I just had the coolest experience, all thanks to Twitter. I’ll explain.

One of my heroes is Shawn Phillips.

[Background: I used Shawn's brother Bill's Body for Life program quite successfully when it came out about ten years ago. I lost a lot of weight and got in great shape. A few years later, somehow the program's effectiveness had diminished for me. Then I heard Shawn in an interview with Ken Wilber on the old Integral Naked website, and I was excited about some of Shawn's updates to the program. A little later, Shawn came out with Strength for Life, which explained his new insights and put the whole thing together in a new and improved program that extends into being an effective person with strength to be successful at life, not just get big muscles or hit a target weight. Thrilled, I jumped into the new routine last year and felt my fitness (and life) starting to get back up to where I wanted it to be. I'm back on a Transformation cycle, starting yesterday, ready to kick it in gear and get up to my peak physical condition in twelve weeks.]

Since both Shawn and I are now on Twitter, I figured I’d give a holla that I was starting his strength program and was pumped about it. He hit me back with an encouraging “right on!,” which made my day right there. But it gets better. His reply came just as I was tweeting my latest podcast episode. Apparently, he noticed my podcast and started listening, tweeting that he was enjoying the ‘cast!

Here’s the exchange:
