we establish more regions? How can we engage more men? Um, because ultimately that's how we change a culture one man at a time. So three summits coaching um really helps us move the mission forward while still doing the thing that is the mission. So, like we're going to invest well in men, um, we're gonna set goals, we're gonna hold people accountable. Uh, it is a higher level of leadership that three summits of coaching is for. Um, but it helps us, you know, expand our reach and invest well in every man. Yeah. Yeah. Um you said we've been doing it for a bit.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

Um how long has that been going on? Well, you know, three summits coaching just got the name recently, but when I came in, we were doing executive coaching. So I feel like we were doing it before I even got here. The new addition has been the peer groups. Um so that's more of a new resource we added. And what I love about the peer groups is we model it the same way with Men of Iron with having a mentor. So we have a CEO in every one of our peer groups. So that's our brand. That's our model. We have a man in that peer group that can now help mentor these other men coming up, and it just fits with everything that we do.

SPEAKER_02 10:02

And the the peer group is structured around the core five. Can you talk about that, some?

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yes. So I'll give you what a everyday peer group would look like. Um, so I send a survey out. It's I call it a scorecard. Yeah. And the first thing the guys will do is they'll go through and they'll say, one through 10, where are you in the core five, which is faith, family, friends, fitness, and finance. So they score themselves. Then the other thing they do on that survey is they say, Hey, I say, is there an issue that you would like to talk to? Now, when I first started, I really kept it as a business issue because it's a faith-first business group. But I have to tell you, I've learned something since the early years is that a lot of these guys were like, even though they were here for the business issue, they had personal things they wanted to talk about with these businessmen, with their peers. So one of them pulled me aside one day and said, Hey, can I share a personal issue? Or is this only business? I said, Yeah, absolutely. You know, I'm sorry for not making that more clear. Oh boy, does that just take the group to a whole another place? Because just like I talked about last week, one guy opens up, everybody opens up. When the group opens up and there's that trust that you can move forward. So I have those, I have the scorecard and we meet. Scorecard goes up on a PowerPoint for everyone to see in the group. And I like to keep the groups around 10 men. So if you could picture 10 men sitting around the table, their scorecard goes up. Faith, family, friends, fitness, finance, we see where they rank. And one of the things I like to do, I switch it up a little bit. I like to say, hey, what do you want to celebrate? Like, I see you're an eight in fitness. That's amazing. What's going on? You know, last month you were six. Like, what's what happened? What changed? Now you're also adding things to the group of what did that guy do to bring his numbers up? And how can he help someone else in that group that isn't there yet? So we go through that, I'd say, like, for the first hour. After we talk about what you want to celebrate, I'm gonna point out, well, talk to me about that too. You know, I'm not there to um judge someone, but I am there to motivate someone to move that to and find out what we can all do together to help that man raise that score up. And there's vulnerability there, and the man will say, Well, look, I'm just not doing this. I know I should be doing this. And what do you think comes into play? Okay, well, what action do we have to take to move that score? And that action is gonna be a smart goal that we're gonna make. And now you have the accountability, accountability of the entire group. That's powerful. Like these guys are texting each other. That's powerful. This guy will accomplish that goal, or else he wouldn't be in that group. So that is the first hour, I would say we go through that. Every man goes through that. Second hour, we'll have like a the leadership training. I usually have like a guest speaker that will come in and speak on a particular subject. Sometimes we'll run through the core five, the Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, Finance. But something we do now is before the guys start the group, they tell me what is what is a topic you'd like to discuss. So then I'll make sure someone's there to speak about that particular topic. So that may be like around 45 minutes. Um, that also ends with what can we do in this area to get better?

SPEAKER_03 13:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:17

Um, maybe maybe it's about productivity and disciplines, and guys are just struggling to get things done, and there's gonna be a plan. When that leadership session is over, there's gonna be a plan. You will move forward in that. The last session is probably the most popular one, which is issue processing. And that would be anything that these guys bring to me that they want to talk to the rest of the group about, but even more importantly, now having that CEO in the group that would help them, you know, talk through an issue that they're facing. Um, some of the issues I've seen I want to bring a partner on, I'm having a problem with my boss, um, I want to move to a different position, I want to open up my own business. There's just all these different things that these guys may face in the business world, but also in the in personally as well. So that that's their time to share an issue that they're having and then get feedback from the rest of the group as well as the CEO.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

What when you do the the scorecard, what kinds of things are you seeing? So my understanding is they're they're scoring one to 10 on Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, Finances. What kinds of things are you seeing that have surprised you? Or like what are common struggles?

