Are you always searching for that one hoodie you'll actually live in? The one that feels just right on the couch, on a plane, or out on a hike? I found mine with PACA, and now it's the only one I reach for. PACA makes outdoor and lifestyle apparel from Alpaca Fiber, one of the world's most sustainable natural fibers. Their best-selling hoodie is softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, and breathable. And this hoodie is built for real life, thermoregulating, odor resistant, durable and made to last. Each one is made start to finish in Peru and features an Inca ID that's hand woven by artisans, honoring generations of knowledge and traditions and connecting you closer to where your clothing comes from. Over 250,000 people have already picked up the pack of hoodie. What makes it even better? Personally, I love wearing mine inside. Actually, I'm always someone who wants to throw like a blanket on when I'm bundling up. But sometimes other hoodies are a little bit too heavy. They're not as cozy as I want them to be. Not at all the case with Paka. They feel warm. They feel cozy, soft, just like a blanket. And for a guy like me, that's what I love.

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. We talk about mental health more openly now, but asking for help can still feel hard. BetterHelp's 2026 State of Stigma Report surveyed 2000 Americans and revealed that tension. 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise, yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. Maybe you're busy, worried what others would think, or telling yourself you should handle it alone. Therapy can be a space to talk through what's been building before it feels unmanageable. With more than 30,000 therapists, BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform, having served more than 6 million people globally. And it works with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 for a live session based on more than 1.7 million client reviews.
