“For what does a man profit if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?”

In my mid 30’s, about 13 years into my Corporate America career climbing the ladder, I hit rock bottom.  I found myself caught up in the insatiable quest for more, bigger and better.  From success at work to possessions at home.  I had an “ah-ha” when I realized the tradeoffs I was making to achieve said success, just weren’t worth it anymore.

After taking the ultimate promotion to a stay-at-home dad in 2017, I started putting the pieces together on what a full life looks like for me.  The blank canvas I was given to start over allowed me the chance to create a solution to something that would’ve greatly impacted me when I needed it most during my delusional pursuit of self-centered success.

I now measure success in more wholistic ways.  In 2020, we left the city and moved to the Northwoods of MN where I found myself in love with a simpler way of life.  While I enjoy all the conveniences of modern day, I’m a vintage throwback man who craves the solitude and enrichment the Northwoods has given me.

You’ll see me facilitating once-in-a-lifetime Guys Trips all over the world, but I’m happiest splitting wood with an axe at our cabin in the woods. 

Guys Trip has facilitated over 16 trips since 2019 and over 200 guys have attended in total.

One of the rhythms I’ve been baking into my fitness routine is what I call…

Emptying the tank 

I’ve found this to be not only good for conditioning, but helpful in navigating transitions. And allowing pent up energy and emotion to be released. 

On a smaller level, it could be a series of all out sprints. All out effort on the rower, or the assault bike. 
This works well at the end of the day for me. 

Occasionally I’ll do a longer event. It also helps me gauge where my fitness is at. 

Like yesterday, I did the one hour indoor triathlon. 
15 min swim 
30 min bike 
15 min run 

Have you found any type of workout to be effective in emptying the tank like this?

Do you think comfort is earned?

I think it's a trap.

It sneaks in disguised as "balance".  Or at least that's what we tell ourselves.
But over time, it dulls your edge.

You wake up with all the trappings of success, but no spark.

That’s the tension I wrote about in last week’s Quiet Fires.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, this is the kind of conversation we’re having around the fire 2x a month.