SPEAKER_01 14:29

That's that's a good question. I think um friends surprises well, it stops surprising me. Yeah. I gotta say, it stops surprising. Because you see it enough that it's like, okay, yeah, guys just go like that. I don't really have any godly friends. And if they do, it might be like some guy that lives in a different state and they talk a couple of times a year. And the one thing I always say, um, it's interesting, these guys, they'll they score themselves pretty harshly sometimes. So I have to tell them, you know, like, hey, are you working on it? Is there something you're doing? So the one thing, you know, when you think of yourself, even if you're listening to this and you're thinking, where would I rate myself one to ten in my faith, family, friends, fitness, finance, it doesn't always mean if the situation is bad, your score's low. Right. It's what are you doing about the situation that dictates the score. So one of the things, uh, the friends, I say, look, you know, I I don't want you having 20 friends. You have one or two men in your life that you can go to and talk to about anything you need to talk to, and they're gonna lead you in a godly direction. That's all. That's all it's about. Now, some of them have even said, Well, I don't I don't even know where am I gonna find friends? Well, the peer group is is a great place because one of the other things we do in the peer groups is we do peer meetups. So these guys meet with each other throughout the peer groups, and now you got new friends you're making there.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

What kinds of wins have you seen? Like what is it worth it, I guess? Like what are you seeing that says, hey, this is actually something we should keep doing?

SPEAKER_01 15:58

I see a lot of uh men improving their marriages. Okay. Um, I hear a lot, you know, I don't really pray with my wife, I don't leave my kids well, I don't model what I'm telling them to do. You know, I take them to church, and that's pretty much it. Yeah. So what what we do is the men are very honest about that. Yeah. So we'll go through like, well, what do you feel? Again, what do you feel like God is telling you that you need to do with your family? And a lot of it does start with your wife. Like, are you praying together? And I gotta tell you, like, some guys like that is so uncomfortable. I don't even and I'm like, I get it. Everybody says that, but I'll tell you, it's one of those things when you try it and you do it, it'll surprise you how it's easier than you thought. Yeah. And again, now you're modeling this for your kids. Your kids are now seeing this, and this is bringing your, your, your family closer together. It the values that they're gonna bring in generations to come. And then another thing is I see guys that'll go, you know, I decided that after church I'm gonna take the kids home and I'm gonna talk. What did they learn in church? Because so many times, and I I'll be honest, I did this with my son. It's like we went to church and I was like, oh, church took care of it. Yep. And I didn't really say, Hey, what are you learning? And even challenge some things and and help and set aside that time. You know, we think sometimes that we take our kids to sports, you know, uh, I can relate to all these guys that, you know, their kids are in all these different sports, so they're running around all over the place. And that is great, right? It's it's it's a good thing. It's value, you're, you know, as long as you're doing it, you know, the right way. But are we putting that time into their faith? Like, are we, are we, are we putting that time, are we disciplining for that time? And I think that's something that we have to recognize and and maybe just uh look at ourselves, take inventory of that.

SPEAKER_02 17:47

Okay, so here's one of the things I was kind of excited to dig into in this episode is I bumped into it a couple times. So the way it usually plays out is like, what what is this? I heard about this three summits thing. It it seems like a distraction. It seems like something that Men of Iron should not be doing. Um, and I I would say it like it's enough that I was like, Tony, we should talk about this on the podcast. Um because I don't believe that. But I would love to hear you explain how this is not a distraction, how actually this is something that's really important.

SPEAKER_01 18:22

I do really have a hard time seeing how it's a distraction. So I'm gonna do my best to walk through that. Um I feel there are businessmen that wanna be in a room with other businessmen that want to be mentored by men of faith, which is what we do. We also just happen to have the network to do it. So to walk away from that just wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Now, for me, it's easy because it was being done before I got here. It's not like Tony dumped this thing up and it's uh working. No, it's Garrett started this executive coaching. I talked to the men in it. So that was part of my job is to stay in touch with these guys, be like, how's it going? How's your coaching going? I'm hearing these stories of how these guys' lives are changing. Lives are changing. And I'm excited and I just want to be part of it. And it just grew from there, basically. You know, the peer groups are almost like uh, hey, it makes sense. Why not? You know, the the mentorship, the coaching is the pinnacle, it's the summit. It's the top. It also requires the biggest investment. What about for the guy that's like, well, I just want to be in a room with those guys and maybe, you know, not there yet? Why would we not have something for them? So I feel if God has equipped us with something and it goes with our mission, I think it would be irresponsible not to do it. And the fruits are there to confirm that it's a great thing.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

It's been going really well. And it has been serving people really well. Um, I think one of another interesting thing that we should probably dig into is like, okay, we're not the first peer group in the world, right? And there's a lot of other peer groups in the world. Um why do we why should we jump into that space? Um what's that look like for us? Why is it valuable to us? And why is it valuable to our people?

