Denver is a big city! Pods are how we make sure men get connected with other men locally so they can make an impact in the neighborhood where they live. Each pod has a 2nd F Q or a 3rd F Q, or both. These Q's are leadership positions. Pods are not associated with workouts locations. Pods form whenever there are enough men in proximity to warrant enhanced communication and coordination. A pod is officially created when one man in that area steps up as either the 2nd or 3rd F Q.

2nd F Q - Responsible for organizing social events in their pod to foster fellowship. Examples of events are: lunches, happy hours, Christmas parties, getting guys together to help someone move a couch.

3rd F Q - Responsible for organizing community service events to increase the positive impact the pod has on their neighborhood. Examples of events are: volunteering at a soup kitchen, park cleanup, fundraising, shoveling snow.

Intra-Pod Communication: to facilitate fellowship and communication with each pod, dedicated channels are set up in Slack. Each channel starts with "#pod_". For each pod, there can be one Slack channel for 2nd F and one for 3rd F.

Inter-Pod Communication: It is expected that 2nd and 3rd F Qs from different pods stay connected to foster a cohesive region. They should collaborate where it makes sense. Men can participate in as many pods as they want. Q's can even set up friendly inter-pod competitions to drive involvement.

Calendar: All non-standard workout events, regardless of which pod they are associated with, can be found on the Calendar.
