Phil Heath, one of the greatest body builders of all time and a seven-time winner of Mr. Olympia joins The Pivot in a special Friday conversation talking his journey into fitness and performance as well his personal struggles along the way.
Sitting down with Ryan, Fred and Channing, Phil details his path from his childhood dream of being a professional athlete to wrestling to finding his calling as a bodybuilder. But a lot of success didn’t come without a lot of struggle. Overcoming mental health issues and loss, Phil turned his setbacks into motivation and explains how he was able to make peace after suffering emotional disappointments.
And no show would be complete without Channing being able to ask the questions we all want to know but wouldn’t dare say out loud!
Tune in to this special Friday conversation at 3p est with episode streaming on KZread, Spotify and Apple podcasts

Phil just broke another boundary for body builders !! Thanks to the pivot podcast 🙏🙏🙏 y’all boys solid man keep inspiring keep pushing most importantly keep loving one another 💪🏾
Im a disabled vet. 6 years ago I found out I have cancer that has destroyed my endocrine system. It was give up, or fight back. Just like saying he laid in the road and heard nothing. After my consult, I sat alone, heard nothing. Im still here and Im better for it. His story makes me appreciate what he has done even more.
I would of never thought y’all would interview Phil Heath. W interview, I’m a huge bodybuilding fan and big fan of Phil. This was cool.

The reason this podcast is great is because nothing is forced, they ask real difficult questions, and they aren’t afraid of confrontation. Excellence & black excellence at that.

Top tier show! Since the beginning these guys have delivered. Love the variety of guests and watching RC, Channing, and Freaky Fred grow throughout the lifetime of this show. Props to Phil Heath for sharing some of his experiences on this episode. 👏🏾 to RC with the Chadwick Boseman shirt. Bravo.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode😭. Man, i am so glad i got to see this side of Phil Heath. What a guy. Thank God no car hit him👊🏾🙌🏾
This was outstanding. I had never heard of him, because I don't follow bodybuilding, but after this I'm a fan! Inspiring story, and he seems to be very humble.
I never thought bodybuilding would be even a podcast on here. My two worlds collide. Let’s go!
Guest lineup is insane. Great work my brothers.
19:05 “You were saved, to do something better” SUCH a deep statement! 🙏🏼❤️ May God bless him and his journey!
Phil is the shit! Glad to hear him being this open and honest. He is a great representative of our sport
Incredible Episode with Phil. You guys brought the deepest and fun out of him. Well done. More people need to see this!
RC's conclusion was on point. 🙏🏾 Greaaat episode!
Man this is interview is AMAZING! I MET Phil YEARS AGO and he was the exact same genuine dude that he was in the interview. Much Respect to Phil and to you guys for what what you’re doing!
I'm glad when people talk about their experiences with suicide. My situation wasn't that I didn't hear anything, it was just a lot of noise in my head that wasn't real. My loved ones that I was preparing to leave were being checked off in my head until my son showed up. At that moment, everything came to a slamming hault and I came back to reality. It was noisy af in my head, but in reality, there was no sound at all. It was deathly quiet. At that moment, I realized I had to make A LOT of changes. BTW, I never comtemplated suicide. The pain got so intense and the decision was made out of no where. Its a literal psychotic break created by pain, depression and hopelessness.
Channing got me dying omg!!! 🤣
They rocked this one. I wasn't expecting Phil Heath as a guest. I'm glad I watched this one. This one could've went longer it was getting good. Great advice when Phil spoke about people getting their physical on the regular. A good majority of men of color are afraid of the doctor visit.
This became one of my favorite things to watch easily every show is a banger🔥 Y’all all fit into it so perfectly much love to all of you for doing this💪🏼
Channing be killing me with the weirdo questions lol. This was a good motivator for anything... I am a chef and gave me good go get em energy
I have been a Phil Heath fan since his first Mr.Olympia. I have listened to a plethora of his interviews and I have never heard the laying in the street story until now. Shout out to the Pivot Podcast!!
Yoooo, Channing is the best😂🤣😂🤣..." If my forearms was that big, I'd tear my whole head off, nothing but the shaft left"-channing
Dude is way more thoughtful than I would have guessed. New fan here
They don’t miss!!! The next step is to interview a regular random person, because they changing regular peoples lives…💯💯💯
The GOAT! I love this! The first to crossover to bodybuilding! And to get Phil?!! EPIC!

