When I’m in Boston, I work out of the new Wistia headquarters. It’s a great location in Davis Square, and though it’s not fully-furnished right now, you can see how badass it will be as they grow.

They’ve also got some available space for startup people looking to do a little co-working. If you’re a startup in Boston, get in touch with me and I’ll make an intro to the guys. Just be sure to bring your A-game on the ping-pong table!

for anyone competing, be it business, sports, life… INSPIRATION.

i eat these things up. 

thanks for sharing Joe.

I love this. I do my own CrossFit-style workouts, but I need to get on the real thing. Maybe even head out to Gym Jones for a week sometime… 

p.s. - these two are badass.

I’ve been doing CrossFit 5 days/week for the past year and a half. I love it. At 44, I’m in the best shape of my life. And it’s the one exercise routine I’ve really stuck to.

Here’s a good CrossFit video. It’s an ad Adidas did for the CrossFit games.

Be the captain of your soul.

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul. 

This is an excerpt from ‘Invictus’ - by William Ernest Henley and it’s used in the film Invictus - the inspiring true story of the South African rugby team that won the World Cup (with Nelson Mandela’s avid support).

I got to see it on a recent cross-country flight. I really loved the story and found honest inspiration from Mandela (at least, Morgan Freeman’s portrayal of him), though I really sympathized with Matt Damon’s character, Francoise Pienaar - the captain of the team - trying to lead the South Africans to victory against seemingly impossible odds [among other things, the finale against the ever-intimidating All Blacks (seriously, watch that clip)].

Be it sports, startups, or life in general - great leadership is crucial to success, and it all starts with a single belief in your own ability, much the way Mandela and Pienaar sparked South Africa to a World Cup victory.

But you don’t have to be the president of your country or the captain of your team. You don’t even need followers. Everyone can be a leader.

You just need to be the captain of your soul.
