Holistic Hybrid 🌞

Instructions Before Visiting Earth: In the event that you wake up and find your soul separated from source and manifest into material form, don’t panic. Your condition is only temporary. You have been selected for the opportunity of human incarnation. This 3D simulation is designed to break up the monotony of eternity by giving you a fully immersive experience as a distinct ego identity. Your body will serve as your physical avatar as you navigate a dense and dramatic reality. There will be many distractions causing you to forget your true nature and origin. You will experience a range of emotions from joy to loneliness to despair. But remember – no matter what trials and traumas you encounter, your soul remains perfectly safe. At times you may feel lost or afraid. This is totally normal. If you ever need guidance, simply slow down your busy mind and bring your awareness to the quiet place inside yourself. On this planet, nothing is permanent. People and things will come and go. You will fall in love and form sentimental attachments only to lose everything you hold dear. So cling to nothing too tightly, even yourself, and when it’s time to let go, let go with grace, for nothing is owned, only borrowed. As you walk among the people on the planet, try to be a good guest. Tread lightly. Remember that you are only visiting. Don’t make a mess. Listen more than you speak. Give more than you take. Don’t keep your soft heart locked inside a glass cage, protected from wear and tear. You’ll never make it out alive and time passes quickly. So come back with some battle scars and good stories to tell. — James McCrae

True story

Go hit the waterfall with your mates

Simplify nutrition. Today’s lunch: grass fed steak, bone marrow, red rice, mashed potato, beef liver

Operation health & vitality continues. How’s yours going?

Classical music and pistons is all you need sometimes

You’re the average of the five people you spend most time with so make damn sure who those people are

Embrace the cringe, and discomfort

Back to basics

You can just wake up one day and decide to go on a long run:

Find friends that do this at the beach

We can tap into it at anytime

- “Who’s the God?” - “You are.”

Most people think ultras are about learning to suffer harder. They’re not. They’re about learning when to soften. When to slow down. When to stop fighting the day and start listening to it. Walking isn’t failure. It’s the moment the nervous system settles and the path opens again. Master walking, and distance stops feeling hostile and out of reach.

Spiritual quests in Egypts White Desert

Some experiences don’t shout. They whisper — and change you anyway. Four days moving through an ancient landscape. At your pace. With full support. The desert strips things back until what’s left is usable. People don’t come home talking about kilometres. They come home more grounded. That’s the point. White Desert Ultra. Last 5 spots.

It’s extremely difficult to have a shit day when you start it with the sunrise, breathwork, run, and ocean dip. Stack positive habits.

2025 was the most expansive year of my life. In January, I moved to a small beach town in Costa Rica on a complete whim and turned it into my home. I committed to posting on Instagram every single day for the first 33 days of the year, saw progress in the numbers, and more importantly experienced a profound shift in my relationship with how I was perceived by others and what I should or shouldn’t post online. In February, I travelled around Japan with my brother and parents, went skiing with two of my best mates from Australia, and experienced a completely novel culture and way of life. Presence and connection with loved ones will always come before business and digital growth. In March, I returned to Costa Rica and was invited by @paulinthejungle to live in a beautiful house in the jungle with other young entrepreneurs who became my family. Two weeks somehow turned into two months in that house. I launched The Distance Project and got 25 people in my first group coaching cohort - a huge win. Long-standing internal patterns of fear and self-judgment began to dissipate. I took a friend of mine, Josh, on his first ultramarathon - 51km with 2,500m of elevation gain - which he described as an ayahuasca trip. The furthest he’d run prior was 10km. In April, I summited Mount Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest mountain, with my mate Yostin. We climbed 2,800m and covered 21km in 5 hours and 50 minutes. Serious altitude sickness hit hard, and we were both viscerally reminded how much of a privilege it is to feel strong, fast, and capable in the mountains. On the descent, an old lower-back injury returned and put me through absolute misery. I began living off Bitcoin in my small town, paying for rent and groceries while being compensated by a handful of clients in the same currency. Organic market hauls, barefoot and shirtless gym sessions, heated ping-pong battles, morning breathwork sessions at the waterfall, family dinners, sunsets, and surfing with friends became the daily norm. Weekly ecstatic dance helped me unblock physical expression and creativity I had shut down for over a decade. (Full caption continued in the comments section below)

To fall asleep you must first pretend that you are asleep (and that’s how everything works)
