Pulse: Congratulations on your grand win. Has the prize money you won after clinching the Maisha Superstars win changed your life yet?
Phy: (Laughs) Not yet. The most important advice I received about the money was from Eric Wainaina who told me to save it in a fixed deposit account for six months before using it, and I did.

P: All that cash, I mean Sh1.2 million is just lying in the bank...
Phy: After trying out many competitions, I have learnt that life moves on with or without the millions. But the reason why he told me six months was because, by then, I would have become sober from the win and would make more rational decisions about money as compared to now when I have overwhelming urges and dreams.
