If you really think about it, how many words do you use to describe how you are feeling? Three? Four? For most of us, we go no further than happy, sad, and stressed, or some variation of those. For some, it is simply ‘good’ or ‘bad’. But the english language has over 3000 words to […]

I just saw a post in an entrepreneurs group I am part of which asked the following question: “If you could create absolutely anything in 6 months, what would that be?” I was astonished at the number of people (60+) whose response was simply a number – $10k/month, $1 million, etc. etc. If I could
I used to describe my attempts at surfing as ‘trying not to drown. I’m not a great surfer, but that’s only because I haven’t practiced surfing as much as I have practiced the things I’m good at. This weekend, for the first time in my life, I actually felt good about surfing. I tried the

I spent last weekend at a natural hotspring. A truly magical place, in the middle of nowhere. It is a place of alchemy, of liminality, of juxtaposition. Situated right next to the river, my friends and I spent the weekend jumping from hot to cold, from the calm and peace of the hot pools, to

Yesterday I hiked one of BC’s crown jewels, up to Garibaldi Lake. It’s not a particularly challenging hike. Even though there’s over 1000m of elevation gain, the gradient is pretty comfortable all the way up, but the reward is spectacular. Even on a dreary, overcast morning, the views from the shore of the frozen lake

It was actually written into the deal with FOX. In one episode, Sideshow Bob is released from prison, and clings to the bottom of the Simpsons’ car

Today I heard three powerful stories. Stories of survival, of struggle, of coming through adversity. It was in a small group session at the coaching intensive I’m at, and I was gripped. I shared my story too, with all the mess, the potholes, the struggles. And it was also powerfully received. It made me think

There is no knowing who comes back from an adventure. When Frodo stepped onto that boat with Gandalf, there was no way of predicting who he would be when he came back. No way of predicting the twists and turns of his voyage. As the journey progresses, Frodo develops as a hero not by acquiring

The Longest Climb On how epic achievements don’t feel that epic, and how we underestimate what we are capable of. By Tom Lancaster 10 years ago today I did something that no-one had ever done before. Over 13.5 hours, I climbed 29,045ft on an artificial climbing wall, 1,210 ascents of the 24ft wall. The project had

Listen up. I see you, and I see right through you. Your inauthenticity is killing you. I see you hiding behind a mask of half-truths, omissions, and lies. I see you trying to please everyone and be everything to everyone, but in the process, you’re losing yourself. I see you putting on an act, for
