Phil spent over 20 years helping build and scale a business before leading a private equity-backed management buyout and eventually stepping away as CEO.


In this episode, we discuss what private equity actually looks like behind closed doors, why many founders become the bottleneck in their own business, the psychology of selling, imposter syndrome at the top, and what life is really like after a successful exit.


If you’re building a business or planning an exit one day, this conversation is packed with practical lessons.
