Beginnings always hide themselves in ends. 
Two months ago I was in the ICU at Park View Hospital, using a walker to get from the hospital bed to the bathroom (which I could barely do). It took three weeks to recover from the rattlesnake bite I got in Eastern Colorado. It’s me you see me dive (with poor form) into the water in this video above. You don’t see the doctors and nurses and physical therapists that got me back to not only walking, but walking 30 mile days. You don’t see the countless people who walked with me in the Midwest and East Coast and helped me crush miles. You don’t see the photo of Don Gately that I kept on the RV. You don’t see the sweet grass and arrowheads and Nabii and the eagle feather bestowed to me by the Dine people when I walked across their sacred land. You don’t see Rowin or CJ who wished me luck on the side of the busy highways. You don’t see @chadwickmouton whose arms I wept in moments before diving (with poor form) into the ocean. You don’t see @downsquarez or @julianroymusic who gave their entire beings into making this mission a success. You don’t see Milo Frank or Adam, some of my best friends who visited me on the walk. You don’t see my mom and my sister or my dad who all supported me. You don’t see Ryan or Duke or Haddock or Holmes. You don’t see the semi-trucks whose side view mirrors brushed my shoulder everyday. You don’t see Big Sean or Drake or John Mayer or Justin Bieber who messaged me throughout the journey to wish me well and kept my spirits high. You don’t see the 30 loved ones on the beach who cried and laughed and held meat the end of The Walk. You don’t see any of that shit. But without all those people, that heavily bearded man doesn’t dive (with poor form) into that ocean. He doesn’t make it there. He doesn’t even come close. I’m humbled and grateful for you all.

Let’s be real though, I don’t want to become some fat-old-white-guy who talks about that one time he did something cool a long time ago. Fuck that guy. I don’t want to be him. I will not be him. 
This is the beginning of the rest of my life.

Beginnings always hide themselves in ends. Keep Going.

Park City THANK YOU
The lightning and weather pushed us back, but we knew we were playing this show no matter what—even if it meant going fully acoustic in the rain. And what a night it turned into. This was my last show for a couple of months as I head off to hike the CDT—3,100 miles of dirt, dreams, and soul work. What a sendoff. I’ll carry the energy from last night with me every step of the way. See you on the other side. 
KEEP GOING

When the future is empty, the present is unbearable. I’ve cured my own depression by creating a version of the future in my mind that inspires me. But inspiration isn’t meant to stay in inspiration. A dream either grows into a plan, or withers into regret. This project scares the crap out of me. That’s how I know I should do it.

I’m hiking the Continental Divide Trail.

That’s 3,100 miles of dirt, rain, sunburns, mountaintops, blisters, grace, and God.

People ask me why I keep doing these things—walking across countries, pushing my body to the edge, leaving the comfort I worked so hard to build.

And the truth is… I don’t always know.

Maybe it’s because I’m brave. Or maybe it’s because I’m broken. Maybe it’s both.

But I do know this: I don’t want a small life.

I want a life that cracks me open. That humbles me. That brings me to my knees and then teaches me to dance again.

I want a life where I earn my own respect.

And so—I walk.

One step at a time. Toward something bigger. Toward the man I’m becoming.

I’ve accomplished a lot. But I’m not done.

Keep going.

When I got the call that I was going to be playing Electric Forest this year I literally jumped for joy. It turned out to be one of those moments you just had to be there for. My mom was side-stage as were some of my childhood friends. At one point I just broke down and cried. Cried because I’m really proud of the person I’ve become. There was a lot of pain to overcome to get here. The thing I’m most proud of is while I still enjoy the fun of doing shows and the money isn’t bad either, I’m not there for myself anymore. Actually, I would much rather sit at home and chill with my fiance than live on airplanes. But I’m here on a mission to remind others and myself just how beautiful and strong they are. My intention is to create a space for love, miracles, and transformation. I think we all achieved that together at Electric Forest. Thank you, I love you, keep going!
