There’s one problem with every single thing you’ve ever read. It affects every book you’ve read, every guide book you’ve downloaded and each and every blog post you’ve ever read – including this one. They all have the same issue: They don’t do the work for you. You can read inspirational quotes until your vision gets blurry. You can read and [...]

I’m back! After more than 4,500 miles and 70+ hours in the car in less than 14 days, I’m back in Indianapolis. Here’s what the final itinerary looked like: Indianapolis –> Chicago –> Dallas –> Austin –> San Antonio –> South Padre Island –> San Antonio –> Austin –> Dino World –> Dallas –> South Bend –> Indianapolis –> Woodstock, [...]

Most of you know already about the World Domination Summit. If you don’t, you can find out a lot about it here. Here’s the one sentence synopsis of the event – “In June 2011, a small army of remarkable people will converge on Portland, Oregon for a weekend of strategizing and adventure.” The World Domination Summit [WDS] is a conference [...]

Hello from Woodstock – the dairy capital of Canada. I’m a little over 4,000 miles total into my road trip and I’ve been to both the Mexican and Canadian borders so far and I’ll be enjoying the Canadian snow and ice for the next few days – turns out it’s a little colder in Canada in January than it is [...]

Greetings from San Antonio [again!]. I just got back from a few days at South Padre Island [and the Mexican border] and started my just-over 1900 mile trek north to the great country of Canada over the next week. Here’s a picture of Bobz World – possibly the world’s biggest attraction of useless SPI tourist paraphernalia – but they did [...]

It’s a little chilly down here, but not quite as cold as Indiana [which got almost 3 feet of snow the day we left–warmth is a relative thing, right?]. We’ll be trying to outrun the cold as we head down to South Padre Island [...]

Everyone these days seems to be going on road trips, book tours, or just visiting other parts of the country. It looks like I’ve got the memo too, but my reasons are a bit more conventional – I’m going on vacation I’ve mentioned before that I actually have a normal 9-5 job. As part of that, I’ve got a few days of [...]

UPDATE: 100 Pushups Video Update I’m starting the year off a bit differently than a lot of people in blog-land. I failed. I’ve been saying for a while that I was going to do 100 pushups. Well, I didn’t do 100. I WASN’T EVEN CLOSE. In fact, I didn’t just fail – I failed spectacularly. It’s a little humbling to [...]
