The World on your Shoulders

Over the past year, I experienced a lot of wonderful things as a result of saving and planning for my upcoming journey. Once I committed to a direction, I found it really easy to cut out the luxuries in my life that I thought I needed, and live an incredibly simple life, originally as a means to save. As I traded gym memberships for a cinder block and expensive lunches at work with…See More

Hey man, good to see you on here. As you can tell I'm trying to find ways to promote the blog as I travel and build content, it's a fun hustle. We got to bounce ideas, visions and general goodness off each other. I feel like I have a bunch…

Discipline your Self

The "Polar Bear" Plunge

The "Polar Bear" Plunge from Brandon James on Vimeo.



Looking out into the icy Lake Michigan boat harbor my heart dropped for a second. I could already feel the icy sting in my toes, the cold shortness of breath as the shock takes over.

Quitting the Corporate Life

I’m really starting to believe that when you make a decision to follow your passion and face every doubt and fear head on, the universe will always conspire to line up circumstances in your favor. When I started to look at my life a year ago and really became…
