Every month, I host an in-person workshop in Vancouver with ONE goal:
To help you feel more ALIVE... and break you out of the day-to-day routine and that mundane, boring feeling you feel every single day.
No, it's not a hike. It's not about going out into the wilderness (though at some point that will be a retreat I offer).
It's about going deep into yourself to reconnect with the part of you that felt adventure every day as a kid.
Even doing the most boring things.
The next one is on June 27th, and I'd love to see you there.
It's a "give what you get" model - which means there's no financial obligation to attend. At the end of the event, you'll have the opportunity to donate to the scholarship fund.
This is what keeps the event open to the publish without a hefty price tag up front - and it also goes towards people who are committed but don't have the financial means to enroll in coaching with me.
People fly out from across the country, and often end up in tears or with serious realizations about their life and the changes they need to make to finally feel alive again.
@joshdgavin Start stacking away cash in investments while the money is good.
Especially if you won’t notice it’s gone. But even if you do
There will be down seasons and unexpected expenses
Start stashing it away now in a place you won’t look
You never know if or when you might need it
The other night my brother ordered garlic parmesan wings.
They arrived soaked in what I can only describe as a mysterious white sauce.
I took one bite and felt violated from head to toe.
He finished them anyway, then ate half my buffalo wings (smart man).
There's no life lesson or business tip here.
Just a warning:
Beware the garlic sauce.
Although you’re extremely attractive and I’d love to have sex I don’t think we’re soulmates and it would thus be irresponsible for me to entangle our spirits. Hope you understand
The thing I want to mention too, is that when you don’t know what you want, you will always bend over backwards for everyone else to make their wishes and dreams come true.
Or you will change your plans to fit into “what’s acceptable” to others (family, society, peers, general expectations).
When you are so fucking clear on what you want, that becomes an impenetrable force that you can cling onto in the face of adversity, questioning, and authority.
You become the authority.
It’s a powerful place to be.
And while it takes time to build this practice so you no longer people please, it’s one worth doing.
It will change your life.

I used to hate my smile.
I’d get shy whenever people would take photos of me. Or I’d ask them not to take it at all.
I’d pick apart every part of my appearance.
How fake my smile would look.
How asymmetrical I thought my face was.
How awkward I thought my body looked.
And don’t get me started on my weight (I’m still coming to terms with the fact I got a little extra chunk to me still).
It’s been a lot of work to accept the parts of me I shoved away for so long and despised.
The fact that I’m selfish sometimes. Arrogant. Sexual. Loud. Manipulative as fuck.
But what I’ve come to understand is that when you push these parts down and don’t accept them, they come out subconsciously.
And project onto the world around you.
Making everybody else the cause of the lack you feel inside.
Relationships become stale.
“Fun” things feel meaningless.
And life feels empty.
Because there’s gonna be traces of these parts in everything you do.
You can’t avoid them.
Well, you can.
But they’re gonna scream at you more and more in ways that they control how you appear in the world and who you show up as.
They’re gonna make you do things you end up regretting.
So they’re gonna make you bring them to light one way or another.
And finally look at them.
And realize they were just parts of you that you’ve neglected for most of your life.
And that all they really want is to be accepted and loved for what they are.
For what you are.
So as I’m accepting these things more and more inside me.
I’m starting to be ok with how I look.
I’m starting to not have to fake a smile in photos anymore. Or “try” to smile.
I’m becoming more… me.
And the more me I’ve found myself to become.
The more others have grown to love me.
And the more I’ve grown to love myself.
It’s added a lot of color to a life that felt grey.
Despite how it looked on the outside.
Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
