We did it. We freaking did it. I remember shooting this video in LA back in July and wondering "What the heck amI getting myself into?" Apparently the answer was: An Awesome Adventure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvaQICpAcOM The goal was $25,000. We smashed that a week early (on Christmas no less), and raised $26,406 Because of you guys, 1,000 kids in Guatemala are literally going to have the chance to do something they thought might be ...
25 Things To Do With 25 Dollars
Greetings from NYC. I'm here meeting with the crew from Pencils of Promise for a few days and visiting the city for the first time in over a decade before coming back to Chicago tomorrow and running the 50k ultramarathon this weekend. Things are busy! --- If you're like me, you rarely use cash anymore. Nevertheless, I probably have about $25 on me at all times for random purchases, cash fare, or in case of emergency, etc. Here's 25 things to do with the ...

The Burn Notice Guide To Doing The Impossible

Someone who can do ...
