Patagonia vs. Donald Trump

Posted on

A little background before I get to the point.

In the mid-2000’s I started working for Crispin, Porter & Bogusky. A good buddy of mine that I raced Mt. Bikes in South Florida with (I know what you’re thinking… what mountains? Yeah, I’ve heard that a lot.) told me about one of his buddies that also did a lot of Mt. Biking. He also told me that buddy was Alex Bogusky, part owner of CP+B Ad Agency. To me, it was divine timing considering that I was looking for something better than just a J.O.B.. I wanted something that I could sink my teeth into and feel proud of.

I went down to Coconut Grove (Miami) where the company was at the time and was immediately hired. I felt right at home.

The reason I loved this place so much was, for the most part, Alex’s vision. I remember the company dumping Body Bags on the steps of Phillip Morris during their ‘Truth’ campaign. That was the campaign that had the biggest effect on me. The fact that an Ad Agency had the balls to take on big tobacco. HUGE! And me having worked for Greenpeace, Amnesty International, building cycling trails in my community… it was a natural fit.

When I was told that part of the company was going to move to Boulder, Colorado I jumped on it. Boulder… it’s like Mecca for cyclists. To this day, even though I don’t live there anymore, I claim it as my home. My buddy who had introduced me to Alex also ended moving his whole family out there where he becomes the worlds first (if I’m correct) Extreme Concierge. What is an Extreme Concierge? It’s a dude, well… my buddy, who we would call Macgyver. He could fix anything, create anything… he has that kind of mind that when you tell him he’s building it in his head. He would fix people’s bikes, he would wax snowboards and skis. There wasn’t anything that he can’t tackle… and Alex saw this in him. That’s what kind of a visionary Alex is.

When I asked Alex what gave him such inspiration he turned me on to a few people he respected, and one of those men was Yvon Chouinard.

I’m getting to my point…

Yvon wrote a book called, “Let my People Go Surfing.” It was a business book. It was a book on how to keep people happy and productive in a company, and it was a lot of how CP+B conducted business as well. I could see the similarities between CP+B and Patagonia. If you let people do what they do best, give them the environment to do it, they will take ownership. And that is the key to anything, I think. When it becomes personal, you own it. It’s no longer a job.

My Point…

Below is an article in GQ written by Rosecrans Baldwin. He interviewed Yvon. Yvon is suing the White House right now and I think you deserve to know why. This isn’t left-wing propaganda. This isn’t some company saying that the Trump administration is screwing them out of profits. This is a war against an administration that is taking public lands and what one company is willing to do to stop them.

Please read this and feel free to comment after you’ve read it. All of it.
Peace,
David

Change

Posted on

Welcome to Friday, April 6th which is a 3 in Numerology.

Today’s card is 2 of Disks. Change. Combined with today’s 3 energy of Growth and Expansion, today is an amazing day to recognize it!

Look at the card. See the Yin/Yang symbol in it? This is telling us that there always needs to be a balance. With every positive, there needs to be an equal negative. As we grow in our consciousness we have to embrace the heartbreak, the ‘bad things’ that are happening to us as part of that growth. We have to remind ourselves that we still live in this 3D realm and that in this realm change is inevitable. We can go kicking and screaming, or we can move along peacefully and make the change for ourselves instead of having things change for us.

Remember in my previous blog where I said that I didn’t want to get hit by cars anymore? I was allowing change to happen ‘to’ me instead of me making the change myself. We all know when it’s time to change. We feel it inside of us. Most of us deny. Be brush it off as something we don’t want to look at and maybe it will go away.

We have to trust that the Universe has our highest and best interest. We are not here on this plane to be victims of some vindictive god who punishes us, no more than a parent wants to help and nurture their children.

Today I want you to allow change to happen in your life. Feel what it feels like to accept that change. Know that it has your back and that it will bring you to the next level in your life, even if it looks like it’s going to suck. Trust the Universe.

Today’s song is ‘Change’ by Tears for Fears.

“When it’s all too late. It’s all too late. Change. You can Change.”

Pride

Posted on

Welcome to Thursday, April 5th which is a 2 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the Hermit. This card is about looking inward. Looking at the puzzle and using our intuition, self-reflection, and self-realization. Combined with the energy of today’s 2 of longing to return to unity it is telling us to look for the unity within ourselves. Father/Mother/God, Conscious/Subconscious/Superconscious, however, you view the trine of self.

Yesterday, with the Emperor, we stood up for what we believed in. We said that what we feel, who we are, and what we are doing is valid. So today we go inward and reflect on that.

What do we want? Where are we going?

If we had zero financial limitations what would we dream for ourselves?

Martin Luther King had a dream, a dream that he died for. What are you willing to die for? What is your highest purpose here on this planet? Is it to have a miserable job to get some money to buy stuff that you think will make you happy? Remember, money is energy. It’s an exchange. Look deep inside of yourself today, in that intricate puzzle of self and ask yourself if you are being compensated enough for your worth.

If you say that you are not, then it is time for you to put your foot down and start demanding your worth. Once you do this people will look at you differently. They will start asking themselves the same question. This is where leaders are born.

Today’s song is ‘Pride’ by U2.

“Free at last. They took your life. They could not take your Pride.”

Do you believe in what you see?

Posted on

Welcome to Wednesday, April 4th which is a 1 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the Emperor. He stands for Law and Order. He is the abstraction of establishment, it’s stability and security. Combined with the energy of the 1; Justice for all, Leadership, Independence and New Beginnings. Today is a day to be firm in your conviction. You know deep in your heart what you want, so stand up for yourself.

