On 9 Years of Blogging

April 30, 2019 By Joel Runyon 2 Comments

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 ...

Introducing Paleo Meal Plans 2.0

November 28, 2018 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

paleo-meal-plans-settings

Today, I’m writing about a business I haven’t talked about much at IMPOSSIBLE - PaleoMealPlans.com. I don't talk about it as much around IMPOSSIBLE, because 1) IMPOSSIBLE isn't a paleo-specific blog and 2) the business runs semi-autonomously with the team in charge since I spun it out of IMPOSSIBLE X a few years back. A quick history - PaleoMealPlans.com grew out of UltimatePaleoGuide.com - which grew out of IMPOSSIBLE Abs when I first mentioned ...

IMPOSSIBLE Update: December 2017

December 3, 2017 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

I’m working to get back in the rhythm of doing monthly wrap-ups on business and personal goal updates here at IMPOSSIBLE. A goal with a timetable is just a dream, so this is a way to return to some of the public accountability I’ve shied away from the past couple years (for legal reasons) and I'm really happy to be able to be back to building stuff and being more transparent about what's happening at IMPOSSIBLE. What To Expect Going Forward I’m ...

7 Years

April 25, 2017 By Joel Runyon 2 Comments

It’s been 7 years since I started IMPOSSIBLE. When I started the blog, it was an experiment in doing something new, trying to do something interesting with my life and get out of my parents basement and working on a list I thought was impossible. It started with an indoor triathlon (seriously, read it). Since then, a lot has changed. I've: Run a ton of races Taken 40+ people skydiving, 50+ bungee jumping and actually do something they're scared ...

2016 Annual Review

January 4, 2017 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

I’m a little late to the game this year with my year-end review, but I wanted to continue the tradition of looking back on each year. I’ve done it every year at IMPOSSIBLE (except last year) for a few specific reasons which I’ll dive into in a bit, but I wanted to get things back on track this year. What Didn’t Go Well? I got Sued (or rather - I continued getting sued) One of the reasons I didn’t do any end-of-year reviews last year was ...

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, ...

IMPOSSIBLEorg

Today, I'm excited to introduce you to Impossible.org - a new site for all of the philanthropic initiatives at Impossible. Since I've started Impossible, I've had an eye towards giving back - specifically on a global scale.

Cold Shower Therapy for iOS is Brand New

August 3, 2015 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

http://instagram.com/p/5g3yESTFve Cold shower therapy is the best way to get over your fear of action in a real, visceral way. About 3 years ago, we released our first app ever. It was ugly, primitive and very basic. But it also got us started for the first time, got us in the Apple store and developing apps. Over the past couple years, we've moved on to bigger and better apps, building a Top 20 iTunes health & fitness app and an awesome ...
