Once I had made the commitment to fully own my creator status, I realized something: The more value I added to the world, the more value the world added to my life! As a consumer, I was always taking more than I gave, and it created an imbalance in my life. When I made the […]

When I first began using cannabis we would just take a hit from a bong, watch funny YouTube videos, and walk around my neighborhood laughing and enjoying the effects. The effects for me were as follows: –Heightened sensory acuity -Deep present moment awareness -Time slowing down -Powerful feelings of empathy -Universal perspective -Strong yearning to uncover life’s […]

We had been hiking for hours and hadn’t seen a single soul when we reached the top of the lookout. With sweat soaking my back, I laid my hiking pack on the ground. The view was beautiful. With my friend standing next to me, I thought “how does it get any better than this?!” As […]

My entire life I’ve only ever done just enough to get by. That’s a humbling realization. When I used to race motocross, I would only ride just fast enough to pass the guy in front of me. It’s the reason I rarely won races if I was leading the pack; the only way I would […]

Are you just productive, or are you efficient? There is a big difference between being productive and being efficient. When I think about structuring my day and getting things done, my mind immediately goes to the word productivity. Or at least it used to. How productive can I be today? I would ask myself this […]

As a busy entrepreneur, or aspiring entrepreneur you probably have lots of distractions. The internet alone is enough to distract us for hours without end! So what is one to do when another day threatens to end and there are still things left on your “to do” list? 1. Focus How do we focus when […]

Wake up, snooze, get out of bed, bathroom, coffee, shower, get dressed, go to work. This is how the majority of Americans start their day (or some variation thereof). It’s a cycle that continues day in and day out. So when I talk to people and they tell me they don’t have energy throughout their […]

When I first started my journey of awakening I was so excited to consume as much content and knowledge as possible. I read books, watched training videos, attended online webinars, and did weekend events, all so I could get more. For 3 years I continued in this pattern of learning and absorbing information in order […]

 That macaroni and cheese looks really good. Those were the words I thought to myself as I stood waiting for the man to take my order.   “So what’ll it be?” he says.   I check in with my intuition. “I’ll have the brussel sprouts,” I said.     This is a decision I used […]

After spending 10 days in the desert recently I had a breakthrough on how I wanted to BE from now going forth. Not having a phone, or any other device to connect with the outside world, allowed me to be RIDICULOUSLY present. Not worrying about checking my phone, or what other people were doing, or […]

I already wrote about my Burning Man experience last week. Check it out here. Since I am STILL getting lessons and transformations a week later, I wanted to share some of the gifts I received already. Be open to receiving I consider myself a generous person and consistently give to those around me. However, sometimes I […]

10 days off the grid. No phone, no watch, and no contact with anyone other than the people standing in front of me. Complete presence. Epic adventures. Self expression and soul expansion. These were the intentions I had going into Burning Man 2014. So what the heck is Burning Man? It’s like trying to describe […]

It was the last weekend in May, and I just finished another amazing event with Evolution Room crew. At the end of every Threshold event we take on 30 day challenges to move us forward towards something we want to see manifest in our life. When it came around for me to make a declaration, […]

I did. I HATED them. The way they exposed my hairy feet… The way people would wear them with jeans… Even the annoying sound they made when you walked! Needless to say I had A LOT of judgment around flip flops and people who wore them.   When I would wear them I felt self-conscious, […]

When I was younger, I used to hear people talk about “the meaning of life” and what their theory was. To tell you the truth, it made life seem really heavy. The weight of our entire existence is a pretty big thought to ponder! I mean, who REALLY knows why we’re here, and what we’re […]

It’s 2 pm on a Friday in May; MOST people are at work, counting down the minutes until they can go enjoy happy hour and start their weekend. But, I am not most people (and I’m guessing if you’re reading this you don’t want to be like most people either). As I stepped onto the […]

Continued from part 2. After finally eating some food, and having some conversations it was time for bed. 6 hours of solid sleep and I was awake and ready. Now I had heard that you can feel a bit tired, emotionally depleted, and/or even sick the day following a ceremony, but I felt A M […]

The hours leading up to our journey into the unknown helped set the stage for an amazing experience. (continued from Part 1) We practiced yoga, did breath-work and meditation, and got to know some amazing new people. Our group was small; there were only 12 of us. I’m not sure I realized it at the […]

For the last 60 plus years… western culture has been experimenting with Ayahuasca and it’s psychoactive ingredient, DMT, which is a chemical that is naturally found in plants and is actually produced in our own bodies. Essentially Ayahuasca, is a combination of specific plants that when prepared properly act as a delivery vehicle for DMT. Research […]

For 15 long years I had a secret story of shame and judgement. A story I was afraid to share with anyone. Because of what happened to me, (which I will reveal in a minute) I created a story that kept me stuck and playing small. What if the one thing that was stopping you […]

As I sat there, hunched over, waiting for them to call my name, I thought to myself “I’ll probably never race again.” I shuddered as the realization that everything I had known and worked for the past 6 years was coming to an abrupt end. Sadness began to sink in. I didn’t know it at […]

“The sweet is never as sweet without the sour.” ~Vanilla Ice Sometimes in life we need to feel bad so that we remember how good we can feel. I am admittedly a pretty freakin’ happy person. Ask my beautiful girlfriend- or any of my friends really- and they will tell you. Truth is, up until […]

Life is full of them. Sometimes they’re confusing, and other times they’re amazing.  I’m referring to paradoxes.

Thirty, the age most women dread. “Twenty nine and holding” they say. Well maybe it’s because I am a man, or maybe it’s because I believe that age really is just a number, but I am excited! Every year I have spent on this earth has been better than the previous. I meet more great […]

Where were you exactly one year ago? Me? Well I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand experiencing great food, beautiful jungles and amazing people. When we reflect on our past, things seem to make more sense.

This Guy Wants to Change the World! With our current political, economical and environmental states, it would be hard to argue with someone who said they wanted the world to change.

  *This is an article I wrote in August 2012. I felt too vulnerable at the time to share it, and it got lost amongst the sea of my life. Now, over a year later, I want to share my experience of being sick, and what it taught me! Overcoming pneumonia has been a humbling […]

“Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope – a slight change, and all patterns alter.” ― Sharon Salzberg Cultivating a healthy ego is really about waking up.
