    Building Confidence the Hard Way: Service, Consistency, Accountability

    Summary In this episode of The Glue-OOM, I sit down with Smelly Cat (Chris Lantzer), a guy I’ve known for years through family ties and the Omaha brotherhood. What makes his story hit isn’t that he’s the loudest or flashiest leader in the room, it’s that he’s the kind of man who keeps doing the work when nobody’s watching. Smelly Cat shares how F3 pulled him out of drift, rebuilt his confidence through service, and gave him a crew when life got busy and friendships got thin. We dig into leadership from the back of the pack (picking up the six), the discipline required to keep showing up at 5:30am when you’re not a morning person, and how being a business owner messes with your mind during slow seasons. This one is funny, honest, and surprisingly deep. If you’ve ever felt tired, stuck, or unsure if you’re really leading well, this conversation will hit home. ✅ Highlights ✅ How Smelly Cat got his name (Phoebe from Friends) ✅ First F3 beatdown at The Maze, and getting smoked by Merkins ✅ “I’m not a morning person” and how 5:30am changed him ✅ Quiet leadership, building confidence through service ✅ The B Street Crew: brotherhood before brotherhood was trendy ✅ Starting a business and pushing through doubt in slow seasons ✅ Concentric impact: becoming more involved with kids + school ✅ Faith journey: first time praying out loud was in F3 ✅ Leadership lessons from VQ + taking the flag at Main Stage ✅ “Pick up the six” vs bring the six forward (the real mission) Sound bites “When does it start? … 5:30 in the morning. I said you’re crazy.” “I did 15 Merkins… then I couldn’t even get down to do one.” “The only thing I know about massage therapy is Phoebe from Friends… you’re Smelly Cat.” “My daughter said, ‘Dad, you used to not have many friends… now you have a lot.’” “I knew I was in shape when I could survive one of Plague’s workouts.” “The diet thing never really happens.” “The first time I ever said a prayer out loud in a group was F3.” “When you’re self-employed and it gets slow… you start doubting yourself.” Timestamps 00:03 – Intro at The Nomad (Elkhorn) 01:20 – Smelly Cat joins the show 02:45 – How he found F3 through Long Neck 04:55 – The 5:30am barrier (not a morning guy) 06:55 – First beatdown at The Maze (Merkins, humbled fast) 09:10 – Name-o chaos: massage therapist → Smelly Cat 11:20 – The Smelly Cat callback: “What are they feeding you?” 12:50 – How he got into massage therapy (accidental start) 16:55 – Massage vs chiropractic vs PT (real differences) 23:35 – Insurance, cash practice, and how he helps PAX 27:30 – Active Wellness Massage Therapy (how to find him) 29:25 – Athlete → drift → getting back into shape 33:20 – Cholesterol/triglycerides + lab check curiosity 35:10 – Diet struggle + pizza problem 36:55 – Fellowship + the “B Street Crew” neighborhood culture 39:10 – “Dad… you used to not have friends.
