And THE BORING GLORY.
About Mike
&
The Boring Glory
Me
I’m Mike Farley — a writer, content creator, and creative strategist with a voice shaped by lived experience and grounded in professional training. With a background in Mental Health & Addictions education from Camosun College, I’ve spent over two decades working across independent media, global skate brands, and wellness organizations to tell honest stories that resonate.
From The Ton Magazine and Visions Journal to Adidas Skateboarding, my work sits at the intersection of authenticity, grit, and community. Whether I’m building a campaign, writing a feature, or creating content focused on mental wellness, the goal remains the same: make it real and make it matter.
The Boring Glory
Boring Glory is my personal brand — born from the slow, painful process of getting clean, healing old injuries, and rebuilding my life from the inside out. It’s a mindset, a movement, and a reminder that discipline beats dopamine, and consistency is where the real transformation happens.
Through fitness, mental health advocacy, and storytelling, Boring Glory reclaims the everyday effort that makes greatness possible — even when no one’s watching.
