Summary

Episode 633 kicks off the Power to Change series by challenging the myth that change must be dramatic to be meaningful. Through insights from experts like Katy Milkman, BJ Fogg, and Jud Brewer—as well as a personal story from Randy Blythe—John unpacks how behavior loops, emotional rewiring, and identity-focused habits form the foundation for sustainable transformation. This episode isn't about fixing yourself—it's about becoming someone you trust, one small shift at a time.

And if that framework sparked something in you—if you're thinking, “This is exactly what I need, but I’m not sure I’ll remember it in the moment…”—I’ve got something for you.

I created a free Connection Compass Guide inside The Ignition Room on Substack.

I've created a free Becoming You Workbook, available inside The Ignition Room on Substack.

It’s packed with:

Tiny habits lead to identity-level transformation
Emotions drive behavior loops—curiosity helps break them
Microshifts lead to macro impact when practiced consistently

0:00.0	Coming up next on Passion Struck, what if change doesn't start with a decision, but with a question,
0:07.9	not how do I fix my life, but who am I becoming right now? We tend to think that transformation
0:15.9	requires massive willpower, sweeping decisions, or life-altering events. But the truth is far quieter.
0:25.1	It lives in our micro-choices, our self-talk, the loop that runs between who we've been
0:33.2	and who we believe we're allowed to become. In this episode, we kick off our new series, The Power to Change,
0:41.8	and look at why tiny shifts done with intention
0:45.6	might be the most powerful form of transformation there is.
0:50.2	You don't need to become someone new.
0:51.8	You need to remember who you were before the world told you to become someone else.
0:58.2	Welcome to Passionstruck. Hi, I'm your host, John R. Miles. And on the show, we decipher the secrets, tips, and guidance of the world's most inspiring people and turned their wisdom into practical advice for you and those around you.
1:12.3	Our mission is to help you unlock the power of intentionality so that you can become the best
1:18.7	version of yourself. If you're new to the show, I offer advice and answer listener questions
1:24.0	on Fridays. We have long-form interviews the rest of the week with guests ranging from
1:29.2	astronauts to authors, CEOs, creators, innovators, scientists, military leaders, visionaries, and
1:36.5	athletes. Now, let's go out there and become Passionstruck. Welcome to Passionstruck. I'm your
1:42.7	host, John Miles, and this is episode 633. All month
1:47.5	long, we're diving into the power to change, rewiring thoughts, behavior, and emotion.
1:54.2	This series is for anyone who feels stuck in an old story and unsure how to step into a new one.
2:00.0	Earlier this week, in episode 631, I sat down
2:03.9	with Dr. Bob Rosen to talk about how change begins not with control, but with letting go. His new
2:10.8	book, Detach, is a powerful reminder that our attachments to ego, fear, and identity are often with block growth. And on Thursday,
2:19.8	in episode 632, Karen Salmanson joined me to explore emotional micro-shifts, those small, soulful