Years ago I was in a relationship that I just did what I was told. I became the Housewife, in sorts. It was an emasculating role and a role I seem to fall into over time, a habit. It’s not the fault of my partners, but a fault in myself. There’s a belief system in there that I am not good enough. I can’t get out of my head what my father said to me when I was ending one of these relationships, “Davey… you and I need women like this in our lives.” It was a gift from the Angels to hear this because it planted a seed. I had to hear that to remind myself that I do not ‘need’ anybody. To ‘need’ someone says that we can’t do it ourselves.

I know that I’m not the only one that falls into this trap that we create. No matter what we do, or how successful we become we still feel that we aren’t good enough. It’s not fair to our partners nor to ourselves. So how do we change it?

The best way I know is to surround yourself with a community that supports you, but even still that doesn’t seem to help at times so it might mean taking drastic measures. I know for myself I have been called to do Ayahuasca. I believe this is a journey I must take to get rid of the old demons. It’s a plant medicine that has been calling me for a few years now. I know that this medicine will get me out of these limiting beliefs.

I am good enough. I’ve proven it time after time. And I know you have to. But are you willing to make a stand for yourself and do the work? It will take focus and responsibility. It will take holding yourself accountable at all costs.

Today’s song is ‘In the Waiting Line’ by Zero 7.

“Do you believe in what you see? There doesn’t seem to be anybody else who agrees with me.”

Just go with the Flow

Posted on

Welcome to Tuesday, April 3rd which is a 9 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the 5 of Wands. It wants radical, aggressive movement and renewal. Combined with today’s number 9 of Universal love and selflessness it is asking us to give in. Let go. Quit trying to control outcomes which we don’t have control over anyway.

I am a stubborn Leo. As much as I believe in change, I still have a hard time making changes. I have a pattern… I usually get hit by cars. I know it sounds strange, but every time I knew it was time for a change and I didn’t follow through with the change I would get hit by a car. As if the Universe was saying… “Ok. I was trying to warn you, but I guess now I have to take drastic measures.”

I don’t want to get hit by a car again. It hurts and the recovery time gets longer and longer as I get older.

What areas of your life do you know you need to change but are being stubborn? Why does fear control you? What would your life look like if you just went with the flow of life instead of trying to swim upstream?

Today’s song is ‘The Flow’ by my old band ‘D.N.A.’.

“Free yourself. Free your Soul. Let go of the part you want to control. Just stay still. Just let go. You’re so caught up in having to know. Be part of the flow.”

Solar Plexus Chakra

Posted on

Welcome to Monday, April 2nd which is an 8 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the Queen of Cups. She is much different than yesterday’s fire sign of the Prince. She is water, fluid, moving… but easily swayed. She is the conductor so when she is combined with the other signs she can amplify that sign to either bring out the best or the worst depending on the vibration and awareness of the other sign.

All of your psychic abilities and natural talents are amplified today if you choose to tap into this source and combined with today’s numerological number 8 (Infinity) there is a need to give and receive. Trust your intuition.

Trust is a tough word in today’s society. We have a tendency not to trust anyone or anything but if you breathe deep, evaluate the situation and then listen to your gut (Your third Chakra: Solar Plexus) and trust your gut the answer will be readily available for you.

Common Solar Plexus Chakra Problems

Western Society is very goal and action-oriented. We get caught up in ‘doing’ instead of ‘being’. I like to use this analogy… “Be Do Have”. For example: If we are Being happy we end up doing things that make us happy and as a result, we have happiness. Our society is very caught up in the “Do Have Be”. For example: If I do things, I will have things and then I’ll be happy. It’s a very backward concept.

So a good way to clear your Solar Plexus of this old paradigm thought pattern is to take out time to meditate every day, even if it’s only for 5 minutes. It’s not the quantity, it’s the quality. Another thing you might want to do is start working with weights. Strengthening exercises give us a physical power that can translate over to help our mental power. Think of your 3rd Chakra (Solar Plexus) as a battery pack. If it is depleted we have a tendency to start taking care of others before we take care of ourselves. When we do this we get lost. We start looking outside of ourselves for answers.

Today’s song is U R The Answer by Michael Bernard Beckwith.

“Do you want to be whole? Do you want a healing? Do you want to live life fully? Take a breath. You are the Answer.”

Breathe Deep!

Rabbit Rabbit!

Welcome to Sunday, April 1st which is a 7 in Numerology.

Today’s card is the Prince of Wands. He wants it all and he wants it now but combined with today’s 7 energy of silence and introspection it might be a struggle.

I’ve been gone for 2 months and now that I am home, relaxed, unpacked… I am restless. My body hasn’t stopped from the constant hustle. I’ve been to over 30 cities and 4 countries in the last two months so it’s very hard for my body to stop, but I need to go within and ‘know’ that everything I’ve done will bear fruit.

Seeing results needs to come from inside first. We have to ‘know’, we have to ‘feel’… it has to become ‘real’ inside of us before it can become real on the outside.

Do you need proof?

Every physical thing on this Earth started as an idea first. It didn’t just pop into existence. It was a thought, and as they say in the spiritual movement… ‘Thought Manifests Reality’.

So today… relax. Nothing needs to be done. There is nowhere you need to go. It’s already been done and you’ve already been gone.

Trust that everything is perfect and everything happens for a reason and that Father/Mother/God has our back.

Today’s song is Who Loves you Baby by Michael Bernard Beckwith.

“Stop trying to fix yourself. Start to see yourself.”
