Jason Khalipa is a former American professional CrossFit Games athlete and 2008 CrossFit Games champion. He also received the Spirit of the Games award at the 2009 CrossFit Games and was selected to participate as a member of Team USA at the CrossFit Invitational in 2012, 2013, and 2014. Khalipa is the founder and CEO of NCFit, headquartered in Campbell, California.
Khalipa was born in San Jose, California, and attended Archbishop Mitty High School, where he played for the varsity football team as a nose guard. He also participated in track and field for the shot put event. Khalipa began his fitness career in high school by working part-time as the front desk representative at Milpitas Health and Fitness, a gym in Milpitas, California.
After high school, he attended college at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, but he did not participate in organized sports. Instead, he continued working full-time at Milpitas Health and Fitness, where he trained for his first CrossFit Games and devoted the rest of his time to his education, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management.
Khalipa opened his first gym, CrossFit Santa Clara, nearly a month after winning his first CrossFit Games in 2008. Khalipa's recognition grew in the CrossFit world, and he wrote As Many Reps As Possible about his career. He became dedicated to learning more about health and fitness as a competitor and a coach. He renamed CrossFit Santa Clara to NorCal CrossFit in 2011 and then renamed it again in 2017 to NCFit.
In January 2016, Khalipa's daughter Ava was diagnosed with Leukemia. After Ava's final treatment in 2018, Khalipa and his wife Ashley have since focused on spreading awareness for pediatric cancer. In June 2020, Khalipa announced NCFits' disaffiliation from the CrossFit brand following then-CEO Greg Glassman's controversial posts on Twitter 2020.
Khalipa competed in eight CrossFit Games competitions throughout his professional career, winning his first in 2008, where he placed first. As the 2008 CrossFit Games champion, he automatically qualified in the 2009 CrossFit Games, where he placed fifth and earned the Spirit of the Games award. From 2010 to 2015, Khalipa continued to put first in CrossFit Regional events and once during the CrossFit Open, a worldwide event, but he did not place first in another CrossFit Games.
In 2015, he competed as a team member with his affiliate, NorCal CrossFit, in the team competition. However, he decided not to compete in the 2016 CrossFit Games to take care of his daughter following her diagnosis of Leukemia. He briefly participated in the 2017 Open but withdrew after one event. In 2016, Khalipa began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He placed first in the adult 208lb division of the US Open Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz, California, on October 23, 2016.

Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD. Written as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement, the twelve books of the Meditations offer his ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the twelve books in Koine Greek as he planned military campaigns against several Germanic tribes across the Danube frontier and along the Danube River.&nbsp;
It is likely that large portions of the books were written while Marcus Aurelius was stationed at Aquincum on a campaign in Pannonia. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Carnuntum, with internal notes telling us that book 2 was written during his campaign against the Quadi on the river Granova.

Stewart Brand is an American writer best known as the editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He founded several organizations, including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation. He is the author of several books, most recently Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
Brand was born in Rockford, Illinois, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He studied biology at Stanford University, graduating in 1960. As a soldier in the U.S. Army, he was a parachutist and taught infantry skills; he later expressed that his military experience had fostered his competence in organizing. A civilian again in 1962, he studied design at San Francisco Art Institute, photography at San Francisco State College, and participated in a legitimate scientific study of then-legal LSD in Menlo Park, California. In 1966, he married mathematician Lois Jennings, an Ottawa Native American.
Brand has lived in California since the 1960s. He and his second wife live on Mirene, a 64-foot (20 m)-long working tugboat. Built-in 1912, the boat is moored in a former shipyard in Sausalito, California. In addition, he works in Mary Heartline, a grounded fishing boat about 100 yards (90 meters) away. One of his favorite items is a table on which Otis Redding is said to have written "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." (Brand acquired it from an antique dealer in Sausalito.)
By the mid-1960s, Brand became associated with New York multimedia group USCO and Bay Area author Ken Kesey and his "Merry Pranksters." Brand co-produced the Trips Festival, an early effort involving rock music and light shows, in San Francisco with Kesey and Ramón Sender Barayón. This was one of the first venues at which the Grateful Dead performed in San Francisco. About 10,000 hippies attended, and Haight-Ashbury soon emerged as a community. Tom Wolfe describes Brand in his 1968 book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
The Whole Earth Catalog implied an ideal of human progress that depended on decentralized, personal, and liberating technological development—so‑called "soft technology." However, in 2005 he criticized aspects of the international environmental ideology he had helped to develop. He wrote an article called "Environmental Heresies" in the May 2005 issue of the MIT Technology Review, in which he describes what he considers necessary changes to environmentalism. He suggested, among other things, that environmentalists embrace nuclear power and genetically modified organisms as technologies with more promise than risk.
Brand later developed these ideas into a book and published the Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto in 2009. The book examines how urbanization, nuclear power, genetic engineering, geoengineering, and wildlife restoration can be powerful tools in humanity's ongoing fight against global warming. In a 2019 interview, Brand described his perspective as "post-libertarian," indicating that when the Whole Earth Catalog was being written, he did not fully understand the significance of the government's role in developing technology and engineering.

Marcus Aurelius emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment. He suggests that we should not let our past mistakes or future worries control our lives. Instead, we should focus on what we can do right now. So, take a look at your life and see where you can apply this principle.

Embrace the Power of Now

One of the key lessons from Meditations is that we can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we react. Marcus Aurelius teaches us that our reactions are a reflection of our inner selves. So, next time when something doesn't go as planned, remember to control your reaction.

Control Your Reactions

Marcus Aurelius believes that virtue is the highest good and should be the guiding principle of our lives. He encourages us to be honest, just, and kind to others. So, why not explore this idea and see how you can incorporate more virtue into your life?

Value of Virtue

Death is a recurring theme in Meditations. He sees it as a natural part of life and encourages us to accept it rather than fear it. This acceptance can free us from many fears and help us live a more fulfilling life. So, dig into this concept and find out how it can change your perspective on life.

Acceptance of Death

Marcus Aurelius was a big believer in self-reflection. He used it as a tool to improve himself and his actions. He suggests that we should regularly check in with ourselves and evaluate our actions. So, take some time to reflect on your actions and see how you can improve.

Over a quarter-century, more than a million readers—writers and writers-in-training of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s heartfelt advice. And the book’s title comes from a passage written by Anne Lamott’s father—himself a writer—long before she was born. It goes like this: "Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write.&nbsp;
It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird. ’"

Josh Waitzkin emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than the end result. He believes that by immersing ourselves in the process of learning, we can truly master a skill. So, instead of rushing to get to the finish line, take your time to enjoy the journey.

Embrace the Process

In The Art of Learning, Waitzkin encourages us to see failures as opportunities for growth. He argues that setbacks are not the end of the world, but rather stepping stones to success. So, next time you face a challenge, don't shy away. Instead, see it as a chance to learn and improve.

Learn from Failures

Waitzkin highlights the importance of being present in the moment. He believes that by fully focusing on the task at hand, we can achieve better results. So, whether you're studying, working, or practicing a hobby, try to eliminate distractions and fully immerse yourself in the activity.

The Power of Presence
