Selling Options for Traction

December 28, 2019 By Joel Runyon 2 Comments

I’m doing this year-in-review a little bit different. 2019 was quite a shift in how I've done everything - from life to fitness to business - over the last 5 years. One of the main concepts I’ve focused on over the past few years is optionality. It was done subsconsciously for a few years, but Taylor Pearson put together the optionality framework that made me realize that had been exactly what I was doing. Taylor breaks this concept down to ...

Turn The Page

December 10, 2019 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

Turn the page. Have you ever read a certain book or passage so engaging that it stopped you on the page? Maybe it was so awesome you had to re-read it. Maybe it was so boring that you couldn't even get through it. Maybe it was so terrible that, like a car crash, you just got stuck scanning it over and over. Maybe you hated it so much you put the book away and tried to not think about it, but it wormed its way into the back of your brain and ...

December 2, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

You already know what to do. You’re wreaking havoc on yourself by couching your fear of uncertainty in indecision. You tell yourself that You're being rationalYou don't want to make the wrong decision.You want to make sure everything's perfect. But we both know that's not the case. What you really are - is scared. You don’t need more information. You don’t need more time. You don’t need someone else to come along and help you. You ...

Manufacturing Your Own Momentum

October 9, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

The last 6 months have probably been the most productive of the last 2 years. After lawsuits, technical issues and a whole bunch of life changes, I’ve had to manufacture momentum out of thin air, remember what it’s like to move forward and build something new. Maybe you know what I’m talking about. When you’re stuck, it’s easy to stay stuck. It’s literal physics. an object remains at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. And the ...

Introducing the IMPOSSIBLE Standards (beta release)

August 27, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

impossible-standards

Today I’m releasing something that I’ve talked about for a long, long time. The IMPOSSIBLE standards. In a world that shies away from impossible standards, we’re inundated with propaganda telling you to be less: “That can’t be done” “Aim lower” “Stop trying so hard” I’m going to step in and just let out one big. F-------- THAT IMPOSSIBLE Standards IMPOSSIBLE Standards are a standard. They are binary. Either you get there or you ...

Compete Against Your Friends

August 7, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

compete-friends

Coming out of Hell on the Hill 6 - I noticed a theme came out of nearly every conversation I had. They all started with these two questions: What challenge did you just do?What challenge are you doing next? The best part about doing hard, ridiculous and sort of stupid challenges is that you filter out everyone not willing to do hard, ridiculous and sort of stupid challenges. And, when you’re around those people - the types of conversations you ...

hell-on-the-hill-6

Every year the hill brings it’s own anger. Every year it shows it in a new way. The first year was HOT. The second year it rained. This year, I thought I was ready… Spoiler alert: you’re never ready. This year, I thought I’d write a practical guide to Hell on the Hill - by the numbers - mostly determined by the thoughts going through my head as I did it. Pre-Hill The music is blasting,. You’re jacked on inspirational stories. Jesse ...

It’s Only Going To Get Harder

July 17, 2019 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

harder

What’s the thing? The thing you’re meaning to do, but haven’t done “quite yet.” It’s difficult, it’s hard, and you don’t want to do it yet. Most people would say you need to do something else. Relax, lower your standards and do something easier. But what if you don’t? What if you need way more stress in your life. If you’re feeling slow, stuck or need a change. Maybe you don’t need to have things be easier, or do less. Maybe you need ...
