Leadership Through the Lens: Tassels Zooms In on Brotherhood

Leadership Through the Lens: Tassels Zooms In on Brotherhood

SUMMARY

What do photography and leadership have in common? According to Tassels, everything. In this episode of the Glue-OOM Podcast, we sit down with a guy who’s usually behind the camera—capturing graduation day grins and caps in mid-air—but who’s also been quietly developing his own frame of leadership through F3 Omaha. Tassels opens up about starting his photography business from scratch, stepping up to lead in the gloom, and why a second invitation changed his life.

In this conversation you’ll hear about:

Launching a freelance business after the pandemic hit hard

The Boy Scout canoe trip that kicked off his F3 journey

What real leadership looks like before sunrise

How F3 provided brotherhood during his wife's cancer battle

Why showing up—even tired, even silent—can change lives

✅ Highlights:

📸 The story behind the name “Tassels”

🛶 Portaging gear = the wake-up call to get fit

💻 From remote work to real connection

🤝 Site‑Q, coffee convos, and the art of invitation

🧭 Leading with intention when life gets blurry

🗣️ Sound Bites:

“F3 gave me structure, but it also gave me perspective—like adjusting your focus.”

“Those guys were the first ones I told… when we got my wife’s cancer diagnosis.”

“Leadership isn’t loud. Sometimes it’s just showing up consistently.”

“Behind the camera, I see celebration. In the gloom, I see connection.”
