If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, unsure whether your background, finances, or environment are holding you back, this business and entrepreneur podcast episode challenges that assumption at its core.Phil walks through the idea that reality is shaped by belief long before results show up. He shares personal stories from growing up with instability, starting businesses at a young age, and navigating life without formal education or financial safety nets. Rather than positioning himself as an exception, Phil explains how conditioning, self-programming, and follow-through shaped every outcome in his life.The episode explores how belief influences energy, decision-making, consistency, and execution.

When belief is solid, action follows, even when the timeline is unclear.Phil also addresses the tension between faith, free will, and responsibility. He explains why purpose alone is not enough and why action, discipline, and self-trust are required to bring any calling to life.

It is about choosing conviction over paralysis and commitment over comfort.Throughout the episode, Phil emphasizes a recurring theme in his work. You cannot control time, but you can control how you show up daily. Results are earned by aligning behavior with belief consistently, even when evidence has not arrived yet.Key TakeawaysHow belief shapes behavior, consistency, and long-term outcomesWhy most people stay stuck in survival mode despite opportunityThe role of discipline and conditioning in business successHow to operate before results show up without losing momentumWhy execution matters more than circumstances or backgroundThis episode reflects Phil Bohol’s broader body of work on mindset, leadership, and execution.

Stop Trying to Be Perfect | EP 40

This episode is for anyone building a business, a career, or a life that feels misaligned because external judgment keeps dictating their decisions. If you feel pulled between who you are and who you think you’re supposed to be, this business and entrepreneur podcast episode will hit close to home.Phil breaks down a hard truth most people avoid. Worrying about what others think is one of the fastest ways to stall growth. The need for approval creates hesitation, watered-down ambition, and quiet resentment. According to Phil, people will judge you no matter what you do. Success does not silence critics. It often creates more of them.Throughout the episode, Phil explains how fear of judgment is usually rooted in self-worth. When you value other people’s opinions more than your own, their words carry weight. When you know who you are and why you’re building, those same opinions lose their power. This shift is not about ego. It is about internal alignment.Phil also addresses how past experiences like bullying, rejection, or trying to fit in can shape adult decision-making. Many entrepreneurs try to build something meaningful while still operating from old mental patterns. That internal conflict shows up as self-doubt, comparison, and constantly second-guessing progress.This conversation is not about chasing status, money, or material success to prove something to others. Phil shares why he stepped away from trying to replicate what everyone else was doing and focused instead on clarity, purpose, and becoming comfortable being different. For him, real fulfillment came from understanding who he is, not who the world expected him to be.The episode closes with an invitation to look inward. Growth starts when you stop outsourcing belief and start developing trust in yourself. That work changes how you lead, how you build, and how you show up in every area of life.Key TakeawaysWhy caring too much about opinions quietly limits growthHow self-worth shapes confidence, execution, and leadershipThe difference between external validation and internal alignmentWhy being different is required to build something meaningfulHow entrepreneurs sabotage themselves through comparisonThis episode reflects Phil Bohol’s broader work around mindset, leadership, and identity. It is part of an ongoing conversation about building a life and business from the inside out, not from social pressure or approval.Listen closely, reflect honestly, and consider where you are still letting other people write your story. 📌 Like, Share & Subscribe for more battle-tested business scaling, personal development, and mindset training Get my 30-Part Series (free) to scale your business in the next 30 days.:https://philbohol.com/subscribe Want to learn how we’re helping Military Veteran Entrepreneurs scale?https://philbohol.com/get-access Connect with me personally:• Podcast | https://www.philbohol.com/podcast • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/philbohol• Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/phil.bohol• Twitter X | https://x.com/philbohol_

