Phil's journey into podcasting began in 2014, inspired by the captivating narratives on Kevin Smith's network, Smodcast. With no formal education but a relentless drive to learn, Phil has transformed his passion for connection into a successful career in the digital realm. He launched his first venture, The Phil Better Show, in November 2017, reaching over 6,000 downloads and garnering a dedicated following.

After a brief hiatus in 2020, Phil's entrepreneurial spirit ignited with the inception of "Invest In Yourself: A Digital Entrepreneur Podcast." This platform has not only achieved over 100,000 downloads per year but has also placed Phil in the global top 10% of podcasts, as rated by Listennotes.com. His exceptional interviewing skills earned him accolades from The Scene Snobs, winning multiple awards for Best Business Podcast and Best Podcast Producer.

Phil's success led him to meet his first client, Lloyd Ross, launching "Money Grows on Trees: The Podcast," which quickly ranked 24th in Australia's How-to category and became the number one podcast in personal finance. Phil's ability to leverage his podcasts for substantial financial gain and audience growth is a testament to his strategic acumen.

Continuing to expand his portfolio, Phil introduced "Stock Dirty To Me," aimed at demystifying investing for beginners, and "Invest In Yourself: the Podcast Series," focusing on solving podcasters' challenges. His work is distinguished by his deep commitment to extracting actionable wisdom from his guests, a trait highly praised by guests like Jordan Tait, who commended Phil's preparation, insightful questioning, and engaging style.

Phil's mission extends beyond personal success; he is driven to help over 100 million podcast hosts achieve their dreams. With his unique blend of humor, energy, and expert storytelling, Phil is not just creating podcasts; he is shaping the future of digital entrepreneurship.
