Introducing Ryanintheus LLC – Marketing & Influencer Services


A New Adventure

I’m really excited to announce that I’ve founded Ryanintheus LLC, my own company offering Marketing & Influencer Services.  As CEO and head strategist I’ll be able to leverage and lead an incredible support team curated from my huge network of leading marketers, influencers and content creators.  This is an exciting new adventure for me, after founding a nonprofit back in 2010 and having thoroughly enjoyed the experience of building and leading that team over five years I’m really looking forward to being my own boss and building a place for others to succeed as well.

As a senior executive for the past five years at two of the worlds top agencies I’ve learned a lot about how marketing should and shouldn’t be done, and as a result have very strong beliefs about how to architect marketing ecosystems that actually deliver what all companies want, customers!  Similarly, as a social influencer being engaged by brands across the globe I have first hand knowledge of how to successfully leverage and engage influencers to get results.  Because I know so many influencers personally, I can match your company with exactly the right influencers to create successful long-term partnerships.

And Then I realized Adventure was the Best Way to Learn.

I took this pic back in June on a hike in the Methow Valley.  You can see the original on Instagram here.  The quote is a favorite because I think getting out there and having an adventure is one of the best ways to grow and then learn from your experiences.  You learn a lot from getting out of your comfort zone as they say!  For other quote images I’ve created click here.

20th Most Retweeted Marketer in The World

Top 100 Marketers on Twitter in the World

It’s not every day that it’s announced that you are the 20th most retweeted marketer in the world. Yesterday was one of those days!  A study by BUZZSUMO analyzed 11,000 influencers, then ranked them by an algorithm. That algorithm included 16 different influence metrics including retweets, Twitter lists, Google PageRank, Moz’s website domain authority and page authority. From these data points they were able to determine who in fact where true marketing professionals.  They then narrowed the list down to the 100 most retweeted marketers.

Top 20 Marketer

I’m very humbled to crack the top 20, but this was absolutely no overnight success. I’ve been working on building my Twitter audience since 2009 when I created my account to promote a nonprofit I had founded at the time.  Over the years I’ve had wonderful opportunities to get connected to some of the top global social influencers.  I was once fortunate enough to co-author a Huffington Post article with former Forbes #1 Influencer in the world Sean Gardner.  I’ve now tweeted 21,600 times and built an audience of over 173K with 60% of that audience interested in marketing.  All while holding down senior executive roles at global marketing agencies until recently when I created Ryanintheus LLC.

How to Become an Influencer

Over the years I’ve had many great opportunities in the marketing and social media space. I’ve led social media for a brand with 20M followers and befriended, worked with and learned from most of the top 100 social influencers in the world. I’ve traveled on influencer trips to London and very soon to Mexico. So I’ve learned a thing or two about how to become an influencer.

A couple of years ago I put these learnings together and I developed two great trainings. The first is an Executive Social Media Coaching which equips time poor executives (CEO’s, CMO’s, VP’s etc) and their teams with the knowhow and the tools to become influencers in their space.  The training focuses on Twitter and LinkedIn, my clients have included senior Microsoft executives and Verizon Wireless Managers across the US.  The second training is for anyone who wants to be a an influencer. It includes Instagram and Facebook as well as Twitter and LinkedIn.  I’ve completed this training with Olympians, Actors, Bands, News Reporters and other celebrities.

The Real Hugh Jackman: From WAAPA to Logan

It took 23 years but I finally got the chance to reconnect with Hugh Jackman, my old college mate.  All the way back in 1993/94 Hugh and I were both at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) in Perth, Australia. Hugh, back then, an aspiring actor studying theater, me an Arts Management student learning how to manage arts agencies like dance companies, arts venues and bands.  We were a couple of guys following our dreams without a clue as to what was coming next.

What I clearly recall, and many of our friends do as well, is that Hugh has always been the Hugh you see on TV today.  He always remembered your name, he always had time to stop for a chat and say hi, he was always professional and on time and he was the most talented person at WAAPA, and we all knew it.  So it was no surprise to us to see Hugh’s career take off straight out of college and it was with great pride that we saw Hugh take the world by storm, moving from Australian TV and movies to the West End in London, to Hollywood, to Broadway and back to Hollywood, winning awards and critical acclaim along the way.

Of course Hugh is most famous for his role in the X-Men Series as Wolverine, which has made him a household name around the world over the past seventeen years.  On March 3 this year, the movie Logan was released, the last movie in which Hugh will play this iconic character.  Before the release 21st Century Fox offered local TV stations across the US the chance to find their biggest “Wolvie” and send that person to New York  to meet and interview Hugh in person.  Seeing this I immediately jumped at the chance and submitted my video application, and what do you know?  I won! 😉

So off to NYC I go thanks to Komo 4 News entertainment reporter Scott Carty. Folks, follow Scott, he’s one of the good guys and he literally made this dream come true for me.

