Pushed limits deep into the night in Williamson County—launching from Tower

Park, men were challenged to carry full-length telephone poles over miles of hard ground. Midway through, a former Special Operations leader arrived unannounced, delivering a relentless grinder PT session that tested every ounce of grit the men had left.


On top of the physical suffering, participants received raw, unfiltered insight into the reality of growing up without a father, without a stable home, and without the anchors so many in society take for granted.

Took participants into the heart of downtown Nashville—navigating silent

cityscapes, team gear carries, and a brutal final workout led by a surprise Special Operations guest, just when the group thought it was over. According to Steve Norris, founder of 4:13 Strong: “This was the best Struggle event we’ve ever had.”

Built to Endure, Lead, and Transform

Forging Resilience Through Challenge

Every Struggle event calls men out of comfort and into challenge. From the streets of downtown Nashville to the darkness of Williamson County trails, each event builds on the last—combining relentless physical adversity with raw lessons on leadership, grit, and resilience.

At 4:13 Strong, everything rests on four guiding principles: Break the Mold. Trust the Process. Never Give Up. Be Brave. These words challenge men to step out of old cycles and into a new future built on integrity, resilience, and courage. They remind each participant that growth doesn’t happen in comfort—it comes through struggle, discipline, and accountability, lived out side-by-side in brotherhood
