How to Make More Good Choices

June 27, 2012 By Joel Runyon 14 Comments

I just got off the plane from Amman, Jordan where the Jordan Tourism Board invited Sean Ogle and I to spend the week adventuring around the country. In the last 7 days, we've crammed more amazing experiences and stories than I'll be able to tell for quite some time. If you want them all, you'll have to track me down in person at WDS, but over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing them both here and on Sean's Blog - Location180, but first I want to talk ...

Jordan Seems Like An Adventure

June 19, 2012 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

By the time you're reading this, I'll be on a plane to Jordan. Well, technically, depending on when you're reading this, I'll be on a plane to NYC and then Jordan, but those are details. The important thing is we're going to Jordan (the country, not Michael's house). If you have to look it up on a map, here it is. It's home to Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world, the Dead Sea, the Red Sea and a bunch of adventures we're setting out to experience. ...

Silos, Ladders, and the First Step

June 12, 2012 By Joel Runyon 9 Comments

Last week, we did the first photo shoot since we launched Impossible HQ. I've been in the midst of an incredible fitness regimen as I knock another thing off my impossible list so we decided to do a fitness shoot to celebrate. The focus is "no excuses, no equipment, just results" so we wanted to find an empty warehouse to reflect those themes throughout the shoot. Over the last few weeks, I searched for abandoned warehouses and buildings where we could do ...

What Cold Showers and Bungee Jumping Have in Common

June 9, 2012 By Joel Runyon

A few days ago I was talking with someone who'd signed up for Cold Shower Therapy™. They were pumped about it and were planning on going to the World Domination Summit in July, so I asked them if they were going to come out to Plummet at the Summit with us in Portland in July. They responded in a way I've heard a lot of times before. Cold showers are one thing. Jumping off a bridge is another! I get this response (or something like it) whenever I do ...

Introducing Cold Shower Therapy™: The Challenge

June 5, 2012 By Joel Runyon 22 Comments

Cold Shower Therapy™ is officially here. --> Take The Cold Shower Therapy™ Challenge <-- The Backstory I get a lot of emails from people who feel stuck. They're bored and frustrated and they just want to make a change in their lives, but they don't know how. They look around them and see people doing stuff they want to do, but they just feel like everything is impossible. They're stuck.  I used to be there too. Two years ago, I was living in ...

How To Stop Being So Freaking Lazy

June 4, 2012 By Joel Runyon 23 Comments

The last 8 weeks have been tough. I've been on a workout regimen I'll be sharing soon that's been kicking my butt but getting pretty awesome results (which I'll also be sharing soon). But last week, I hit a wall. I was tired, annoyed and a little sick of working out. I didn't want to do it. Not because I couldn't do it, but because I was being stubborn, I was making excuses. I was being lazy. It was simply easier to sit around and tap my keyboard for a ...

40 Degrees and Rainy With 100% Chance Of Windsprints

June 1, 2012 By Joel Runyon 14 Comments

Yesterday It's been raining all morning. Grey, dreary rain. I'm freezing too. I look around the chilled house and realize it's dropped a few degrees outside so I look up the temperature online - 49 degrees. It's May. I glance at my workout schedule – windsprints. I almost laugh. The thought is ridiculous. 40 Degrees. Rainy. 0% of Windsprints today I tell myself. No way. No how. Hell no. I look back down at my computer and get back to work. I fire ...
