You guys have heard me talking about my early lifelong love of activity and sports like skateboarding, skiing, football, and even going to college on a soccer scholarship. Coming from an athletic background, I always considered myself pretty active. Yet, the truth is, once I started building my photography career in action sports I put my entire focus in that and the majority of my movement came from my work. Even though my career is...

"Busy" isn't success. Busy is a lack of priority. For a long time I thought the following about "busy" people: -they were important -they were cool -that had it so rough - poor them! They need sympathy! Then, after bailing on a career in soccer, dodging medical school and quitting half-way through getting a PhD in Philosophy - I went to work for myself. That's when being "busy" doing all that busy work ACTUALLY got...

We're into the new year and everyone's talking about resolutions and goals... lose weight, quit drinking, teach yourself some new skills. Yet something like 1 in 3 folks give up before the end of the first month. What gives? I'm cutting to the punchline on this one: 'Change' by itself sounds so big and ominous. But it's not. At its core, change is just making the 'right' decision toward the outcome you want enough time...

So grateful for all the feedback on the last #cjRAW.

I live by hard work + hustle -- they are some of the key elements to my success and the successes of so many of my peers... but so is recovery. One cannot live at 100mph. One cannot ALWAYS be on a diet, be in peak performance. Rest is mandatory. We either choose to find it in appropriate doses OR our bodies an our lives will choose it for us (crash and burn, get sick,...

Calling all maker geeks, photo geeks, and audiophiles - this one is for you. Yes yes, I regularly champion experience over stuff, but the reality is also true that we creators use tools to create. As such, in today's #cjRAW I shine a bright little light on 3 tech tools that caught my eye. One for the geeky geeks, one for the photo geeks, and a third for the audiofile / video geeks. Glowforge When...