SPEAKER_01 20:17

I would say that one thing that distinguishes us from others is the the being the faith first. That it like, so I've had men come and say, hey, look, you know, I just really want to excel in my business and not really interested in the spiritual part. It's like, well, this then let me refer you somewhere else, which is totally fine. And we have other people we work with happy to refer. I'm I want to do what's best for the man. If the man doesn't want a faith-first peer group, then this is not the peer group for him. So that's the one thing that would separate us from other peer groups is that we are faith first and that we focused on the core five, which is something that Men of Iron has developed that just works. As you know, 20 years ago worked for me. So I'm a believer, I'm proof, you know? And I've seen men come through this and I've seen the proof there as well. So I would say from that aspect, you have the proof of these guys coming out of it. You have the faith first peer group. One part about this that I love is that this is a donation. You know, so when men join this, it's a donation. And this donation goes toward our mission. Um so when I'm having these guys sign up for these peer groups, they want this. They come, they want this. They want the executive coaching. I say, hey, you probably don't realize this, but do you know what your investment is doing? I just got done leading a small group of police officers. We lost money on that. I I have no problem admitting that. We're a mission and and we are encouraged to, you know, be wise about the decisions we make, pray about the decisions we make. And follow the Holy Spirit on the decisions we make. And when you have a place that God is working and there's no money behind it, if we were to say no to that, I would not be behind this microphone right now because I would I wouldn't work for this organization. But I do because we do go after the things that God prompts us to do. And the changes in these men's life, police officers, absolutely, there's been miracles that I've seen in these small groups. And they need it. And hey, we're not, we're not men of iron that helps like an emergency and police departments. We're not set up for that. We help men. So wherever God is leading us to, to, to go, we're gonna go. And he opens doors. Uh last year was Fort Indiana Gap. You know, I drove down there to lead men, lost money on that. Nobody cared because guess what? God provided through the peer groups and through the coaching. Yeah. So these guys are getting 10 times their value of what they're spending for the peer groups and the coaching, but they need to understand what else their investment's doing.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

All of it's mission-centered. Like that's that's the thing. And the what's interesting is because it's built on the core five, it it's not like we spun up some whole different program that has nothing to do with what we've been doing for 20 years. It's actually directly connected. Yeah. Um, I I could imagine people that are used to listening to us could be like, well, isn't that what a man's game plan does? Like, isn't a man's game plan the same thing? Um, what's your what's your take on that?

SPEAKER_01 23:33

Uh it's just being around the different men. It's the men that you're around while you're while you're, you know, I would I would say like a man's game plan is usually like done in a church or a you know, a group, and it's for every man. Yep. Where the peer group is more for the faith first, but wants to is is investing to in their business. That's the difference. So when I'm sit across from a guy and he's like, I I'm fine with my business. I just want to get, you know, I just want to fine-tune my faith or tweak, you know. Well, then let's go to Strong 27, let's go to a man's game plan. But he's like, No, I've got some things coming up. I'm making some moves, and I need to talk to someone who's been there, but a Christian man who's been there. And that's why we offer three summits coaching.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

Let's let's dig into that value piece. Um how do you, how do you, the director of three summits coaching, how do you know that it is worthwhile for these guys that are doing it?

SPEAKER_01 24:33

I would just say from the results that I've seen. So what do you see? So yeah. So what one thing that we do, so there's a couple of things we do with that. Um, so whether it be the peer group or the coaching, I'm always meeting with these guys individually and seeing what are their needs, what else do they need? How are things going? And one thing that we offer, even in the peer group, is we're gonna allow you to speak with one of our executive coaching during this as part of the peer group. So this is a huge uh this is a huge thing that we offer with the with the uh peer groups is for them to sit with someone who's been there, done that. Now, this also at some point introduces them to one-on-one coaching and possibly they may go, hey, look, when I'm done with this peer group, that guy that I met with, I need to speak to him more. Yeah. I need more of this. So it in that it it it sort of flows organically into executive coaching. But if not, these guys just continue in the peer groups. That's good.

SPEAKER_02 25:31

Um, what's like this is kind of new. I mean, you're making the case. We've been doing this for a bit. I think we have a we have a structure around it that we haven't had really before. Um what's ahead for us? Like what's what are we excited about with three summits coaching?

SPEAKER_01 25:47

Well, we we made some changes, like adding the CEO into the group, which I I'm super excited about. So we got some guys from my table that have volunteered to become part of the peer group because they have a desire to give back. They're not looking to receive, they want to give. Yeah. And I'm like, this is such added value for these peer groups. This is great. Then we've also noticed that these guys come to the we we used to run the peer group for six months, and we decided, you know, we're just starting to gain momentum. These guys want to keep going. Why are we ending it in six months? And let's just not have an end date, you know. So I'm excited about that as well because I feel like there's so much growth that could take place over 12 months that maybe we were just hitting on in the in the initial six months. So those are some of the things I'm really excited about is the the switch in the the peer group. I feel like from when it started, it was amazing, worked great. I meet with every man and I say, Hey, what did you like? What didn't you like? You know, I'm surveying these guys and it's always good, good, good. But I always feel there's always room to improve. So that's why we made this this change that we made recently. And I'm really excited to have a CEO in the peer group. I think that's that's just bringing a value I didn't have before.

