33: John Durant

January 15, 2019 By Joel Runyon

John Durant an author and investor. He's the founder of Wild Ventures and NYT bestselling author of Spartan Fit and the Paleo Manifesto. He's also on my short list of people I'm petitioning to tweet more. I stopped by on my way through LA to talk about his story, the evolution from writer to investor and his first exit (Primal Nutrition - one of John's early investments just sold to Kraft Foods for $200M - congrats John & Mark!). We also talk his ...

A New Home for IMPOSSIBLE Products

January 15, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

Over the years as IMPOSSIBLE has grown, we’ve released product after product and helped people push their limits. However, it's been a bit disjointed as we released them on their own domains, and in separate projects. This meant we had a bunch of stuff in a bunch of places. No longer. As part of our goal to continually up-level myself and IMPOSSIBLE, starting today, these products are updated and have a new home. All of our fitness programs can be ...

You Have To Be Better

January 14, 2019 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

As I was outlining my 2019 goals, I could feel part of me start to shrink back. There was a piece of me that said “you can’t do that.’ And I almost started to believe that I could. But it was different than how I used to think about “you can’t do that.” Instead of not just believing that I could do that. I looked at my current habits and realized that “you can’t do that” if you keep doing things like you’re currently doing them. In some ways - ...

What Could You Be Wrong About?

January 9, 2019 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

In my latest annual review, not a lot of things went well. It got a little laborious to keep reviewing what specifically went wrong because the list just kept looking like "all of it." So after beating myself up a bit, I shifted and started to ask myself another question: What might you be wrong about? This is a lot less fun of a question so ask. With "what" went wrong - it's easy to blame stuff - not named you - for things that happened. It's easy to ...

2019 Goals

January 8, 2019 By Joel Runyon 3 Comments

Part of me didn't want to do this after the debacle that was last year. That said, I am trying to be more explicit in my goals going forward. Life Get a Home Base I’m cheating here because I technically already signed the lease,  but this is gonna give me momentum. Plus the lease technically starts February 1st, so I’m counting it. My list, my rules. Business Transition To Business Owner of The Paleo Business As I’m writing this - I’m realizing ...

2018 Annual Review

January 8, 2019 By Joel Runyon 8 Comments

Alternatively titled: In which Joel screws up for 365 days straight. Well I f**ked up. Usually when I do the annual review I focus on what went well and what didn’t. Things are a bit different this year. 2018 - not a lot went well. About 4 months into the year, my entire life blew up and I had to rebuild everything from scratch. Instead of doing that - I just nicked off for the rest of the year. Don't get me wrong - I still had plenty of adventures ...
