In this episode, Jason and Gabe are joined by Frank Schwartz—also known as “Dark Helmet”—from F3 Nation, a grassroots movement built around fitness, fellowship, and faith.

Frank breaks down what F3 is all about, how it started, and why it’s not just another workout group. With a decentralized model, no sign-ups, and absolutely no catch, F3 is on a mission to reinvigorate male leadership and connection in communities across the country.

They talk about:

[0:00] What is F3? Frank Schwartz joins the pod
[1:34] Fitness, Fellowship, Faith: The 3 Fs explained
[3:00] The surprising origin story of F3
[6:00] Nicknames, culture, and what makes it work
[7:24] The mission and the 5 Core Principles (including the “Circle of Trust”)
[10:28] What problems are men facing today?
[14:34] “There is no angle”—this is just about helping guys
[18:30] Scaling through decentralization: Would Frank change anything?
[21:30] You’re responsible for your life in a reactive world
[23:40] Why men miss the warrior stage—and how F3 helps them find it again
[26:50] Rituals and what actually happens at a meetup
[30:21] F3 names are earned (and yes, they’re meant to be insulting)
[35:05] “We leave no man behind, but we leave no man where we found him”
[37:10] Meetups happen anywhere… and everywhere
[40:00] Take this as your sign to join a group
[42:00] “When a man is awakened, he is an unstoppable force”

This is one of those conversations that reminds us: showing up is the first step—and it doesn’t cost a thing.