SPEAKER_02 27:00

I would think like you being a rep for several years. Um, is is it fair? Like you would have worked primarily with churches. Um, that is not true anymore. Is that correct? Yeah. So now you're working mostly with business leaders, um, whether they, whether they're owners or like higher level folks that are just in leadership positions. Um, talk to me about um like the the kingdom impact that's there. Because I could see people, I could see people looking at this being like, hey, look, God's gonna reach people through the church. Um sometimes people are a little bit more hesitant about like, no, actually, God's gonna reach people through business. Um that seems to be something that's growing. Yeah. Um talk about that.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Um that that that is that's a good point. I why would we leave businessmen out of the mix? Is it the is it that whole uh um when you talk about money and and the and the church, is it like that taboo subject? Maybe, maybe that's what comes to people's minds. But some of these men, I'm not saying they're all unchurched because they certainly aren't, but some of these men are on the move. Yeah. They need to be with other men that understand what the lifestyle is like. And what what we're teaching them is godly biblical principles, which is turning that to what are you doing with your finances? How are you, you know, that's one of our core five. So how are you investing your finances? Are you tithing to the church? Are you careful about where you're spending your money? These some of these men that I have had in these peer groups or through these executive coaching, they turn around and invest into the kingdom. And I'm not saying other people don't, but there is, there are some people that have a little bit more than others. And when you get that man on fire for God, and when you get that man in the direction of where God wants to take him, he could do so many things for the kingdom. I'm not talking about having to give it to men of iron for the kingdom, wherever that is that God's pointing them. It it shifts from a, I need to make all the money, I have to have security for my family, I've got to save it, I've got to hold it to I gotta give it, I gotta invest it, I gotta plant seeds. The these men are able to do that at levels that even I can't do. And, you know, I'm just I'm just thankful to be there as part of the plan, you know, to match these guys with coaches and to bring these coaches and to have these guys sit in front of men that could take them to levels they normally could not, ask questions that they normally could not find answers, you know. This is an it's it's an amazing resource for these men.

I think sometimes too, some of these guys in the peer group, some of these guys in coaching, they're leading staff teams of a hundred people. Yeah, absolutely. And so they they have an incredible opportunity to invest well uh in their people and ultimately to represent their faith well to their people. And I think we see organizations that really wear their faith on their sleeve.

SPEAKER_01 30:03

Absolutely. A lot lately. And and that is one of the subjects that come in to these peer groups is like, how do we, you know, you can't come out and say, hey, we're just gonna change. We are we are a Christian business, but can you have Christian values in your business? And I've had men come and go, yes, I want to do that. I'm scared to death to do it. I don't know what the pushback's gonna be. I don't even know how you start it. Well, I've got a couple of different companies that do it. Let me let me set up a meeting and they could show you. I can't, I don't have that experience, but I could put you in front of somebody that does and does this successfully and has changed the culture of their whole workplace because of it.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

One of the things that we've seen as you've been doing this and as it's growing and impacting more people is that people go through the peer group or they get a coach, and then all of a sudden they're asking, hey, what what can I guess men of iron, what can three summits do for my organization? Um, and you're in conversations with those folks about that.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

What's that look like? I gotta tell you, that's another door that's opening after the peer groups. If we have organizations coming to us and say, I want to invest in my employees, why do they want to invest in their employees? If their employees are living a faithful life and and their employees are seeking God and uh establishing spiritual disciplines, that comes into work. That changes the workplace, that gives you a more productive employee and they see it. And they continue to send men because it's working.

SPEAKER_02 31:33

That's very cool. Uh, is there is there anything else that you want to highlight about three summits? I know you're passionate about it, I know you're excited about it. Is there anything else you want to make sure people are aware of?

SPEAKER_01 31:42

I would just say the easiest way to get involved, other than just, you know, reach out to me and I'll just meet you for coffee and we could just talk about it and see if it is for you. How do they get a hold of you? I'd say just send me an email, Tony G at menofiron.org. And I'll get back to you, we'll grab some coffee, answer your questions, pray about it, decide what God has for you. And you could even sit in an on a peer group if you'd like. So we could set that up. Just reach out to me. Okay. Uh anything else that you want to make sure people are aware of? Um, just thank you for everyone who's been part of it because it's advancing the kingdom. And um, it's just been fun to be part of this. And um, yeah, just reach out if you have any questions. Love to talk to you.

SPEAKER_02 32:22
