How Impossible Fits Together

November 26, 2016 By Joel Runyon 3 Comments

One of the questions I get asked is: How does all of your stuff fit together? Another question phrased differently is: It seems like you have a lot going on – so what exactly have you built, and how does it all fit together? Great question :) Ever since I started the blog, I wanted to have my own business. I was broke and in my parent's basement and had no hope to actually know what that means, but over the last 6 years, I somehow ended up with ...

November 22, 2016 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

I want to introduce you to a new website I'm launching through Impossible X - the parent company that runs all of our projects here at IMPOSSIBLE. It's called StartABlog.tv and it's the best place to learn to set up a blog. So why am I doing this? Well, I get asked quite a bit about how to start a blog. I've built IMPOSSIBLE from something I was writing in my parents basement to a full-time business that I run from anywhere in the world. I ...

Why I Delete 30,000 Subscribers Every Quarter

November 19, 2016 By Joel Runyon 4 Comments

A lot of people want a lot of subscribers. They get excited about growing their list + get so excited about the top number that they forget about the other factors involved (including quality, open rate and subscriber activity). If they keep it up, they'll notice their top number (total subscribers) increases, but other metrics (revenue, opens and activity) actually decrease! So, it surprises some people that every month I delete at least 30,000 ...

The Best Headphones for Productivity (Over Ear, In Ear, and Noise Cancelling)

November 18, 2016 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

hifiman

Updated July 11th, 2019 If you're wanting to listen to binaural beats to increase your productivity and get sh*t done, you need good headphones to rock out on. These are not the cheapest headphones. When it comes to my gear, I'm willing to pay for quality and comfort. I use them everyday, so I want it to work, last and I want to be happy with them. If you're looking for the cheapest headphones, you're in the wrong place. But if you've already ...

“We’ll See”

November 15, 2016 By Joel Runyon 17 Comments

we'll see

Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically, "you must be so sad." "We'll see," the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it two other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed!  "Not only did your horse return, but you received two more.  What ...

The Answer

November 14, 2016 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

the answer

There's a simple formula you can use any time you run into an obstacle. If there's a problem going on in your life, there's only one answer. To be truthful, it's less of an answer, then a system you can go through to put yourself in check and figure out how to move forward. Think of it as a simple checklist for doing hard things. Here it is: Fix your mindset Get Stronger Build Discipline Become Resilient Get After it It sounds ...

How To Create a Custom Fitness Dashboard with Gyroscope

November 9, 2016 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

gyroscope chrome

A few months back, I ran across Gyroscope – a personal dashboard for your fitness and life. I've been tracking a lot of random things for a while (weight, steps, travel, runs, etc), but they were always isolated in their own apps. What happened was that I had a bunch of data that I was collecting, but no way to see it all. When Apple released Healthkit a few months back, I was hoping that would pull everything together, but all it did was give me ...
