I’ve been traveling for almost 3 years now. To be honest, I'm a bit tired of it (I'm ready to get a base for a bit to grow IMPOSSIBLE), but I have to admit, after traveling so much - I've gotten pretty good at it. Part of it comes down to streamlining the process for myself and having some rules set in place for traveling. Here's a couple of my golden rules for traveling: Pack half the stuff, bring twice the money. Noise-cancelling headphones ...

The FPC Protocol (Frequently Asked Questions)
I’ve been getting a bunch of questions about what exactly the FPC Protocol is so I thought I’d take some time to answer them. What is the FPC Protocol? The FPC Protocol is a super simple, easy to follow eating protocol designed to help you build lean, solid muscle - particularly for those that find it hard to gain muscle, weight or size.. FPC stands for the three phases of the eating protocol. Are There Workouts Included? I give a basic workout ...
INSIDE: The FPC Protocol
Last Friday, I got a couple emails: Joel - this looks awesome - but what exactly is the FPC Protocol? Great question - I guess I should go a bit more in depth. When most people try to lean out, they declare a war on carbs. The core idea of FPC is that carbs are not bad (phew!), but you need to know how to use them. But before you go crazy, if you’re direly overweight or trying to lose a bunch - carbs can suck. They make you hungry, spike your ...
Back To Shipping
I realized I haven’t been talking about the things going on with IMPOSSIBLE. I have been handling a lot of things internally. But I haven’t talked about them publicly enough. I think that’s typically how I handle stuff. I’ve spoken before about how once I talk about something - it’s done. It’s just a matter of time until I do it. That’s how I felt when I relaunched 777 and that’s how I feel about most things. That said - that means that I tend ...
The Quiet IMPOSSIBLE Project That’s Raised Over $56,000 (you probably don’t know about it)
You’ve probably heard me talk about IMPOSSIBLE.org - the philanthropic arm of IMPOSSIBLE. You’ve most likely heard me talk about Pencils of Promise and the 777 Project - where I ran 7 ultra marathons on 7 continents to build 7 schools with Pencils of Promise. IMPOSSIBLE.org is not an official non-profit entity / 501c3, but it is a channel we use to raise funds and awareness to give directly to causes that we care about. To date, we’ve raised over ...
Is Your “Question” Really Just An Excuse?
Do you really need to ask that question? I was at the gym in Barcelona and we had a 1000m rowing test. I like to think I'm pretty good at rowing, but it’s been a while and my endurance is way off - I know I could go hard at a 1:30 pace, but I didn’t know how long I could hang out there. So I was going to ask the coach about his best advice on pacing for the challenge. Then, in the half-second where I was translating my question to Spanish in my ...

Starting 10,000 Blogs with StartABlog.com
Last year, I helped close to 100 people start a blog. This year, I’m going to do it again. Why? Starting a blog changed my life. It got me out of my basement and running ultra marathons on every continent on earth. But more importantly - it taught me skills. It made me focus on my goals. It helped me become a better writer. It put myself out there and get sharper. It forced me to get myself into the arena. It also forced me to ...