I remember the comments that were said about Heath, and just took it as someone who was super confident and excelled at everything….hearing his story from himself, suprised the heck out of me and made him more human; good show as always.

"You won't see them at expos cus they'll get exposed." Fred looked like really wanted to say "that's a bar right there"
This show is goin to good directions and different genres is really great. It’s different from other podcast and only having great conversations where their guest can open up to a personal level. Keep up the great work guys. Would like to really see phil heath against kai green again on a competition
U know Channing succeeded when the guest be like “this man is crazy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I didn’t see this coming but happy to see y’all got 7x mr Olympia Phil Heath on this
Ryan was an instigator on this episode. I cried laughing at how much Fred tried to pivot the conversation and Channing went back to sex. Great episode. Keep up the great work guys and thanks Phil for sharing your journey.
Phil was for sure and still is under appreciated his statement about staying for his fans. He stopped leaving the gym at the Arnold in Ohio and we spoke for 20 minutes about bodybuilding and his influence on the business aspect the likes of him and jay cutler help advance. Great guy
You guys are a treasure to the culture!!! Y’all brought out The GIFT!!! Damn.. I love this
I'm so pumped for this episode! Didn't even watch just wanted to salute. You are doing the damn thing!
I love this podcast. Every week I’m here. Awesome to see Phil Heath as a guest, awesome to see him in this environment with other brothers. You guys really know how to bring the walls down & allow guests to delve into their stories authentically.
You need a Channing on this kind of show with the seriousness of some of the questions to bring that laughter and comical aspects to it. He is a real fool and it’s needed… much respect to all u brothers and the great content you put out💯💯💯💯

Can we literally solidify this as the best podcast out? There is nothing negative you can say about it. The chemistry, the questions, the guests, the locations of each show, the topics. You name it, they don’t miss. I find myself saying, they can’t beat this episode and somehow they find a way to prove me wrong. Phil’s message to wanting to educate US about the sport as well as taking accountability of his actions speaks volumes as to who is was and now who he is. Love brothers
Thank you, gentlemen, for continue to think outside the box with these interviews. You keep putting guest on that I would never think you would interview. I appreciate how you are able to get the guest to open up and gives us the real on what is going on in their life. This is therapy to a lot of us who watch the Pivot. Great Job Gentlemen!
The Pivot, is in complete control. Not only do we get GREAT guests from all disciplines, we get this shit on time. Back to back to back! Amazing content. BIG Phil Heath 💪🏽
Can’t believe ya’ll got Phil Heath 7 time Mr Olympia on here damn this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shout out to the homie for putting me on to this podcast last night. Great episode. This is some dope content.
Western Australia, March 2014. Phil’s doing a meet and greet signing at a Supps store. Line is around the corner. Supp store says, you buy, skip the line. I don’t. I’m there for Phil. Time is up, signing should be over. I’m still in line. 2hrs later, Phil is still there. I get to meet him, shake hands and have a photo. I thank him for staying. He THANKS me for waiting. That was my piece of Phil, and he didn’t leave me hanging (42:20). Ever grateful Phil, thank you.
These conversations always leave me with little nuggets that I hope to implement into my mindset and lifestyle. Shout out Pivot podcast for engaging in meaningful conversations!
Channing is a straight fool!!! I can always count on him to make me laugh; especially when he makes RC and Fred T to uncomfortable 😂😂😂😂
So good to hear someone talk to someone that struggled with suicide and someone that never did. Sometimes you think "damn nobody else feels this feeling" but you know they do, so sometimes you'll think, "damn, everyone else deals with this feeling so well. Why am I the one that's struggling to deal" Stay strong homies, one moment at a time, the cloud will pass
Loving the podcast fellas!! And the guest you guys bring on are what the people want🔥🔥🔥🔥
