Plummet at the Summit Part 2: Bungee Bungee Bungee

June 28, 2011 By Joel Runyon 34 Comments

  About a month ago, I was minding my own business, finalizing some things for the massive skydiving trip I was organizing when I got a message from Mark Powers. He wanted to know if I wanted to go bungee jumping with him a few friends the Monday following WDS. Bungee Jumping. Off a perfectly good bridge with no structural problems whatsoever. "Oh" he added, "it's also the highest bungee spot in the US." I usually would give more weight to a ...

Plummet At The Summit: The Very Unofficial WDS Skydive Adventure

June 24, 2011 By Joel Runyon 32 Comments

The Very Unofficial WDS Skydive Adventure When I announced back in January my crazy idea to jump out of a plane at the World Domination Summit in Portland, I only knew one person that was going to go. Me. I thought I would get some interest via the blog, but figured that I might be able to get 10-15 people to sign up and come with me. That would be a very manageable amount of people and after all, I was asking people to spend $200 to to fall 13,000 feet to ...

People Are What You Expect Them To Be

June 21, 2011 By Joel Runyon 34 Comments

I know a guy, let's call him Phil, whose mantra is “people are stupid.” He goes around saying it all the time. Anytime someone disagrees with him or doesn’t fully buy into what he’s saying, instead of going back and examining what he said, he just repeats his mantra “people are stupid”, complains about them for a bit and moves on with his life. To be fair, when I spent a lot of time with Phil, I did tend to see a lot of stupid people, but I can’t help but ...

Cultivating Wonder: The Origins of The Impossible

June 16, 2011 By Joel Runyon 40 Comments

Two weeks ago, my friend Nate and my brother Justin piled into a car and headed to Portland, Oregon. Over the next fifteen days, we spent countless hours in the car, saw monument after monument, jumped out of a plane and off a bridge and clocked over 7,000 miles on the odometer of my car. While we knew that driving was the "scenic" route, I don't think any of us expected to actually see some of the scenes we saw. Glacial lakes, snow-covered mountains ...

The Best Reason To Attend A Conference

June 9, 2011 By Joel Runyon 23 Comments

Greetings From Lake Tahoe Nevada. After sneaking into Mt. Rushmore, we managed to drive through Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. After driving through the Colombia Gorge and spending a massively awesome weekend at the much tweeted about World Domination Summit in Portland, we're not onto the second half of the Road Trip where we'll be visiting Las Vegas, Tahoe, Cool Rock Formations and more. If you're somewhere in between any of the stops, let us ...
