👋 Meet Phil: The Human Behind the Message
Phil’s career has been anything but boring.
He’s been a high-performing sales leader, a corporate trainer, a VP of IT, a consultant, a speaker, a podcaster, and a mentor. He’s lived the high-stress, high-stakes hustle — and he’s burned out more than once.
But he didn't stay burned out. He studied it, rewired how he worked, and came back stronger, healthier, and more fulfilled. Now, he helps others do the same.
Phil’s approach is simple but powerful:
Talk like a human. Lead with heart. Take action every day.
