"The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor." - Vince Lombardi. All In. Recently, in a conversation with the content development team for @HardWodder we set about the task of clearly defining our core values. I highly encourage this. It's amazing what differences emerge in the conversation around what you would #think are well defined terms or phrases. And that's why the conversation is necessary... but, that's another post. One of the concepts that we played with in our last conversation was the idea of what it means to be "all in" and how that could represent itself as a core #value. And after much discussion, we came to realize that, being "All In" at its most basic means that we choose to give our level best to provide #excellence in the "hows" of the business. How we execute, how we produce, how we interact with clients and each other. How... will we approach, even the smallest thing, with excellence and connect that with #great experiences. How something is done can be as important as what is done. As I watched one of my partners #compete today, I was reminded of this concept. The difference between athletes who were focused on the "how" of training, eating, and competing is night and day. It shows up in their #results, and in their ability to manage any situation. The highest tier comps are full of those who are all in on what it takes to advance... their detail work and #commitment to outcomes is visible. The rest... not so much. What does All In mean to you?

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."- Pablo Picasso. Talented. For me, food is first and foremost fuel. Some greens, some protein, and basics like salt and pepper and I'm a happy camper. But for my Queen, #food is art. It's hard to imagine canned tuna looking picture worthy, yet in the right hands, it very well might. Her hands are those hands. She makes her #artform with pretty much anything you can throw at her... and though she may complain when top shelf ingredients are lacking, she'll eventually settle in and pull something tasty from the ether. My skills lie elsewhere... as may yours. Notice the word choice here. #Skilled is used rather than talented. Talent exists, but #effort counts to a higher degree. Over the course of her life, the Queen has literally put in thousands of #reps in the kitchen. Whatever talent she may have has been augmented by her experience and effort over time. People use the word, talented, to describe those who seem to easily produce #results others don't. They'll say Jerry Rice or Steve Young were talented football players, yet the #truth is both men worked their asses off over a long period of time to develop their skills. You didn't see the #effort. You just saw the results. Granted, certain people are geared toward certain endeavors... you'll have a hard time in #basketball if you're 5 feet tall. Still, at 5' 7" Spud Webb played professionally and won the slam dunk contest in '86. Was he talented? Sure, but so were thousands of other men who were taller. What was the difference? Is everyone beyond you "talented"... or is that just an #excuse you use to avoid the work needed to get what you want. What sat you? Your words matter below. Site +Light. J #norestfortheworthy Be.

"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand." - Vince Lombardi. An old friend recently asked me, "What is HardWodder?" He had seen some of my videos on Facebook and was curious. I responded by telling him that @hardwodder was first a foremost a #mindset. One that celebrates those who give all they have in pursuit of want they want out of themselves and their lives. It's about acknowledging the #power of consistency... and moving anyway even when you face tough circumstances or long odds of success. Keeping faith in your own efforts. Trusting the #work, having patience, and knowing that on a long enough timeline; consistency always wins. Like the river that carves the deep canyon, the hardwodder ethos is embodied by each man and woman who rises each day with #movement toward their individual purpose... relentlessly taking small steps to better to better themselves and those close. The concepts that create success in the #gym are the same concepts that create success elsewhere. HardWodder was born in #Crossfit. It lives in anyone who gives their best efforts... from the one who cleans up to the one who cleans big weight. When you bring all of you to what you do, it is not only seen... it is felt by all who take time to see what drives you. That is how you #influence others... you start by being the best you and let that feeling radiate outward. Join us in this effort. Start where you are, with what you have, in your industry, box, or circle... the best of you is what this world sorely needs. What say you? Your words matter below. Fortes Fortuna Juvat. J. .

"It's easier to program a bunch of shit than it is to focus on quality coaching." - L2 Takeaway. From Learning To Wisdom. My foray into the #Crossfit Level 2 Trainer Course ended today. And, during the course, I was reminded why I was originally drawn to the methodology. Simply: It requires you to do hard things. Yet, few aspects of life demand our best anymore. In our modern "Bernie Sanders" world filled with free shit loving, there's a pill for that, I'm not responsible for myself general public... we see this echoed repeatedly in mind, body, and craft. Why? Because humans are incentive based creatures who move when they have to. If you find yourself with all needs and most wants met, its difficult to expand past that "I've done enough" mentality. But there's always a next level. Going there requires expansion... deliberately placing yourself in difficult or vulnerable situations that require you to expand. There you find new incentives, new purpose, and you move accordingly... success or failure is irrelevant. Its about who you become along the way. Having seen a glimpse of true quality coaching this weekend, coupled with honest feedback, and coaches driven to create excellence in others, I am humbled and grateful. We can all go deeper with our knowledge and skills of even the most basic elements of our lives and craft to mine wisdom we can use to elevate those around us. What might the world look like if we all joined in that effort? Better, for sure. Hat tip to those pictured above. You are appreciated. Where are you personally on your journey?

Much love to @marino73 and @paleoappetite for taking @hardwodder into Calgary this week!. . I understand you turned some heads and got some #questions at your workout about the #brand and the product. Thanks for the #support and unwavering faith in the #ethos... that people live their best lives when they give #all they have for all they want. It's not obvious how we can undo generations of #weakness and overcome the deluge of "get fit quick" or "abs in a bottle" thinking so prevalent in today's world. Yet, I know on some level we've started to make a few dents. My plan is to continue to make more. To #celebrate the workers. Those who work their asses off to get to the next level. Those who #do what others talk about doing. Get after it. J. . Remember: there is #norestfortheworthy Be. Do. Have...

You know what time it is... The 4th Annual Memorial Day Murph is happening tomorrow at @xfitnorthphoenix and is being led by former Army Ranger @ckcarsonkemp. This #WOD is done in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy, who was #KIA in 2005. If you saw the movie #LoneSurvivor then you for a healthy dose of what happened on that day. Murph was a proponent of and supporter of CrossFit style workouts and called this one "Body Armor". After his death, this workout... one of his favs, was renamed in memoriam. Murph (Body Armor) is:. 1 mile run. 100 #pullups. 200 #pushups. 300 #squats. 1 mile run. Be there for the event! All are welcome. And be sure to grab your Murph shirt at #linkinbio.

"The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." - Confucius. Photos Tell Stories. Just not the#whole story. This image of @rockinwithdokken mid #muscle up during a tough competition WOD years ago represents a metric ton of stories. It not only captures the beauty of the pain you experience when giving #allyouhaveforallyouwant ; it also stands as a monument to all the efforts to get @hardwodder started to begin with. I've mentioned some of the #mistakes I made in the process... but never really mentioned the pride I felt overcoming all the obstacles I faced to get this shirt on this athlete at this competition. Largely because I never felt #worthy enough to acknowledge my own efforts as a creator and organizer. People like me, from the wrong side of the #tracks in rural GA, aren't suppose to have success. At least that's the #shit story I would feed myself... and that's all it was. It's a story that #discounts all the effort in design, creatives, production, and managing all that into a product line and booth on a shoestring budget for this event. Its garbage input. So looking at my stories, I see now that choosing a story that moves me toward what I want is one of the most #valuable activities in hitting my targets. And doing so... is about power. Owning what you are #capable of and acknowledging your ability to operate under any conditions as an #agent for you. The rest is just BS. As I look back on some of these old photos, and all the #adversity I faced with this movement, I do feel pride. See, so many along the way are now gone. And even though I had to put on hold for a while, it was #never an option to shut down. Hence relaunch. The first new run hit the site, last week... and appropriately, we begin with the #2018DefinitionOfPower line. I'd you believe healthy and happy humans are best kind, but and support this movement.
