Blogging has changed my life. It's taken me from living in my parents basement, to running triathlons, to growing an online business, running ultra marathons, starting another business, building multiple apps, and traveling around the world. Some of the places I've been able to go because of blogging (this was just this ...
The Blackmail Yourself Beta (want an invite?)
For the last few years, I've talked about blackmailing yourself into goals. I've done it a ton of times myself to get ready for a photo shoot, prepare for a talk or just get more stuff done.

We got a chance to meet the Laos team, see the first ever school that Pencils of Promise build, see a school build in action, and ...
Introducing Move Well 2.0: More Routines & More Movements So You Can Move Well(er) Than Ever
After I busted my ankle 26 miles into my 43 mile race in Patagonia, I had to do about 6 months of rehab. I hated it.
