One Line: So before my birthday, the gift to myself was that I was going to walk up all 72 steps. ~Jay Armstrong
🎙️ Episode 78: In this episode of One Line, One Love, Jay shares the story of walking up the iconic granite steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum—the same ones Rocky Balboa made famous. But this isn’t a training montage. It’s slower. More personal. And every step tells a story. With his cane and sheer determination, Jay ascends the 72 legendary steps—not to prove anything, but to understand what it really means to make progress one, literal, step at a time.
This empowering episode is about more than reaching the top. It’s about showing up, moving forward, and redefining what success looks like—as a writer, as a person, and as someone chasing a goal that matters.
If you’ve ever felt like your pace was too slow or the hill too steep, this one’s for you. Because progress isn’t always fast. But it’s always worth it.
