This is just the beginning. More to come.

I took an old photo of me back when I had green hair and I won our annual neighborhood Dad Next Door Father's Day Party (which later evolved into Dads of Tampa Skool Dad Skool) and told Meta AI to make it a short funny promo video for me for this Super Dad Contest I'm in because today they have 2 for 1 free votes going right now. And I'm still only in 3rd place. Meta turned me into this #streetfighter character that looks like a Puerto Rican John Cena with an English accent. ... I'm not mad at this, I actually kinda like it in its own silly way. My point? 1. AI can be pretty fun sometimes to spark your imagination, and.. 2. Go vote for this green goofball (me) today and get DOUBLE THE VOTING POWER before you forget, do it now! 😁 https://yoursuperdad.org/jason-centeno-PTsT Happy Saturday! Go do something silly, it's good for ya.

**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** Hey. Not fellas. Not Pack. Just... hey. I want to talk to the guy who opened this email and almost didn't. The one who's been on the list for a while but hasn't shown up yet. The one who thinks this is probably cool for other dads but maybe not for him. I see you. Being a dad is the most important thing most of us will ever do. And somehow it's also the thing we get the least support for. Nobody checks up on you. Nobody asks how you're holding up. You just keep showing up - for work, for the kids, for everybody else - and somewhere in there you stopped showing up for yourself. That's why this exists. Not for the guys who have it figured out. For the ones who are still figuring it out. Which, if we are being honest, is all of us. So here's what I want you to do this week. Just one thing. Pick ONE item below and show up for yourself. That's it. One thing. --- **Comedy Night - Sunday October 25th.** Laugh. You need it. We all do. Nestor put this together and it is going to be good. Tickets: https://ci.ovationtix.com/35579/production/1291587?performanceId=11869403 **Boat Excursion - Saturday October 24th.** Signup sheet dropping in the WhatsApp group this week. Get on it early. **Flavor Fest - November 5-8.** Urban Leadership Conference and Music Festival. Use the 20% discount code DADSKOOL and come experience something bigger than your usual Saturday. Tickets: https://www.flavorfest.org/ **Ditches to Riches Book Club - 3-4 in so far. We would like to start this together soon but need 6-7 more to start** This one is for the dad who wants more and knows it. Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/Ditches-Riches-Climbing-Despair-Success/dp/1732940096 - then tell me you have it and I will add you to the group. Cost to join when we have a date: $20 non-members / $10 Premium / Free for VIP and Legacy members.

Catch up from the week and new plans,

**DADS OF TAMPA SKOOL** Big week. Lot of things moving. Let's get into it. **First: Pirate Bus Tailgate - we had a BLAST.** If you missed it, here's what it looked like: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6BKWAt8-a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== We will definitely be doing something like this again. **Second: Super Dad Contest - keep voting.** We have passed two tiers and we are now heading into the third round. We keep bouncing between second and third so do NOT let up. Vote once a day right here: https://yoursuperdad.org/jason-centeno-PTsT Tell your wife. Tell your kids. Tell the guy next to you at the grocery store. **Third: First Friday - THIS FRIDAY.** Monthly get together, same deal as always. BYOB, snacks, cards, dominoes, good company.
