Impossible FM #012: “We Choose To Go To The Moon”

August 18, 2014 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

[powerpress] In today's episode, I talk about the one of the reasons behind tomorrow's big announcement and share a short speach that my friend Kurt sent me. It's a video of John F. Kennedy at Rice University announcing the goal to go to the moon in 1962. It's an inspiring speech, but one that also requires immediate action. Going to the moon is no small task, so if you say you're going to do it - no matter how good of a speech you give - you better get ...

I was an out-of-work college grad, 9 months out of school who couldn't get a job for the life of him. I had started a couple blogs while trying to figure out this "internet" thing, but kept accidentally overwriting the databases on my Bluehost box. Doh! I applied for jobs everywhere I could and everyone ...

A Few Updates on Cold Shower Therapy™

August 8, 2014 By Joel Runyon 2 Comments

Cold Shower Therapy™ (daily five minute cold showers) has become one of the most interesting things I've talked about since starting IMPOSSIBLE. I've received more stories and more hate mail about this one concept than about almost anything else I've written. Here's the premise of CST: If you can’t do something uncomfortable and difficult for five minutes in the shower, how the hell are you going to do something uncomfortable or difficult in real ...
