2023/08/31

Yo! Vinny here. This weekend marks one year of living in Japan; when I had this dream of moving to a foreign country, I pictured me against the world. In a way I hoped for that adventure. The lone wolf in a foreign country. I couldn’t have imagined that I’d immediately make lifelong friends, that we’d have countless memories and experiences together all over this country, and that we’d cap off our first year watching the sunrise atop Mt. Fuji, which we did last weekend. People are everything;

Greg and I (Vinny), love to read. Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, your grandma’s cookbook—nothing’s off limits. Not merely for entertainment, but because stories help us understand reality. They help us better know ourselves. Integral to a meaningful story is conflict, revelation, courage, fear; love. The purpose of our young lives, we’ve found so far, is to live a story worth telling. That is why we’re here. That is why we pump out this podcast and continue, because we hope to inspire you to

2023/08/01

Life is one heck of a roller coaster. It’s the ups and downs that shift our perspective—the seasons, the waves—which contrast one another and help us understand what life can truly be. We need the lows; it’s in those difficult seasons that we prove to ourselves who we can be; that we can make it through; better yet, that we can make it through in style without losing the love in our hearts. What gets me through is gratitude. If you’re listening to this, odds are you have much to be grateful for

2023/07/19

Carl Jung is famous for formulating the concept of the shadow self. Known as the "repressed self" or the "disowned self", these are the parts of us that we relegate to the darkness of the unconscious mind. Our shadow consists of all the "negative" qualities we try to hide from others (and ourselves) because they bring us shame, embarrassment, or disgust. To hide our shadow, we criticize the same qualities in others that we are attempting to disown. Gregory has been

Last week I (Vinny) posted two Instagrams: one that was a highlight reel of good things in my life, and twenty minutes later, one that showed me broken, hurting, vulnerable. Both posts were an expression of who I am - yet the second one made an impact. It helped other people who were hurting, too. It shed some light on what I was struggling with. People reached out, and I felt so much love. That’s the potential of social media. Yet, in its current state it’s a breeding ground of envy and

Gregory is 17 hours into his conversational journey to speak with 100 people about their biggest dreams. He is quickly learning that nearly everyone is craving freedom. Financial freedom.

And when he asks about the plan to obtain this freedom, he is seeing the same formula again and again.Step #1: Sell time and personal freedom to someone else Step #2: Sacrifice and do

2023/06/12

Why do we create? Why throughout history have artists painted, written, composed music, taken photos or performed dance routines in their rooms for nobody to see? As creatives, we’re enticed by the prospect of turning our art, whatever that may be, into our livelihood. Some of us will be lucky enough to do so. But if the only reason we create is because of an illusory promise of success, we may wait a lifetime until we finally feel appreciated, seen, heard, understood. Artists, which we all are,

Over the past two weeks, Greg and I (Vinny) made soul-enriching memories in my home city, Osaka, Japan as well as sunny Fukuoka and a rain-drenched Nagasaki. Along the way, we often brainstormed on our biggest, most outrageous ambitions. One anchor of our trip was the following quote on the Rich Roll Podcast by legendary editor and founder of Wired Magazine, Kevin Kelly: “Do something in your twenties that looks nothing like success.

I (Gregory) was a guest on my friend Stacey's podcast recently and we talked about the comfort zone. She asked me about how people can get out of their comfort zone more, and I was struck by a big thought. I realized that most people (including myself) try to take the intellectual approach. We read books like The Comfort Crisis and Daring Greatly to inspire us. We listen to David Goggins and Cameron Hanes to motivate us.

Over the past year, I (Vinny) have been asked in different ways if I’m always happy. This has made me ask myself, why? This question of whether I’m always happy has made me wonder if it seems as if I’m putting on a front; if people think that who they see isn’t the real me. Well, I can tell you I hurt; I feel just as deeply as anybody. That doesn’t mean the man you see with the unwavering smile is some fraud. That person is one of faith. The smile isn’t fake — yet it’s for you, and it’s for me too

After a nine-day surf trip in Panama, Gregory reflects on a few powerful realizations that stemmed from having ample time for leisure, afternoon naps, and reading. The biggest epiphany came from Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic and has to do with the distinction she makes between martyr and trickster energy. Martyr energy is heavy, solemn, sacrificial, and rigid. Trickster energy is light, sly, playful, and flexible. Gregory realized that he had been creating martyr energy regarding drinking