The big day came long, but before I get to interview Hugh, Scott and I met and interviewed Hugh’s co-stars, Sir Patrick Stewart and Boyd Holbrook (pictured below), as well and Logan director James Mangold, all of whom were fantastic, but hey, as you can imagine meeting Sir Patrick Stewart was pretty special!

Then it was time for me to enter the door marked Hugh Jackman.  I knew his team had given him the heads up that an old Academy friend was about to come interview him.  The door opened from the inside, and as the person before me left I could see Hugh standing in the middle of the room, hands on hips looking to see who was coming into the room and I immediately thought, great this will be awesome if he doesn’t remember me.  But in true Hugh Jackman style when I got into the room he recognized me and let out a big “Ryan! Wow it’s been a long time mate, how are you?”  We had about a minute and half to connect before his team ushered us to our seats and sadly this quick chat was not captured on film but it was just a couple of Aussie mates remembering a few times they had back in the day along with a laugh or two about them.

The rest, as they say, is history as it was all captured in the interview and my reaction to it in Scott’s interview of me after I met with Hugh.  It really is a rare thing to meet and befriend someone, then they go on to be world famous, and then years later you get to reconnect and basically check in.  I think I speak for everyone who knew Hugh at WAAPA in saying we have been so immensely proud of his achievements, we’ve ridden the journey with him, wishing him more and more success.  He was living our dreams and we quietly lived that experience with him from afar, at least one of us made it!  From his first TV show and him meeting Deb, to his Tony on Broadway for The Boy From Oz, to having his two kids, to hosting the Academy Awards, to starting a fair trade coffee company we’ve followed his journey.  What Hugh Jackman doesn’t know is how much joy that’s given us, so for that I say thank you my friend, may your star continue to shine brightly, you were the one my friend, no one deserves it more.

Here’s the interview!

Below is Scott’s video of my journey to NYC, my full interview with Hugh and Scott’s interview with me after.  Again, Scott, thank you for this opportunity.

And here are my two favorite trailers for the movie Logan…

London Is Calling And So Did Virgin Atlantic!

 

I’m very excited to be headed to London in two weeks to experience Virgin Atlantic‘s inaugural flight from London to Seattle! I am also stoked to be able to enjoy London for a few days before the flight. It’s been cough, um, cough, 21 years since I was in London last so I’m guessing a few things have changed.  That’s where you guys come in, I’d love to know what you recommend I do and see during my free time.  Please comment on my two social posts with your suggestions, choose Facebook or Twitter.

As someone who has traveled the world I’m pretty excited to experience Virgin Atlantic’s Upper Class on one of their Dreamliners.  As you can see in the video below the experience from your door to when you land is simply incredible.  It’s pretty safe to say that I’ve never traveled this way before so it’s an experience I can’t wait to have.  Additionally, Virgin is renowned for doing something special on their inaugural flights so I’m pumped to see what they do this time.

Of course I’m not going alone.  I will be sharing the entire trip with fellow Reinmakers, Joanna Hawley, Cassandra LaValle, Carolyn Yuen Marino, Charles Koh and Rebecca (BloggerNotBillionaire), all pictured with me below at the kick-off event in January.  Remember, please share your London tips with me on Facebook and Twitter and Seattleites book your trip to London now!

Which of These 3 Issues is The Most Important To You?

Back in 2015 the very successful story curator UPWORTHY asked it’s quite large audience this very important question.

“…we asked you what you felt were the most important topics: the big issues of our day that deserve more focus and attention than they generally receive in the media.”

They then narrowed down the responses to three.  Just three.  This list was made a couple of years ago and the world feels like a very different place now. Do you agree that these are still the three most important issues? I wonder which one of the three you guys think is the most important in today’s climate?  Let’s try and narrow it down from three to one and identify if there’s another issue you think should be in the mix.  Please tweet or post in the comments below which one resonates most with you or what else should be added.

Issues

#1 Climate Change and Clean Energy

Topic 1

#2 Income Inequality and Poverty

Topic 2

 

#3 Human Rights

Topic 3

 

Do you think there are issues more important now that than these three? What are they? Post below…. (If you’re viewing this from my main feed click on the title to access the comments section.

Instagram: Get excited about photography again.

