What if getting healthier didn’t require more willpower, more tracking, or more “optimizing”… but less? Kwame Terra and I dig into what the world’s longest-living communities actually do differently — and spoiler: it’s not VO2 max tests, cold plunges, or biohacking spreadsheets. It’s walking, connection, and movement that’s baked into daily life.
Kwame shares how he’s building community-based fitness experiences that feel social and automatic instead of like another chore on your to-do list, and why representation matters in wellness spaces. His new app is built specifically for Black communities, addressing the gaps in access, representation, and culturally relevant support that mainstream fitness platforms often miss.
We also talk about the story behind his wild goal of hitting two million steps in a month (and going after a Guinness World Record while he’s at it).
Important topics we discussed:
>> Building wellness spaces specifically for Black communities and why representation matters
>> Designing environments that make movement social and fun
>> Kwame’s two-million-step month and Guinness World Record attempt
>> What Blue Zones teach us about longevity (hint: it’s lifestyle, not hacks)
