For the past few weeks, I've been more creative than ever. I've written more blog posts, more emails and made forward progress on more things in the last 6 weeks than I have in the last 6 months. Part of that has been due to the lack of legal fiascos I've had to deal with (more on that later), as well as some traveling I've been doing, but most of it is due to a new habit I've picked up for helping me control my thought processes and get stuff ...

Why I’m Launching Impossible.org
Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Impossible.org - a new site for all of the philanthropic initiatives at Impossible. Since I've started Impossible, I've had an eye towards giving back - specifically on a global scale. This is mostly because when you realize how fortunate you are (and if you're reading this blog, that includes you - no matter how bad you think your current situation is - you have the freedom to read this and the leisure time to ...
Wear Impossible Gear – Win $250 (Here’s How)
One of my focuses going into this year is upgrading our Impossible Gear line with more functional and awesome gear (starting with the resilient shirt - one of my favorites and a helpful reminder this year). However, in addition to the gear itself, a big part of it will be revamping the site and I want YOU to be on it. Yeah - that's right - you. Here's the deal. I can do all the impossible poses I want (and don't worry, I definitely will), but I ...
17 Apps I’m Currently Using To Run My Business From My Phone While Traveling Full Time
A couple weeks ago, I sold a bunch of my stuff in San Diego and hit the road again. After 2 years and change in SD, I needed to get moving again. I've got a car with a few things in San Diego still, but for the most part, I'm on the road for the foreseeable future (or at least the next few months). I've been in Barcelona for the last 2 weeks and will be here for 3 more before heading to Greece and Croatia (with Switzerland, Iceland and Amsterdam ...
Stop Worrying About Doing It Right
I took my first serious yoga classes the other day in Austin. It kicked my butt. I’m not a yoga dude. I do mobility work - but yoga is a different animal. I figured I’d have a lot of trouble getting into the “practice” and thought the woo-woo nature would make it too hard to focus on the athletic practice. On top of that - half the people at the event (it seemed) were yoga pros. Meanwhile, I was basically struggling to touch my toes (see proof ...
Muhammad Ali on the Impossible
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ...
The No BullSh*t Rule
I got set off the other day. My phone was stolen. My crappy iPhone 5s phone – like 3 years old. Stolen. Some idiot at the basketball courts thought it was the new iPhone 6SE (because Apple thought it was a great idea to make phones big, then even bigger, before making them small again after realizing no one wants a phone that’s the size of their quad), so they dug around in my bag, grabbed it and peaced out. So they stole my phone – I don’t ...

Domains Uniregistry - The best service for handling multiple domains at once. They also provide free privacy protection, which helps a ton when dealing with spam, annoying website design inquiries, etc. They have a lot of features that make it easy to do bulk renewal and big ...
What Don’t You Do?
What don’t you do? It’s easy to be swept into a series of things just by being afraid to tell people no: Oh, yeah I can do that. Sure, I’ll figure it out. Yeah, I’m your one-stop-shop. Don’t get me wrong, I think there’s benefit to being a jack of all trades and being well-rounded. This is a favorite quote of mine: A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a ...