Instagram

A few years ago something had changed in me.  For most of my life I’d been seeing the world through a lens and I was always looking for that great shot.  But I realized I’d stopped taking photos.  In fact I’ve barely been interested in even taking shots of family, friends or even of my travels… for me this was almost a shocking realization.  Photography was my creativity.  Was I no longer creative?

When my daughter Jemma was born in 2011 the camera starting finding it’s way back into my hands but I was still pretty disinterested in photography as a hobby.  Then I found Instagram.  Now you would think that an iPhone app would not be the catalyst for me getting back into a hobby that I have enjoyed since primary school (elementary school in the US).  At the age of eleven I ran the school dark room, mixing chemicals and agitating film by hand.  Instagram and iPhones seem like a different life from those days.  Such is the change that we have seen in our lives already, and I’m only 40! 😉

Instagram

Instagram Inspiration

So I had this iPhone thingy and then I saw all the cool kids posting great pics with filters and it got my interest.  I may have been a little late to the party but I’ve definitely made up for it over recent years.  I was inspired to buy a new camera and the excitement of getting a great shot came back again.  It’s like meeting an old friend after not seeing them for a couple of years…  What’s been really crazy is the amount of people I would now consider a friend (either in real life or virtually) based on our Instagram interactions. Being so into travel photography I’ve been able to tap into an incredible community on Instagram and learn and be inspired by so many other talented people.   So here’s a few Instagram pics of mine… If you’d like you can connect with me on Instagram I’m at ryanintheus.

 I don't often post happy snaps but this one kinda just had to be posted. Everyone meet Steve, he's a Koala, but he's not a bear. Most people think Koala's are bears but they actually aren't. I also posted this pic because I love traveling with my daughter Jem and seeing her excitement for learning and experiencing. Kids can be a great reminder for us adults to not forget that thrill and joy that comes with being so open to new things. Us old fuddy duddies can forget the point and get too stuck in our worlds sometimes. Traveling with Jem awakens the kid in me and we have a blast together.  This is just a photo of a forest right? Yep, but it's so much more. Its life, its death, its a fight for success, its single focused achievement, its health, its man's impact on nature, its aging, its rebirth, its youth, its strategy, its beauty... We think our lives as humans are so unique and elevated somehow above other living things, but we forget that we are nature and that our challenges and even our journey as humans aren't unique at all. If we're smart we'd turn to nature to find the answers we seek and we'd protect it with all our might. What do you see?  If you Google adventure here's what it says: an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. Someone please check the adventure box on the Olomana Hike on Oahu, Hawaii! ✅ This is the type of hike I love. I've done harder, I've done longer. I've done more dangerous. But this hike literally has it all in one hike. Mud, tree roots, too many rope climbs to remember, a rock wall you have to climb, sheer drop offs on both sides, and 360 degree views with incredible photo opps. Add to that, not two but three separate peaks to climb and you have one fun adventure on your hands. Oh if you want to increase the level of difficulty just add a downpour to your descent to maximize your adventure level. It's definitely one of my favorite hikes in recent times. For those who've done it, no I didn't bag the third peak shown in this pic. Sadly time was against me and the rain was coming and it just didn't sound like a smart or safe idea. Had to exercise my letting go of goals technique but I certainly enjoyed this view from the second peak. What are some of your favorite hikes that qualify in the adventure category? ⛰ . . . . . . . #FeedYourAdventure #awakethesoul #collectivelycreate #iflyalaska #awesome_earthpix #lifeofadventure #wildernessculture #ourcamplife #northwestcreatives #adventurenthusiasts #beautifuldestinations #visualsoflife #nature #visualsofearth #keepitwild #oahu #bestvacations #moodygrams #ourplanetdaily #earthfocus #adventureconwards #ourplanetdaily #oahuhawaii #liveadventurously #exklusive_shot #campvibes #roamtheplanet #folkscenery #hawaii #theadventureproject @ourplanetdaily @wildernessnation @ourcamplife  "You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner.

