After the Frisbee was invented in 1938, it remained relatively unchanged. There was no clear reason to make any adjustments. There was even a seven time Frisbee World Champion Scott Zimmermann who had brought mastery to the sport. In 1986 though, Zimmerman threw an Aerobie flying disc 383 meters, for a world record throw of...

Belief, faith, personal power. Slightly different, but in the context of action, close enough to group. I’ve written about belief and Personal Power before. In fact, the free 130 page resource Pillars of Power is focused almost exclusively on cultivating personal energy and re-discovering personal power. Why does this continues to come up? As we...

We can define our own “power spots.” Stags and sea birds seem to do this well when they bask in the sun along the water. My dog Luna certainly knows where her power spots are also. Sometimes they are in the sun, sometimes shaded. Animals regularly have a particular affinity for certain exact locations. Defining...

In mechanics, when we have an object in motion – say sliding along a table, we have dynamic friction. This is the friction of one object sliding along the other. Both the mass of the object and the nature of the surfaces matter. When the object is at rest though, before it starts sliding, we...

Line fishing and spear-fishing have a similar outcome (dinner), but there’s a different dynamic going on. The biggest of which is the way we engage with the environment – the gap between being either above, or below the surface. With spearfishing, when you climb back into the boat after getting the fish, you’re sometimes asked...

It’s both a collection of previous writings and some other assertions about personal energy, personal power and the culture. Many thoughts are my own, many are referenced, and many are just plain stolen and collected over the...

If you’d like to persuade me to do something and I’m not already on board, three things are needed: A point of view. An ability to articulate or express a point of view. Empathy. The ability to not just listen, but to hear and see what I am not just saying, but feeling. What is...

In strength training, when we apply a stimulus and allow for recovery, we see it “working,” – we know this because we get stronger and either the weight goes up, or the perceived effort drops. As we learn to drive when we get our licence, we know it’s “working” when not only do we seem...
