You’ve probably heard me talk about IMPOSSIBLE.org - the philanthropic arm of IMPOSSIBLE. You’ve most likely heard me talk about Pencils of Promise and the 777 Project - where I ran 7 ultra marathons on 7 continents to build 7 schools with Pencils of Promise. IMPOSSIBLE.org is not an official non-profit entity / 501c3, but it is a channel we use to raise funds and awareness to give directly to causes that we care about. To date, we’ve raised over ...
State of the Impossible – October 2016
It's been a while since I've done a run down of what's going on here at IMPOSSIBLE so I thought I'd take the chance today to go over all the new things happening here. Over the summer, I've done quite a bit of traveling including: Barcelona, Rome, Greece, Switzerland, Croatia, Iceland, Portland, San Diego, NYC, Park City, Tahoe, and a lot more and in the meantime, we've rolled out a TON of updates to IMPOSSIBLE, the company & the apps we've built, ...
Cold Shower Therapy App Updates + Android Is HERE!
It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on our app business, but today I’ve got good news. The little app building gremlins have been hard at work behind the scenes - rebuilding our database, updating stats and adding new features to our suite of apps, but today I’m talking about CST - Cold Shower Therapy. I’ve been using the app this year to get out side of my head and kicked off this year with 100 straight cold showers + had one of the most ...
Why I’m Launching Impossible.org

This is mostly because when you realize how fortunate you are (and if you're reading this blog, that includes you - no matter how bad you think your current situation is - you have the freedom to read this and the leisure time to ...
Wear Impossible Gear – Win $250 (Here’s How)
One of my focuses going into this year is upgrading our Impossible Gear line with more functional and awesome gear (starting with the resilient shirt - one of my favorites and a helpful reminder this year). However, in addition to the gear itself, a big part of it will be revamping the site and I want YOU to be on it. Yeah - that's right - you. Here's the deal. I can do all the impossible poses I want (and don't worry, I definitely will), but I ...
7 Day Integrity Challenge
It’s 4am and I cannot sleep. I got my tinted glassed on, taken magnesium and nada. Zilch. It's been an issue for a little while now, and while I'm naturally a night-time person, I've found that sometimes, when I can’t sleep - it’s not a physiological problem, it’s psychological. In other words, there’s some idea bouncing around in your head that won’t let you rest until you get it out. I've had something like that happen to me the last few ...
5 Years Ago
Exactly 5 years ago, I spent Thanksgiving weekend slogging through half-melted snow-slush, getting chased by dogs and trying not to slip on any still-frozen patches of ice at my part-time seasonal, UPS job. I was still waiting to be picked. Still waiting for qualifications. Still wanting things to happen to me. 5 years later, with a Thanksgiving dinner overlooking the pacific ocean - I have a very, very different life. Thanksgiving on the ...