 Has anyone read Richard Bach's novel "One"? In it a couple flying their plane hit an electrical storm and find themselves over the ocean with patterns of light underneath them. Every time they land their plane they are transported to a different reality based on them having made different choices in their life. It's an intriguing book but it seemed really relevant as I was flying out of Brisbane the other day heading towards Perth where I grew it up. The beautiful patterns of the sand bars visually reminded me of the book but my mind wandered to the choices that I've made that resulted in me being in that seat, on that plane. Returning to a place you called home for 34 years and now isn't your home, returning to see family and friends you rarely get to interact with, it's like heading back in time where old narratives come up to remind you of your decisions, your faults, your strengths, your losses, your growth and so on. Themes of surrender, acceptance, self love, and new positive narratives are what I'm moving through and its pretty darn nice to be in a place where you can see it all and let go of the negative and embrace the positive. Here's to landing in a world where you made great choices! . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill  Sometimes if you just go for it great things can happen. You can even surprise yourself. This pic of me enjoying the view from near the summit of Mt Rainier captures a moment where I had blown my own mind. I was marveling at the fact that I had summited one of the great mountains in the United States, without a single days training! Now I'm certainly not recommending that this is a good strategy, because I'm living proof that it wasn't because I've never been in more pain in the coming days in my life. But, I did will myself to the top and down again, about 9,000 feet in altitude gain, when I truly didn't have what it took to do that. I had been training for half marathons and hadn't hiked one single hill even in three months when I got an opportunity to join a team which I took just three days before the climb. Little did I know that I'd have to utilize every ounce of determination I had to get this done. Half way up we had a ten minute break, nine minutes of which I thought I was turning back, the last minute was the only minute I even thought about continuing, the last ten seconds I decided to keep going. I'm so glad I did. Despite the ridiculous pain afterwards caused by climbing one of the biggest mountains in continental US off the couch, it's now one of my favorite memories. Everyone told me not to do it. I told myself half way up that I was mad. But in the end the courage to search myself to find the grit to keep going that day is one of my proudest achievements. It was a defining moment for me in terms of what I'm made of and what I can achieve. It redefined my own sense of self. Next time however, I'm going to train for it that's for sure! ⛰ . . . . . . . . . #selfhelp #subconsciousmind #selfdevelopment #improveyourself #selfimprovement #confidence #anxietyhelp #lifecoach #motivationalspeaker #selftalk #peptalk #lonely #loneliness #love #motivational #quotes #authentic #selflove #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #spiritual #coaching #lifecoaching #lifechanging #relationshipquotes #truth #inspirationdaily #consciousness #quotestoliveby #honesty  I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world. No matter what is going on in my life, whether I'm having a great run or a shitty run of things, I get to be this wonderful girl's father, and nothing beats that! Never did I think that through divorce four years ago would I develop a bond as close as the one Jemma and I have now. For 50% of her time I'm everything, I'm the one who cooks, cleans, does the washing, helps her with her reading, buys here clothes, takes her skiing, clips her nails, bathes her, pics her up and drops her off from school, etc... I get to do everything, and it rocks! Because I have no family in the U.S. it's just Jem and I and the bond we've created because of the focus that situation creates is the most amazing thing in my life. And I'm not even at the best part, who she is. She is the kindest, funniest, prankster, smarty pants and beautiful angel I've ever met. Sometimes I just sit and watch her and I can't believe I got so lucky. It just puts everything into perspective. I am so very grateful. I'm also very grateful to my mate @traviswals for taking this incredible shot of us. It's pure gold!
 For me there's not much that beats the thrill of exploring. I remember being 21 and sitting down with my parents for dinner and telling them that I was going to backpack solo around the world and seeing their looks of horror. They had the same looks on their faces each time I sat down to tell them about similar plans to move across Australia to Sydney, travel through Tibet, move across Australia again to Byron Bay, move to the US! It also happened when they saw photos of me rock climbing, or hanging out of a helicopter, or even doing half marathons and multi day backpacking hikes into the back country post 40! The point is you do you. If I had lived life trying not to scare my parents my life would have been undeniably less rewarding and I would have missed so many incredible moments where I truly felt alive because I was doing what fuelled me! Moments when I was sucking the marrow out of life as Mr Keating put it in Dead Poets Society. Carpe diem my friends. Seize the day! . . . . . . . . . . #FeedYourAdventure #awakethesoul #collectivelycreate #iflyalaska #awesome_earthpix #lifeofadventure #wildernessculture #ourcamplife #northwestcreatives #adventurenthusiasts #beautifuldestinations #visualsoflife #nature #visualsofearth #keepitwild #lensbible #bestvacations #moodygrams #ourplanetdaily #earthfocus #adventureconwards #ourplanetdaily #thevisualscollective #liveadventurously #exklusive_shot #campvibes #roamtheplanet #folkscenery #whereItravel #theadventureproject @ourplanetdaily @wildernessnation @ourcamplife  The early bird(s) capture the worm. I wasn't alone on a recent sunrise hike to the Lanikai Pill Boxes on Oahu but instead of feeling annoyed that there were so many people on the hike I actually loved the energy everyone shared. As the sun started to color the sky there was a real sense of excitement, our shared desire to experience a beautiful scene created by nature bonded us together. We were from all walks of life, from all over the world, happilly and peacefully enjoying a moment together. If only humanity could come together like this more often and ignore our differences! I hope you enjoy the scene like we did. ☮✌ . . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill  Sometimes in life you just don't know what's around the corner, both in terms of positives things and challenging things. On this drive around Oahu a storm dumped a ton of water onto the island quickly which changed a day of fun sightseeing around the island into an unexpectedly challenging and long day with water crossings and closed roads due to flooding. I feel like that's such a metaphor for life. You feel like you're cruising along in a great place and then everything can change in an instant and you have to navigate a different course to your goal. The key is keeping your eyes on the destination without getting too attached to the path you were on. It's not so easy sometimes but life throws curve balls, it's how you react to them that determines your success. Also though if you're open to it, you can find the beauty in that process, just like the beauty in these mountains and waterfalls in the storm. Good luck with those curve balls friends!
