**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** This one's a little late but worth the wait. Let's get into it. **First: Friday August 7th - The Dad NOTworking Party.** 🥂 Our regularly scheduled First Friday is getting an upgrade. Instead of the clubhouse, we're taking it to the **Pool Bar at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.** August 7th. Come ready to toast - accomplishments, birthdays, wins, whatever you've been carrying around that deserves a moment. We're celebrating all of it. And bring another dad. Someone you've been meaning to introduce to this thing of ours. This is the perfect night for it. Invite links will be sent out soon. **Second: Spider-Man Brand New Day - Sunday August 16th.** 🕷️ Movie starts at 2 PM. Be there by 1:45. We have 20 tickets and they will go. Grab yours here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/spider-man-brand-new-day-private-screening **New paid member?** Pick up any annual membership (Gold or Black Card) and you get TWO FREE TICKETS. That's our thank you for investing in the Pack. Check membership options here: https://www.skool.com/dad-skool/plans **Third: Last week was lowkey dadnificent.** Two last-minute pop-ups: - 🥊 **Conor McGregor Fight** - about 9 of us showed up. Great time. - 🎰 **Casino Night with Manny** - free drinks, free appetizers, and we walked away with Hard Rock pool day passes. We're going to use those for a Pack hangout soon. Stay tuned. **Fourth: Alternative First Fridays are coming.** We're in talks with Bo, one of our own dads who owns **Mango Space** here in Tampa. Virtual golf, poker, and rotating locations so the drive is fairer for more of you. More details soon. **Fifth: All events are now on the Skool Calendar.** Add it to your personal calendar and you'll never miss a thing. It's all in there. **Tonight: Monday Night Call - 7 PM.** Come with questions, ideas, or just to see some familiar faces. Link: https://www.skool.com/live/cbR28zV4rDW

That was DEFINITELY a good time last night, fellas! 50+ dads out running with the Pack, and somewhere out there a few new wolves are about to smell the smoke and come find us. In the meantime, here's a few pics to hold you over. If you were there and snapped anything good, drop it in the album so we can put together a highlight video down the road.

Today is Father's Day. Here's what I actually want Tampa Bay dads to hear. Not the card version. The real version. Being a father of six while building multiple things at once means I spend a lot of time in the gap between the dad I want to be and the dad I actually show up as on any given day. Some days the gap is small. Some days it's wide enough to bother me. What I've learned - slowly, and not always gracefully - is that the gap isn't the problem. Pretending it doesn't exist is. The dads I respect most in Tampa Bay aren't the ones who have it figured out. They're the ones who keep showing up even when they don't. Who come back after the long day. Who say sorry when they got it wrong. Who build things not just for themselves but for the kids watching them do it. That's what Dad Skool is for. Not to make perfect fathers. To make sure Tampa Bay dads don't disappear into their work, their stress, or their silence without a community around them. Happy Father's Day to every dad out there doing the work - even on the days it doesn't feel like enough.
