Hey there! I just flew home from Portland, Oregon yesterday, after an energizing-yet-completely-exhausting weekend at Chris Guillebeau's World Domination Summit. I hung out with 499 amazing people for the weekend, talking about doing awesome work and about changing (okay, dominating) the world. (And enjoying really good vegan food truck options everywhere I went. Yay, Portland!)…

In a million years, I wouldn't have thought Comcast would be the one to finally get me to cancel my cable. Freeing myself from the grips of the idiot box was something I had wanted to do for years. People I respect had convinced me that cancelling my cable could change my life, even add…
"Stage four cancer." Three words. That's all it took to send everything into a tailspin. The man sitting in front of me, one of my closest friends, didn't look sick. There was no way he had cancer. I had been so certain Carlos was invincible; this kind of thing didn't happen to people like him….
Two weeks and one day from now, I'll be running the Boston Marathon. I love how that sounds, so let me say it once more: In two weeks, I will be running the Boston Marathon. If you're new here, you might not know the story, so I'll repeat it. Because I'm proud of it. Qualifying…

Remember that scene in Fight Club where Tyler Durden holds a gun to the head of the guy working in the convenience store? Tyler asks the terrified guy (Raymond) what he studied in college. When Raymond admits he wanted to become a veterinarian, Tyler tells him that if in three weeks he isn't well on…

In the days leading up to the launch of Matt's newest book, he's asked me to write something for readers facing their first marathon. Something inspiring, maybe, or some insider tips and tricks. I was happy to oblige — my first marathon led me to this gig writing for No Meat Athlete! — though I…
My friend Dustin from FitMarriage.com is releasing a new product called Quick Fit Formula. It's a series of video interviews with 12 fitness experts, about getting fit when you don't have a lot of time. And one of the interviews is with me! Let's be honest—the important thing here is that someone called me an…

God bless my mother-in-law. The other day, I did an interview with Dustin from Fit Marriage for a new series he's doing about active couples. To prepare, I asked my wife, Erin, what advice she might give in the realm of fitness for couples. You know, a tip or two we've used to keep from…
Before we start, let's get one thing out of the way. Whoever euphemistically called this a feast should be shot. While it's not a fast, it's no Fat Tuesday either. I didn't beat myself up over failing at my ill-fated first attempt at a juice cleanse. It ended, one and a half days after it…
The other day, I did an interview at BlogcastFM.com. It's mainly about blogging, so if you're a blogger or you're just interested in what goes on behind the scenes at NMA, go check that out. But the reason I'm bringing it up is because in the beginning of the interview, we talk about Tony Robbins…
