Podcasts are layered with rich content that could launch you into a whole new mental state and potentially inspire you to take a new outlook on life.

I fall deeply under the surface of the water getting lost in the sea stars and floating like I'm in space through rays of sunlight and life all around me. I meditate quietly, letting my hands fall at my sides, allowing my body to move as one with the current around me.

Ways I Could've Died - Starting Freshman Year Wrapped Like a Mummy

Ways I Could've Died: Cage Diving with Great White Sharks

In 2007, my parents took me on a trip to Africa. Not just any old Africa, but the one with all the lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and OH YEA, GREAT WHITE SHARKS. Did you realize that? Just off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, 16-foot Great White Sharks are ready and waiting just below the surface.

Ways I Could've Died - Santa Elena Canyon, Big Bend National Park

I appreciated the concern, but there's one cardinal truth about me, and that's that I will always do whatever it is I originally wanted to despite what others think. I'll make modifications and be safe, but fear isn't something that typically guides my actions.

Alternatives to Your 2019 New Year's Resolutions

The essence of a list of new year's resolutions is well-intentioned; however, resolving to live a better, more fulfilling life year after year sometimes feels repetitive and like one more thing we never get around to completing. Here's a list of alternatives to your 2019 new year's resolutions.

The Science Behind Our Mood

Why is it that sometimes we wake up ready to conquer the day and others ready to crawl back under the covers and do nothing? Our moods vary frequently, some more than others, and we are constantly seeing the world through the lens of how we feel on the inside.

2018 Gift Guide: For the Intentional Chef

If you can name one scent more nostalgic and comforting than that of a (non- burnt) meal being prepared in the kitchen, then.... Well, let's just assume you can't because there isn't one - except for maybe that fresh outdoors goodness in our beard oil and balm set.

The Thoughtful Fall Meal Plan

Meal planning is nice in theory, but if you are like us, sometimes there's just not enough time to make it happen every week. Planning your meals for the next several days requires grocery shopping, cooking, dishwashing, and time - not all Sundays have a spare couple hours, and if they do, sometimes those spare hours are better spent soaking up the last bit of freedom before another busy week.

10 Hiking Trails We Visit In Our Dreams

There is a very real and undeniable connection we have as humans to the earth around us, and there is something to be said for pursuing that connection with full force. It's easy to get lost in photos online of places we dream of going, but it is a whole other type of fulfillment to actually 'buy the ticket and take the ride', as Kerouac would say.

Men Who Inspire, Pt. 1: Environmentally Responsible

We're inspired by inspirers, leaders, thought-provokers, trailblazers, and minds that are awake, ever-learning, and ready to make their communities better places. We learn from those who have led when the times demanded action (especially the ones with beards). Some of our greatest inspirations are those who love our planet as much as we do.

A Man Who Reads: 5 Books to Inspire You

Books are sexy, and there's no two ways about it. There's even an entire Instagram account called "hot dudes reading" - that's right books are trending. Books are also super rich with content that can lead you deep into a world outside of your own, self-realization and improvement skills, history, art, drama and more.

Letting Go of That Competitive Spirit for a More Fulfilling Life

As we are surrounded by social media that reminds us of others' successes, it's easy to slip into feeling we're not enough or relatively unaccomplished. Holding a tight grip on our competitive spirit can be toxic and blinding in our friendships.

An Intentional Fall

I was thinking today that it's time I made some goals. Over the last few months, I feel I've been taking it easy and not making it a point to get outside as much and try new things. I think this was very much needed, but I'm getting a little stir crazy and with the winter months...