 Happy 7th Birthday to the most amazing daughter a father could ever have. I love you more than words could possibly express Bug. I savor every time you hug me, hold my hand, snuggle next to me on the couch or give me cuddles before bed. I love nothing more than when you get that twinkle in your eye and you start to tell a joke or dance or fool around and we end up laughing our heads off together. All of it is magic to me. I hope your eighth year is full of wonder, laughter and learning, all of which I can't wait to share with you! You're the best.   @traviswals  Trains are pretty interesting to me because their path is set, they can only go where those tracks allow them to. There's something easy about that, about having your destination set for you. But that's not how life is. As I move through being a dad, running my own business, trying to have meaningful and connected relationships across the relationship spectrum I find the path to balance increasingly ambiguous. I get one area right and another suffers and takes a backward step. I find myself having less patience for things that take up my time needlessly. Things like drama, indecisiveness, ambiguity. I find that I'm becoming more and more direct while still trying to be respectful, and I find myself thinking a lot about intentionally laying the tracks to my desired destination and realizing that is never going to be perfect. Never. But it still can be great. It actually is great. It's great because when I take a moment to look back, instead of forward, I realize how much I've achieved. We can be so hard on ourselves looking forward when really sometimes we need to look back and acknowledge the work we've done. I'm learning to be kind to myself. It doesn't come easily as I'm sure many of you can relate to. But I think it's just as important as any other work you do on yourself. I hope you'll take a minute right now and acknowledge what you've achieved and give yourself some kindness. I'm sure you deserve it!  . . . . . . . . #selfhelp #subconsciousmind #selfdevelopment #improveyourself #selfimprovement #confidence #anxietyhelp #lifecoach #motivationalspeaker #selftalk #peptalk #lonely #loneliness #love #motivational #quotes #authentic #selflove #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #spiritual #coaching #lifecoaching #lifechanging #relationshipquotes #truth #inspirationdaily #consciousness #quotestoliveby #honesty  Security is one notion that I love to dig into. What is it? Why do we crave it? I've challenged myself to experience life in a way that ignores security for the most part, well the part that is fear, as opposed to the past that keeps us alive. Whether it be the security of a good job, home or relationship I've always tried to expand my world beyond my desire for security. But now that I'm, cough, well into my 40's I find myself reevaluating what the word means to me and why. It's encouraging me to accept the phases we move through in life and the one I'm in now. To acknowledge that a home, a life partner to share most of my time with, making sure I come home safely from my adventures to be a dad to my daughter, etc are things I'd like to have/do now because I'm in this new phase. They feel less like social compliance now, more like my choice for where I'm at. My adventures in nature may be scaling back but my adventures internally, learning, loving and growing, have never been more bolder! . . . . . . . . #FeedYourAdventure #awakethesoul #collectivelycreate #iflyalaska #awesome_earthpix #lifeofadventure #wildernessculture #ourcamplife #northwestcreatives #adventurenthusiasts #beautifuldestinations #visualsoflife #nature #visualsofearth #keepitwild #lensbible #bestvacations #moodygrams #ourplanetdaily #earthfocus #adventureconwards #ourplanetdaily #thevisualscollective #liveadventurously #exklusive_shot #campvibes #roamtheplanet #folkscenery #artofvisuals #theadventureproject
 I've written about nature and what we can learn from it often but sadly we humans aren't as smart as we think we are. Nature's wisdom, which I see in the photo, is lost on us on too many occasions. A hot topic right now are these mass shootings. . Did you know that 94% off mass shootings are carried out by males... I've been saying for a long time that we have it all wrong when it comes to how to raise boys. · The image we portray to boys of men is that being emotionless is strong. It's the opposite! · When are we going to sufficiently invest in boys to raise men who are emotionally equipped to handle all aspects of life? . We have to take a fresh look at how we portray what a man is in our society and then how we educate, reward and insensitive our boys as they grow up. We need a fundamental shift in what attributes make up being a man and can we please completely eradicate the term "man up"? The connotations of this phrase disgust me. To me, with equality being something on most of our minds (should be all) maybe we need to start thinking of it terms of raising men to finally be the equal of women! . . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill  Sometimes walking the right path for you isn't the path others want you to tread. It takes real courage to be completely true to yourself and to follow the path that leads to what YOU want in life. Sometimes it feels like you're in the sun and it's easy. And sometimes you're in the shadows and it feels like you're letting people down. But the truth is you only fail when you let yourself down. When you stay true to you and reach your goal it's a pretty awesome place to be because you did you and that's going to feel % right every time.  . . . . . . . #FeedYourAdventure #awakethesoul #collectivelycreate #iflyalaska #awesome_earthpix #lifeofadventure #wildernessculture #ourcamplife #northwestcreatives #adventurenthusiasts #beautifuldestinations #visualsoflife #nature #visualsofearth #keepitwild #lensbible #bestvacations #moodygrams #ourplanetdaily #earthfocus #adventureconwards #ourplanetdaily #thevisualscollective #liveadventurously #exklusive_shot #campvibes #roamtheplanet #folkscenery #whereItravel #theadventureproject @ourplanetdaily @wildernessnation @ourcamplife  Humans have created all sorts of signs to help us navigate our path successfully through life. They are an attempt to help us avoid making the same mistakes that others have made in the past. But some of life's big choices don't come with a lighthouse telling us which way to go, or not to go. They are the moments in life when the path could not be more unclear, the implications taking us on very different journeys that will shape our future and potentially those we care about. Those are the decisions we must not rush. We must sit with them, teasing out all the factors until we find the answer within ourselves over time. The answers to these types of questions have nothing to do with anyone else. So do not rush and look for a sign that doesn't exist trying to find the easy way out, face the challenge, dig deep and confront your fears and define your hopes, it's the only way. . . . . . . . . #meetthemoment #keepitcontagious #igtravels #takemebackpacking #wanderthemap #travelbreak #travelwithfathom #travelmag #jetsetters #lifeofadventures #traveltheword #globetrotters #WhereITravel #travelingishappiness #departedoutdoors #outdoorist #idratherbeinnature #adventureislife #liveauthentically #lifeauthentic #featuremyworld #mynature #exploremore #roundtheworld #dream_spots #getoutside #alwaysgo #letswander #oahu #beautifulexplorers
 Even in the darkest of hours there is light. While I think it's really important to acknowledge when things are really challenging in your life and you feel that desperate feeling (we all know that can't breath, suffocating kind of panic feeling) it's also important to focus on the glimmers of light that penetrate your darkness. These rays of light are your path back. Day by day they grow brighter, sometimes we take a step or two back but that's ok, we know the light will work it's way back and show us the way. The light is obviously different for everyone, but it's the universal truth that we can all believe in. .

