Summary
Join the Guild
The same principle that got Chris through 125 pounds of weight loss got him through 31 miles of trail running: you don't run a 50K by thinking about mile 31, you run it by running the mile you're in. Weight loss works the same way.
After two weeks off the feed — between running the Ouachita 50K ultramarathon, leading a Tough Mudder workshop in Atlanta, and pouring creative energy into a major Guild project — Chris is back with an honest update on where the podcast is headed and what he's been quietly building for two years.
This episode marks the public launch of the Daily Coaching Program inside The Guild of Champions. Unlike the podcast (which is intentionally non-sequential), the Daily Coaching Program delivers information scaffolded in order: what you need to hear on day 10, day 90, day 200, day 300. Chris explains why listening to a podcast on repeat isn't the same as being coached, and why so many people mistake edutainment for actually doing the work.
In this episode:
- Why two weeks went dark on the feed
- What 31 miles re-taught Chris about staying present
- The difference between listening and being coached
- Why novelty matters on a long journey
- The Daily Coaching Program: what it is and the early results members are getting
- A free 19-day sample anyone can try
- Why the podcast is moving to every other week

Programming note: The Becoming Thin Podcast is shifting to every-other-week episodes while Chris focuses on the Daily Coaching Program.

| 0:00.0 | From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Becoming Thin podcast. |
| 0:14.4 | I'm your host, Chris Terrell. And welcome to another week, your weight loss quest. How did this |
| 0:20.3 | last week go for you, champion? |
| 0:21.6 | What new challenges did you encounter? |
| 0:23.6 | But more importantly, what failure did you go through and what lesson did you get from that failure? |
| 0:28.6 | Come on now, don't let a perfectly good failure go by without you getting your lesson. |
| 0:33.6 | That's your reward for your troubles after all. |
| 0:35.6 | Now if you're new here, I've lost 125 pounds myself. |
| 0:39.7 | After an entire adult for the chronic yo-yo dieting, up, down, up, down, up again. |
| 0:44.9 | Before I finally got sick and tired to being sick and tired. |
| 0:47.1 | In fact, it made some permanent, meaningful, and actual changes to my real-life lifestyle, |
| 0:51.7 | habits, or teens, environment, community, and to my systems of belief. |
| 0:56.0 | Because it's all six of those things that create the results of my life, and if I wanted to get new |
| 0:59.6 | results, I was going to have to go change those six things in a permanent, meaningful, and lasting |
| 1:03.6 | way. And now I'm here each week to help you make changes to them as well in hopes that you |
| 1:09.3 | will begin to live the life that you want |
| 1:12.2 | in the body that you want. That's what I'm trying to help you do, just like I did with myself. |
| 1:18.5 | It's been an amazing wild ride since I started my journey in June of 2019. That's when my journey began. |
| 1:29.3 | I had no idea where it was going to go. |
| 1:31.5 | I had no idea where my life was going to go. |
| 1:33.5 | And I think back to the journey of life I've been on since then, it's, wow, it's crazy. |
| 1:40.3 | I was just talking to somebody last night about how this body I've been, and I've actually only been in it for about five years, this thin, healthy body. |
