The blog turned 9 last week. That’s a long, long time to do anything. I celebrated it by doing something very apropos for me lately - negotiating trademarks. When it started - it was just a blog about a kid living in his parent’s basement trying to do something impossible - run an indoor triathlon. Not anything crazy. The last 4-5 years have seemed like a grinder personally. Injuries, lawsuits, ultra marathons, building schools, more lawyers, a ...
Russell Kirsch was right about Apple
A chance encounter 7 years - changed how I view the impossible. I ran into Russell Kirsch - the creator of the first programmable computer and the pixel (you’re welcome digital photography). You can read the full story here, but he left me with a quote and an insight about Apple that I didn’t understand right away. I didn’t know who he was at first. Just an older man at the coffee shop asking me if I liked Apple. I told him I did and I used ...
My Current Performance Recovery Stack (what I’m using and why)
Mindset. Training. Recovery. When I talk recovery, I'm not just taking time off, but taking time intentionally "on" to do things to get your body ready to perform at a high level.

If you’re stronger, it’s easier to recover and you can be a bit more on the ...
Why I Moved To Austin After 3 Years on the Road
I recently packed up all my stuff (again) and moved to Austin. Unlike when I downsized to move to San Diego, I actually had quite a few things with me (I haven’t counted this time through). It's been 3 years since I officially had an apartment. Since then, I've finished 777, traveled the world, ran across 2 countries, did stints in New York, San Diego, Chicago, Portland, and Barcelona, and shot videos in Iceland and Denmark (keep your eyes peeled). I ...
A New Home for IMPOSSIBLE Products
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
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 - ...
