If you've been with us for a while, you've undoubtedly seen or heard the phrase, "Lead From The Front". This is a phrase that was first introduced to me by one of my mentors, Zach Even Esh. He used it in several contexts, but it ended up being far more than just a phrase to me. I adopted it as a mantra and applied it as a way of life.

I'm not going to sit here and spell it out for you. It's such a simple and perfect idea that it deserves to be left untouched...un-f*cked with. It would also be silly for me to inadvertently influence your understanding of "Lead From The Front" with mine.

All you really need to understand is that this is part of what makes TCS such an awesome place to be a part of. The people busting their ass on the floor day in, and day out, apply this idea - whether they know it or not.

In fact, the inspiration for this post was not some amazing act of athleticism or human performance, but something vastly more important and profound. The inspiration for all of this is an image that was caught during the Women's Only Friday Night SWOD.

Take a second to really look at this picture. This is what "Lead From The Front" is all about.

A strong, powerful woman providing an amazing example for her daughter. LEAD FROM THE FRONT.
