Whatever it is you're looking for.  The irony of having access to so much information with the interwebz is that most of us settle for the first job that comes along.   Remember, you can do A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G you want to do.  Take a few minutes (and 2 cups of coffee if you really want to make some changes) and ask yourself, "Am I really doing what I want to do?" I've gotten to do so many things I've lost count, and I still can't say with confidence that I'm anywhere near having done "everything".  I mean, the work I get to do is pretty darn good, but there's so much to DO out ..read more

I'm deep into a new book called Oil + Marble. It's the incredible story of rivals Da Vinci and Michelangelo.  The book has so many cool tidbits, it's extra special because we saw both of their mindblowing work at the Louvre last year. Did you know the Mona Lisa once hung in Napoleon's bedroom? We will be attending a wedding in England this summer, so for my birthday, I requested to go wing-walking while there. Yeah, it is what it sounds like.   Been a dream of mine forever and it's hard to find in the States for obvious reasons. Check it out here. Would you do it? :)  In celebr ..read more

But first, shout out to Lee. She sold one of her last pieces of art from an art partnership a few years back. It was a big piece, and if you've ever visited our shop you've probably seen it. It'll hang at a pretty rad house out in the Joshua Tree area, so it's nice to know it's going to a good home.   Now to the weird thing: The older I get, the more I like to work hard. For a long time I just put more of a priority on adventuring at the expense of work. For whatever reason, I'm now really digging working hard, and the harder I work the more joyful it becomes. Same with you?   On Fri ..read more

I'm deep in the studio, working on an art-on-cardboard series for two art shows in the fall, one in Alicante, Spain and one in Singapore. My first international shows! If you want to see what I'm brewing up as the artist KickBoy follow my art page. If you happen to see any you dig, reach out, they are all available! Yes they are on cardboard, yes you can frame them, yes I can ship. Nik and I completely forgot about a wedding we need to be at in Santa Barbara this weekend. We rented a Tesla through Turo to try something different. Almost cheaper than driving the Tacoma, and hopefully more fun t ..read more

They're finally catching up to our Seven Pillars of Paleo idea, breaking down wellness into six categories.     I'm very pleased to note that, much like Spinal Tap, Paleo Treats always goes one notch further.   Still, it ain't enough to satisfy demand as around 37 percent of surveyed people wanted even more products and services in the sleep and mindfulness segments.    My advice?  Go visit my Mom in Indiana, jump in the river that runs by her house and you'll have plenty of time to work on mindfulness.  For sleep, well, be in bed by 10 pm with a good bo ..read more

We don't often think about how music affects our health, but it does. Music therapy is a proven way to reduce stress, fight depression and anxiety, improve mental illness symptoms like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (and even Alzheimer's disease), and more. Even if you don't think of yourself as someone who enjoys singing or playing an instrument, there are plenty of ways to sing for your health! Ancient healers in the Paleolithic era would sing to their patients. As you probably know, the Paleolithic era (or Stone Age) refers to the period of human development from roughly 2.5 million yea ..read more

(If you need to see Part 1 of Travels with Goat go here) On a tropical lazy coastal heat wave high, I slid into Goa. Elated to be at a shore, and doubly elated to catch a flight and a banana boat the next day to the Maldives. 1800 islands, 26 atolls and crystal blue waters in the middle of the Indian Ocean. After 4 months of 120 degree heat, I was ready to give India and me a break. The humidity forced me into the dark, air conditioned hotel disco, pretty much empty besides a huge man and his buddy, backs to me, chatting at the bar. My eyes adjusted to the seedy purple light. My skin to th ..read more

PART 2: (Part 1 is here if you need to get caught up) I ran my fingers over the towns being listed off to get a reference and realized the enormity of being in a slow moving tin coke can, about to cross paths with an F5 tornado.  We must’ve been in a dip because as soon as we topped the hill, there it was, terrifying and beautiful. Ferocious. Loud, unemotional yet crazy mad. It was a big, dark finger of God, just about to end some lives. The tornado was 3/4 a mile wide, a giant, black wedge barreling right towards us. Sirens. Red lights speeding past. More sirens. the usually soundtra ..read more
