Why do we start strong… and still end up stuck? (Watch on YouTube)To answer that, my guest today, Kwame Terra, did something no one else ever has. He walked over 2 million steps in 30 days — 66,000 steps a day. That’s more than a marathon’s distance daily, with no rest days. At the end of it, Kwame ended up setting a new world record. But this isn’t a story about crushing a record. It’s a conversation about what it takes to follow through —when no one’s watching, when you hit a wall, and when your old self is begging you to quit. In this episode, we unpack: Why motivation rarely lasts — and what to rely on instead The hardest part of walking 66K steps a day (it’s not what you think) How pain, rhythm, and emotional triggers show up in the body What Kwame learned about trusting himself again through movement Why “finishing something” can be more healing than we realize More than any record, this challenge was about reclaiming a sense of identity, integrity, and forward momentum — through walking.