In nature, at work, and in our lives. Stopping and taking a hard look at the patterns in our life help us to build on the things we're doing right and the things we need to improve. If we see a pattern of negative results where we want a positive outcome we have to dig into that and unpack the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the reasons why we make the choices we make. It's not fun work but so necessary for life. It reminds me of Albert Einstein's quote... “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill  We are funny creatures. How often do we hold onto goals we've designed for ourselves to achieve in the future, only to derail our happiness today? And isn't it funny how attached we get to those goals even when they start to not make sense? Actually it's not that funny. Goals are great don't get me wrong, but when they result in you living your whole life for tomorrow, you miss the wonderful opportunities that present themselves today. You miss the joy of being present. And the benefits of true connection with others. In life there is the truth and then there's what we think the truth is. Sometimes, like a beautiful reflection, we can't perceive what is real and what is not. What is real is today. My advice... Enjoy it!  . . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill

Change by Chapters

I’ve been thinking about change and the role it plays in our life after having a chat with a good friend recently and these words keep rolling around my head…  “There will be many chapters in your life.  Don’t get lost in the one you’re in now.”

I think sometimes we get lost in the reality of our life today, and we forget that change is actually the only constant, not our current situation (although sometimes it can feel that way).   I thought to share this as I think many of us despair at how things are now, this can be a reminder that we have the ability to write new chapters for ourselves and that new chapters are indeed coming our way.

Fremantle Dockers: My Team – #foreverfreo

Fremantle DockersMany of us who enjoy sports are drawn to teams we think reflect us.  That team for me is the Fremantle Dockers.  Affectionally known as Freo, the Fremantle Dockers represent the grit of the hardworking people that live in the Port of Fremantle area.  That same grit can be found in my father who grew up in East Fremantle.  Consequently he instilled in me the value of hard work and not to be afraid of being the underdog… in fact we kind of like it.

