OK, I know we’ve talked about this before—and yes, Phil’s making me do this. But hitting 175 felt like a real shift, and it was time to put the story into words.

In this episode, I talk about what actually worked—and the surprising truth that it really wasn’t hard. I didn’t overhaul my life overnight. I just started paying attention. Once I got aware of what I was eating, things started to move. That shift—just noticing—changed everything.

Phil drops in with a story about a strange night in LA, when he and his wife Stacey went to see The Matrix and something felt… off. It wasn’t the movie. It was where they were sitting. What happened next turned into the perfect metaphor for this whole process: how a tiny change—one quiet adjustment—can shift your whole experience.

This episode is about small awakenings, big changes, and the people who nudge us toward better seats.

Let us know what you think.
