I recently picked up the 4 Hour Work Week again. I remember reading it when it first came out - and like many people - it changed what I thought was possible about the world. With books like that, I like to revisit it from time to time to remind myself of concepts or revisit principles I can still implement. Some of it rings true still. Some of the stuff is outdated (as Tim outlines here, along with some things he'd like to add). At one point, I got ...
The Perfectionist’s Antidote
Marty McCutchen is a long-time NBA referee - who recently was one of my favorite NBA podcasts with Zach Lowe. Over the past few years, the player and referee relationship in the NBA has gotten more tense - with players thinking that referees have gotten worse and the refs thinking that players are acting less professional. Objectively: refereeing is a tough job. It's an incredibly stressful, complicated, and frenetic environment. There's tons of ...

Why I Fired Myself, Outsourced My Fitness, and Got a Coach
After 777, I’ve found I don’t have any major fitness goals coming up. I don’t have any ultras on the timeline immediately, I’m not trying to achieve any specific aesthetic goals (yet), and I’m not trying to set any new PRs (again, yet). However, I have noticed that I want to raise my level of general fitness up and work on some new bodyweight skills. And I’ve been standing in my own way. The last few months of 2017, I found myself overthinking ...

The First IMPOSSIBLE Tattoo
I don't have any tattoos - but I love the story behind other people. I'll talk to the barista at the coffee shop or the checkout clerk about their tattoos just to find out a little something about them. Most of them say that you "can't just get one." You'll get hooked. You'll get a bunch. And, I'm not known for my ability to deal in moderation, so I've stayed away from them for the most part. But, if there's one thing I've thought about in the ...
