Greetings from South Bend, Indiana of all places :). I'm back in my college town to speak at my Alma Mater and spread the love about discipline & cold showers. Speaking of cold showers, we just released an update to our Android version (as well as a smaller update for iOS). The new android version now has: Squashed a bunch of bugs.

Why I’m Launching Impossible.org
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. 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 ...
Cold Shower Therapy for iOS is Brand New
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 ...
The 2014 Annual Review
As 2014 comes to a close, I’ve been working through my annual review of things. I've been doing this for a few years ever since I read about it from Chris Guillebeau. You can see his here. I also quite enjoyed Nathan Barry's review here (if you're looking for another great read). Personally, as far as things go, 2014 had a lot of ups and downs. I’ll take a look at a few areas before diving into specifics of what went well & what ...

Impossible Gear 2014 Fire Sale
Hey guys, So I got a box of impossible tees (blue and grey) plus women's tanks that I need to clear out. Long story short - we're changing stores for a final time to help us streamline handling orders. That said, we're going to be running a whole new batch of inventory with a few slight design changes. That means I've got an entire box of extra merch that needs to be moved. And now. Seriously, it's taken over my ...

Why I Started My Blog
The why behind what you do is often more important than what you actually do. Here's my why. --- A little over 4 years ago, I started a list. I was an out-of-work college grad, 9 months out of school who couldn't get a job for the life of him. I had started a couple blogs while trying to figure out this "internet" thing, but kept accidentally overwriting the databases on my Bluehost box. Doh! I applied for jobs everywhere I could and everyone ...
A Few Updates on Cold Shower Therapy™
Cold Shower Therapy™ (daily five minute cold showers) has become one of the most interesting things I've talked about since starting IMPOSSIBLE. I've received more stories and more hate mail about this one concept than about almost anything else I've written. Here's the premise of CST: If you can’t do something uncomfortable and difficult for five minutes in the shower, how the hell are you going to do something uncomfortable or difficult in real ...