I’m a long way from Fremantle these days, living in Seattle, USA and now also a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks.  The link for me between the Australian Football League (AFL) and the NFL here in the US is Darren Bennett.  One of my earliest memories is of my dad and I watching our local Aussie Rules football team, the East Fremantle Sharks and watching a young Darren Bennett take control of the game with awesome kicking for goal.  That guy went on to play for the San Diego Chargers and was a two time Pro Bowler (1995, 2000), and was honored be being selected in the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade Team and was inducted into the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame.  Not bad for a boy from Freo.

When I watched that game the idea of having a Fremantle team in the AFL hadn’t even crossed my mind.  Nor had the idea that I would one day live on the other side of the world. It has been the grit, determination and a healthy dose of adventure that I’m where I am today, and it’s those qualities that see Freo off to the best start to a season in club history, 8-0.  But what a long roads it’s been for this perennial underdog.  Those of us who jumped on to support the team from day one of the Fremantle Dockers know what I mean.  As do the fans of the Seahawks.  Both teams have struggled badly at times.  But not any longer.

Two years ago when the Seahawks won their first SuperBowl the Dockers reached, but sadly lost their first Grand Final in front of 100,000 people.

It’s in the the trials and tribulations of supporting a team that hasn’t been a successful club that one finds the value when that team turns from being the underdog to being the best.  And what a feeling it is for us fans.  All the disappointment, frustration turns into ecstasy, jubilation and our loyalty is repaid in spades.   But what I love most about the Dockers is not that they are wining now, but that while the talent of the team has wained at times the commitment has not.  That’s the grit.  You can see it in this video that spans the life of the Dockers, from day one.

At 8-0 maybe this is the year for Freo, I certainly hope so, but regardless of whether they win big prize this year I’m in for life. #foreverfreo

 I don't often post happy snaps but this one kinda just had to be posted. Everyone meet Steve, he's a Koala, but he's not a bear. Most people think Koala's are bears but they actually aren't. I also posted this pic because I love traveling with my daughter Jem and seeing her excitement for learning and experiencing. Kids can be a great reminder for us adults to not forget that thrill and joy that comes with being so open to new things. Us old fuddy duddies can forget the point and get too stuck in our worlds sometimes. Traveling with Jem awakens the kid in me and we have a blast together.  For me there's not much that beats the thrill of exploring. I remember being 21 and sitting down with my parents for dinner and telling them that I was going to backpack solo around the world and seeing their looks of horror. They had the same looks on their faces each time I sat down to tell them about similar plans to move across Australia to Sydney, travel through Tibet, move across Australia again to Byron Bay, move to the US! It also happened when they saw photos of me rock climbing, or hanging out of a helicopter, or even doing half marathons and multi day backpacking hikes into the back country post 40! The point is you do you. If I had lived life trying not to scare my parents my life would have been undeniably less rewarding and I would have missed so many incredible moments where I truly felt alive because I was doing what fuelled me! Moments when I was sucking the marrow out of life as Mr Keating put it in Dead Poets Society. Carpe diem my friends.

