Going Pro
For a long time, I was playing business. Or rather, I was playing life. I wasn’t taking it seriously. I was being an amateur. I mean, I was serious - look at this face - but I wasn’t approaching my work or my life seriously. I had struggled to get out of a crappy job, escape the midwest winters, and then got to California and life was relatively good. Mission Accomplished. I was always wary of becoming a “Thailand entrepreneur” - the digital ...

What If You Didn’t Let Yourself Fail?
Let’s play a little thought experiment. What if for a week - you couldn’t let yourself down? As in, you physically were unable to let yourself down. What if for a week - you couldn’t let yourself fail? What if for a week - you had to do everything you said you were going to do? This is reminiscent of my integrity challenge from a few years back. What if you showed up every day for yourself? What if you took care of yourself like someone ...
Introducing Paleo Meal Plans 2.0
Today, I’m writing about a business I haven’t talked about much at IMPOSSIBLE - PaleoMealPlans.com. I don't talk about it as much around IMPOSSIBLE, because 1) IMPOSSIBLE isn't a paleo-specific blog and 2) the business runs semi-autonomously with the team in charge since I spun it out of IMPOSSIBLE X a few years back. A quick history - PaleoMealPlans.com grew out of UltimatePaleoGuide.com - which grew out of IMPOSSIBLE Abs when I first mentioned ...
The Problems That Grip You
https://youtu.be/sCHhgwRkY3Y?t=2760 The problems that grip you are the portal to your destiny. https://twitter.com/joelrunyon/status/1066740709351337985 I heard this on the version of Rubin Rerport and Jordan Peterson live. I saw them in Denmark (thanks Dave for the tickets!) and this was just a few days later. I've listened to Peterson a lot, but this quote struck me: The problems that grip you might contain your destiny. A lot of people ...
What Do You Want To Give Up?
I love the first 5 seconds of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzCZWUxWsjY Important Part of the Transcript: Yeah...that'd be cool. That'd be cool. I want to be this. I want to be that. Grab your f--king nuts and be it. /// Everyone talks about what they want. Everyone talks about the freedom they want. About the rights that they have. About the life that they "deserve." No one talks about what they want to give up to ...
