What do Navy Seals, Marine Sergeants, guns, careers, and workshop hacks have in common? Extreme manhood, yes, and all were elements of the latest edition of The Drawing Room, held October 10, 2019. Eighteen manly men attended, and the evening got cookin’ with a low country shrimp boil that featured Shrimp Po-Boys and baked potato soup. We then sank our teeth into a full line-up of testosterone-infused topics that included:
- Book Report by Chad Lindon | 48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller
- Book Report by Dave Fenz | Extreme Ownership by two U.S. Navy SEAL officers, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
- How Do We Respond to Homelessness? by Steve Pruitt
- TurboTalk | Is Gun Control a Christian/Pro-Life Issue?
- Workshop Hacks by Dale Tolliver
- Your Bucket List
- Meet Sergeant Nathan Noble, special guest and business colleague of Jim Johnson
The topics of homelessness and gun control in particular inspired lively discussion and presented questions and food for thought that we may consider again during future Drawing Rooms.
A special salute goes out to U.S. Marines Sergeant Nathan Noble who kept the group entranced with the story of his military exploits around the globe. We thank him for his faithful service, and we appreciate his boss, Jim Johnson, for bringing him to meet our group.
Please feel free to leave comments on what stood out to you during the evening and on various resources that would be good follow-up for the topics discussed.
Next quarter’s gathering of The Drawing Room will be Thursday, January 9, 2020. Oorah!
