Human beings are some fairly opinionated critters. I don’t think you need to check out a documentary on National Geographic to figure out that piece of wisdom, but that also doesn’t make it any less true. We have opinions and dagnabbit, we are going to foist them on each other whether we like it or [...]

Choking On Our Own Rage
Mar 26
Hope you enjoy the video – trying to mix up the content here at ol’ Fierce and Mighty. I do a lot of public speaking for work and, honestly, I enjoy doing it. If y’all like it, I will do some more. And if you are interested in nominating me for the Hartford Courant’s Webster [...]
Grinding Towards Beauty
Mar 15
So yesterday I decided to avail myself of being so close to a few of the most amazing national parks in the United States, if not the world. The park of choice? Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. This was really a two-part kind of initiative… because, you know… I’m all about efficiency! YEAH! OK, [...]
The B.S. of Busy
Mar 13
Let me ask you a very simple questions, my friends. How much of this sounds eerily familiar to you: “Yeah, I’m just SO insanely busy right now. I just don’t have any time to… Eat better/cook at home Read more Go to the gym Go church/pray/meditate/think Spend more time with my family/friends/alpaca herd Finish that [...]
Every Step, A Building Block
Feb 27
My trusty new kicks. May they make me fly like the mythical shoes of Hermes. As I’ve written about before, I made the totally awesome (or epically stupid) decision to do a Tough Mudder in Vermont in May. Now, in preparing for that little life adventure, there was one thing I assiduously avoided as much [...]
Driven by Fear
Jan 14
Motivation can come from a lot of different places, some internal and some external. I hear people debate over which is really the most powerful, but I tend to find the debate odd in that I think it’s impossible to separate the two. I think they effect each other in many ways. My motivation right [...]
I’ve just hit a point where it occurs to me that I’ve never really gone into much detail as to what exactly I do when it comes to lifting, conditioning and all of that happy nonsense that keeps me fit and sane… or at least as sane as I’m ever going to get. I do [...]
I’m someone who likes finding some new challenges for myself every now and again. I like new stimuli since I can otherwise stagnate, so when my friend, Jason, let me know he was putting together an obstacle trail race to benefit The Wounded Warrior Project, I was 100% game on. OK, maybe more like 99% [...]
Sometimes It’s Just Play
Oct 11
As I start this post, I am already wondering whether it will be overly specific to a small group of people. I never like doing that, so I am going to do my best to rein this puppy in and bring it back around. We’ll see how that goes. And with that unbelievably awkward introduction, [...]
People who lift weights… I mean really lift weights… tend to get viewed through a certain lens by a large bulk of society. Muscle = moron in a lot of contexts. You need look no further than your average Planet Fitness commercial. It’s as if there is an inversely proportionate relationship between size and smarts. [...]