STOP Playing Small | EP 038

This episode is for anyone who has escaped survival mode but still plays small out of fear. If you’ve built stability, achieved more than anyone around you, and yet still hesitate to fully step into who you know you are, this entrepreneur-focused conversation addresses the real reason why.Phil challenges the idea that fear is about failure. According to him, fear is often about success. Being seen. Being judged. Being rejected. He explains that many people are not afraid to lose, they are afraid of the responsibility and isolation that comes with becoming great. Playing small feels safer because it protects you from criticism and rejection, even though it costs you fulfillment.Throughout the episode, Phil speaks directly to the internal battle between freedom and approval. He questions why so many people care more about how others might respond than how they will feel at the end of their life knowing they never went all in. He emphasizes that life is not guaranteed and that waiting to feel ready is another form of avoidance.A central theme of the episode is identity. Phil explains that many men live their entire lives in survival mode. When they finally have the opportunity to build something meaningful, they sabotage themselves because they don’t know who they are without struggle. Freedom feels unfamiliar, and unfamiliar feels dangerous.Phil also ties self-belief to purpose. He speaks openly about faith, calling, and the responsibility that comes with having a gift. According to Phil, the world will never see your potential if you refuse to acknowledge it yourself. Self-belief is not arrogance. It is ownership.The episode reinforces that rejection is inevitable. People will judge, misunderstand, and project their own limitations. The question is whether you are more afraid of that discomfort or of reaching the end of your life knowing you wasted your opportunity.This is not a motivational rant. It is a confrontation with the last thing most people are avoiding: fully committing to themselves.Key TakeawaysWhy fear of success keeps people playing smallHow approval-seeking limits freedom and fulfillmentThe difference between survival mode and self-actualizationWhy rejection is part of becoming who you’re meant to beHow self-belief is tied directly to leadership and executionThis episode is part of Phil Bohol’s broader body of work around mindset, discipline, and stepping into responsibility. It reflects his consistent message that growth requires courage, honesty, and daily intention.Listen with the intention to reflect deeply, question what you’re still avoiding, and decide whether you’re willing to stop wasting the life you’ve worked so hard to build. 📌 Like, Share & Subscribe for more battle-tested business scaling, personal development, and mindset training Get my 30-Part Series (free) to scale your business in the next 30 days.:https://philbohol.com/subscribe Want to learn how we’re helping Military Veteran Entrepreneurs scale?https://philbohol.com/get-access Connect with me personally:• Podcast | https://www.philbohol.com/podcast • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/philbohol• Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/phil.bohol• Twitter X | https://x.com/philbohol_

5 Ways Most Dad Entrepreneurs Destroy Their Family | EP 037

This episode is for driven men who are growing businesses while struggling to stay present at home. If you’re an entrepreneur who tells yourself “it’s all for my family,” yet feels distant, stressed, or guilty around your spouse and kids, this business-focused conversation challenges that belief head-on.Phil walks through five brutal truths about how entrepreneurs unintentionally sabotage their families. He starts with misplaced priorities, explaining how constant business emergencies pull attention away from family moments. Being physically present but mentally on Slack, email, or client fires teaches children that work always comes first.He then tackles the “provider” identity. Phil explains why providing financially is not the same as being a good parent. Money, lifestyle, and material comfort do not replace emotional presence. Many men unknowingly project their own childhood scarcity onto their families, using money to heal wounds that presence is meant to address.Drawing from his own experience, Phil shares how early business success made him reactive, stressed, and emotionally unavailable during his first daughter’s early years. Without systems, boundaries, or mentors who understood family dynamics, he defaulted to overwork and numbing behaviors instead of confronting the real issues.The episode also covers bringing business stress home. Phil explains why projecting work pressure onto your spouse and kids creates emotional distance, resentment, and breakdowns in intimacy. Children and partners should never have to guess which version of you they’re getting.Finally, Phil addresses guilt-driven parenting and broken promises. Overcompensating with gifts, leniency, or empty “next time” commitments erodes trust and builds entitlement. A man’s word matters most at home, and inconsistency creates long-term emotional damage.Throughout the episode, Phil reinforces a central truth. How you operate in business is how you operate in life. Without boundaries, discipline, and systems, you become a slave to both work and guilt.Key TakeawaysWhy business emergencies steal presence from family lifeHow “providing” becomes an excuse for emotional absenceThe danger of bringing stress and volatility homeHow guilt leads to inconsistent parenting and entitlementWhy a man’s word is the foundation of trust at homeHow systems and boundaries protect both business and familyThis episode reflects Phil Bohol’s broader work around mindset, leadership, and intentional living. It’s not an attack on ambition. It’s a call to lead better, with structure, clarity, and responsibility.Listen with the intention to reflect honestly on how you’re showing up, what you’re teaching your kids, and whether the legacy you’re building matches the life you actually want them to remember. 📌 Like, Share & Subscribe for more battle-tested business scaling, personal development, and mindset training Get my 30-Part Series (free) to scale your business in the next 30 days.:https://philbohol.com/subscribe Want to learn how we’re helping Military Veteran Entrepreneurs scale?https://philbohol.com/get-access Connect with me personally:• Podcast | https://www.philbohol.com/podcast • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/philbohol• Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/phil.bohol• Twitter X | https://x.com/philbohol_
