When you take a cold shower, there's a split second before you turn the knob to cold, where if you listen close - you can hear them. They're quiet and subtle, but they're familiar.

You’re Using The Wrong Fuel
My buddy Tim has an old school Hummer. It's a former military vehicle stripped to the frame, made non-street-legal, rebuilt and made road-legal again. You can drive it damn near anywhere and no obstacle is gonna get in it's way. It's a fun machine to drive around. It just goes - no questions asked. But, it runs on a diesel engine. That means if you try to use standard gas in it, it might sputter around for a second before coming to a halt ...

Enjoy The Misery
A lot of people write me and tell me they're miserable. They hate their job. They're not healthy and they're tired all the time They don't feel like they're doing anything that matters. But...when it comes to making a change...they hesitate. When I bring up Cold Shower Therapy, they pause. They have excuses, reasons they're an exception or send me hate mail.

2,000 Dollars & 48 Hours
How much time would it take for you to drastically change your life? There's usually 2 schools of thought here – little by little or all at once. Both work, but if you're wanting to change a bunch of things at once, I think changing your location is the way to go. Which leads to an interesting thought experiment: How much would that actually cost? How long would that really take? Could you actually do it? Now most people dismiss this out of ...
4 Killer Workouts from Living with a Seal That Will Push Your Limits
I finished reading Living with a Seal in about 3 hours this week. It's a good read and you can read my main takeaways here. The quick rundown is Jesse Itzler has done quite a few things (former rapper, sold a private jet company, ZICO, Hawks owner, and married Sara Blakely of Spanx to name a few), but he got a little too comfortable. So he hired a former Navy SEAL to come live and train him for a month. He doesn't mention who SEAL is by name in the ...

Cold Shower Therapy App Updates + Android Is HERE!
It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on our app business, but today I’ve got good news. The little app building gremlins have been hard at work behind the scenes - rebuilding our database, updating stats and adding new features to our suite of apps, but today I’m talking about CST - Cold Shower Therapy. I’ve been using the app this year to get out side of my head and kicked off this year with 100 straight cold showers + had one of the most ...
Practical Resources To Get Out of Your Head and Back In The Game
Stuck? Find yourself asking questions, playing out worst-case scenarios and trying to opt out of making decisions or an impact? Happens all the time. Delay the decisions and pick your vice to kill some time and delay the responsibility - food, weed, booze, TV, drugs, Facebook, gambling. All great ways to forget about problems. Not really great ways to solve them. Despite the travel over the last couple months, I found myself sinking into some ...