Yep, but it's so much more. Its life, its death, its a fight for success, its single focused achievement, its health, its man's impact on nature, its aging, its rebirth, its youth, its strategy, its beauty... We think our lives as humans are so unique and elevated somehow above other living things, but we forget that we are nature and that our challenges and even our journey as humans aren't unique at all. If we're smart we'd turn to nature to find the answers we seek and we'd protect it with all our might. What do you see?  The early bird(s) capture the worm. I wasn't alone on a recent sunrise hike to the Lanikai Pill Boxes on Oahu but instead of feeling annoyed that there were so many people on the hike I actually loved the energy everyone shared. As the sun started to color the sky there was a real sense of excitement, our shared desire to experience a beautiful scene created by nature bonded us together. We were from all walks of life, from all over the world, happilly and peacefully enjoying a moment together. If only humanity could come together like this more often and ignore our differences! I hope you enjoy the scene like we did. ☮✌ . . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill
 Has anyone read Richard Bach's novel "One"? In it a couple flying their plane hit an electrical storm and find themselves over the ocean with patterns of light underneath them. Every time they land their plane they are transported to a different reality based on them having made different choices in their life. It's an intriguing book but it seemed really relevant as I was flying out of Brisbane the other day heading towards Perth where I grew it up. The beautiful patterns of the sand bars visually reminded me of the book but my mind wandered to the choices that I've made that resulted in me being in that seat, on that plane. Returning to a place you called home for 34 years and now isn't your home, returning to see family and friends you rarely get to interact with, it's like heading back in time where old narratives come up to remind you of your decisions, your faults, your strengths, your losses, your growth and so on. Themes of surrender, acceptance, self love, and new positive narratives are what I'm moving through and its pretty darn nice to be in a place where you can see it all and let go of the negative and embrace the positive. Here's to landing in a world where you made great choices! . . . . . . . . #weekly_feature #TheLensBible #fartoodope #usaprimeshot #igmasters #ig_color #hbouthere #communityfirst #moodygrams #createexplore #BeautifulDestinations #launchdsigns #exploreeverything #master_shots #ig_mood #splendid_shotz #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #hot_shotz #earthpix #instagood #thecreatorclass #theimaged #ig_masterpiece #heatercentral #BleachMyFilm #createcommune #transfer_visions #way2ill  Happy 7th Birthday to the most amazing daughter a father could ever have. I love you more than words could possibly express Bug. I savor every time you hug me, hold my hand, snuggle next to me on the couch or give me cuddles before bed. I love nothing more than when you get that twinkle in your eye and you start to tell a joke or dance or fool around and we end up laughing our heads off together. All of it is magic to me. I hope your eighth year is full of wonder, laughter and learning, all of which I can't wait to share with you! You're the best.   @traviswals  Even in the darkest of hours there is light.

You can even surprise yourself. This pic of me enjoying the view from near the summit of Mt Rainier captures a moment where I had blown my own mind. I was marveling at the fact that I had summited one of the great mountains in the United States, without a single days training! Now I'm certainly not recommending that this is a good strategy, because I'm living proof that it wasn't because I've never been in more pain in the coming days in my life. But, I did will myself to the top and down again, about 9,000 feet in altitude gain, when I truly didn't have what it took to do that. I had been training for half marathons and hadn't hiked one single hill even in three months when I got an opportunity to join a team which I took just three days before the climb. Little did I know that I'd have to utilize every ounce of determination I had to get this done. Half way up we had a ten minute break, nine minutes of which I thought I was turning back, the last minute was the only minute I even thought about continuing, the last ten seconds I decided to keep going. I'm so glad I did. Despite the ridiculous pain afterwards caused by climbing one of the biggest mountains in continental US off the couch, it's now one of my favorite memories. Everyone told me not to do it. I told myself half way up that I was mad. But in the end the courage to search myself to find the grit to keep going that day is one of my proudest achievements. It was a defining moment for me in terms of what I'm made of and what I can achieve. It redefined my own sense of self. Next time however, I'm going to train for it that's for sure! ⛰ . . . . . . . . . #selfhelp #subconsciousmind #selfdevelopment #improveyourself #selfimprovement #confidence #anxietyhelp #lifecoach #motivationalspeaker #selftalk #peptalk #lonely #loneliness #love #motivational #quotes #authentic #selflove #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #spiritual #coaching #lifecoaching #lifechanging #relationshipquotes #truth #inspirationdaily #consciousness #quotestoliveby #honesty  Trains are pretty interesting to me because their path is set, they can only go where those tracks allow them to. There's something easy about that, about having your destination set for you. But that's not how life is. As I move through being a dad, running my own business, trying to have meaningful and connected relationships across the relationship spectrum I find the path to balance increasingly ambiguous. I get one area right and another suffers and takes a backward step. I find myself having less patience for things that take up my time needlessly. Things like drama, indecisiveness, ambiguity. I find that I'm becoming more and more direct while still trying to be respectful, and I find myself thinking a lot about intentionally laying the tracks to my desired destination and realizing that is never going to be perfect. Never. But it still can be great. It actually is great. It's great because when I take a moment to look back, instead of forward, I realize how much I've achieved. We can be so hard on ourselves looking forward when really sometimes we need to look back and acknowledge the work we've done. I'm learning to be kind to myself. It doesn't come easily as I'm sure many of you can relate to. But I think it's just as important as any other work you do on yourself. I hope you'll take a minute right now and acknowledge what you've achieved and give yourself some kindness. I'm sure you deserve it!  . . . . . . . . #selfhelp #subconsciousmind #selfdevelopment #improveyourself #selfimprovement #confidence #anxietyhelp #lifecoach #motivationalspeaker #selftalk #peptalk #lonely #loneliness #love #motivational #quotes #authentic #selflove #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #spiritual #coaching #lifecoaching #lifechanging #relationshipquotes #truth #inspirationdaily #consciousness #quotestoliveby #honesty
