Perseverance Is More Than Endurance
Hi Guys, Happy Sunday. It’s been a wild week here in Reno. Snow, delays, packages stuck in UPS trailers since Monday. Frustrating? Sure. But small. Very small compared to the nine lives lost in the same storm just north of Donner Pass. That puts things in perspective. This morning I read one of my favorite devotions from My Utmost for His Highest, and...

It's What You Let In That Counts
Good morning, It’s what you let in that counts. That’s true in every area of life, but especially right now. We live in a loud world. Constant noise. Constant opinions. Constant input. One of the reasons I love my noise-canceling headphones is simple: THEY LET ME FOCUS. And honestly, that’s what most of us need in life, a big pair...

Want Less or Suffer More
Good morning, There are only two ways to live: You either suffer more - or you want less. Most of us try a third way. It doesn’t exist. This week has been one of the most mentally demanding stretches I’ve had in a long time. Early mornings. Hard conversations. Forcing clarity where fog used to live. Pulling things out of my...

Built For The Climb
Hi Friend, They say faith can move mountains. But as the Red Clay Strays put it, "I'm built for the climb." That line’s been sitting with me. There’s an old idea that if you’re doing the right thing, it should feel easy.That if you’re “in your calling,” the road should be smooth. That’s never been true. There’s a famous image of Sisyphus endlessly...

Release The Parking Brake
Hi Friend, Once you get started, you learn something important pretty quickly: The fastest way to go farther isn’t pushing harder, it’s removing friction. Here’s a picture most of us can relate to. You get in your car. You start driving. Something feels off. The engine’s working. You’re pressing the gas. But the car just isn’t moving the way it should....

Chunk It Down
Most people aren’t stuck because they’re lazy. They’re stuck because everything feels like too much. Too many decisions. Too many responsibilities. Too many roles running at the same time. When life gets heavy, the instinct is to push harder.But pressure doesn’t create progress, clarity does. Mark Twain said it best: “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.The secret of getting started...

Mode Classic - Walking The Talk In Washington
The Paleo Roadshow hasn’t traveled much in recent years. But when the opportunity came to support James Sprague at his inaugural Mode Classic in Liberty Lake, Washington, we signed o00n the line. It was an adventure to say the least. A good reminder that the joy is in the journey, not the destination.Happiness isn't found at the top of the hill, it's found in how...

The Odds Are Stacked Against Us
The odds are stacked against us. Yesterday, I learned of two other direct-to-consumer paleo brands that are transitioning out of the industry. That’s not uncommon. This business is hard. Really hard. We’ve done the research, and as far as we can tell, there has never been a direct-to-consumer meal company acquired by one of the big players. For many, the road...

It's The Start That Stops Most People
Most people don’t fail because they can’t finish. They fail because they never really start. It’s not the work that stops us, it’s the beginning. The hardest thing to get is going. We wait to feel ready.We wait for the right time.We wait for motivation to show up first. But motivation follows movement.Not the other way around. "Inspiration exists, but...

Slowly is the fastest way. Paleo Nick's in '26
Happy New Year! I’m not big on resolutions.They tend to burn hot and die fast. What I believe in is direction. By January 21st, nearly 90% of New Year’s resolutions are gone.Not because people don’t care, but because intensity fades when belief isn’t there. The steady ones win.The quiet ones endure.The ones who keep showing up change their lives. So here’s...

Choose Paleo Nick's in '26!
Happy New Year! I’ve always loved to write. Before Ice Age Meals ever existed, there were blog posts—hundreds of them. From 2011 to 2016, I wrote to encourage, to challenge, and to remind people that food matters… but so does belief. Then Ice Age Meals took off.The business grew.The writing took a back seat. But the love for words never...

Israeli Olive Oil and Real Salt Smoked New Zealand Venison Chops with Yams Gazan
Last week in Las Vegas, I linked up with the powerhouse herself, Alex Gazan. We trained, filmed, dined out at Amari… and in the final hours of the trip, we did what we do best:We threw down in the kitchen. Smoked New Zealand Venison Chops. Drizzled with Israeli Olive Oil from Omer’s grandpa’s farm. Sprinkled with Real Salt from Alex’s sponsor...

Be More In Twenty-Four!
Happy New Year from The IAMFAM! This year feels different. I haven't heard the term "New Year's Resolutions" even once. Other terms are popping up like goals and vision and purpose and the infamous "best version of myself". I think back to a decade ago when I'd publish my new year's post. It seemed like setting resolutions was a requirement...
