Philip is a speaker and thought leader who has built a reputation for his unapologetic approach to working with entrepreneurs, leaders, and athletes all over the world.

He is the creator of the SoulSet™ philosophy and the One Last Talk movement, helping people uncover their unique gifts and live with greater meaning and impact.

In this episode, Philip and I dig into some of the most honest conversations you'll hear on this podcast – including:

· Why vulnerability isn't a tool to be used, it's a gift to be given

· How to spot fake vulnerability online and why it's doing more damage than people realise

· The difference between passion and excitement, and why one runs out, and one never does

· How your story holds the key to transforming your life, and why the desire for clarity and success can become a personal prison if you're not willing to pay the price to step into it.

· + so much more.

1: You mentioned on a podcast that you work 20-30 hour weeks. What do you actually say 'no' to that most people in your position would say 'yes' to?" 00:58

2: What's the loneliest you've ever felt on this journey, not the dramatic rock bottom, but the quiet, invisible loneliness that nobody talks about when you're building something? 14:30

3: You went from primary school teacher to running a very successful business. Was there a specific moment where you stopped feeling like an 'imposter' and actually felt like you'd earned your place? 25:54

4: Most people think the goal is to stop caring what others think. But is that actually true for you? Do you still care — and if so, how do you stop it from running your decisions? 35:56
