After his fourth DWI, chef and restaurateur @philipspeer was faced with a pivotal choice. In rehab, Philip started running, and it transformed his life. âI had to figure out how to make changes for the positive and how to be an example for other people in this business that it can be different,â he says. Â
Â
In our latest #HumansofHOKA, Philip shares his journey to sobriety, how he built the Comedor Run Club, and his desire to âshift the post shift culture.â Â
Â
Stay tuned for the full film, coming tomorrow. Â

We wanted to take a moment to recognize the team behind Comedor. The care, focus, and consistency they bring shows up in every dish that reaches the table. This work is only possible together.
What if post-shift didnât mean a drink at the barâbut a run with your crew, a breath of fresh air, and a space to heal?
Thatâs what Philip Speer started building in Austinâand itâs changing lives.
10+ years sober. 5 years running. Founder of @comedorrunclub Chair of @bensfriendshope
A chef, a leader, and a damn good human.
Philip is living proof that thereâs another wayâone grounded in clarity, care, and community.
Watch the full video and hit the link in our bio to read his story.
We left inspiredâand weâre already weaving some of his practices into @the86challenge a collective call for well-being in the industry.
Take your time with this one. Itâs worth it.
