This podcast is for business owners and entrepreneurs - reverse engineering your way to success through inspiring conversations.

And the conversation you're about to hear is truly inspiring.

I'm conscious that many of the guests I've had on the podcast over the last couple of years have shared stories of incredible success.

But anyone who’s been in business for any length of time knows the significant challenges and difficulties of entrepreneurship.

And no one knows that better than today's guest, Phil Bray, founder of the Yardstick Marketing Agency, which is growing fast and going from strength to strength.

However, during his business journey, Phil faced overwhelming challenges, eventually losing everything—his business, his house, even his car!

At the same time, his relationship fell apart, and he had a 5-year-old son to care for.

This is a story of passion, resilience, and retaining a positive mindset despite overwhelming difficulties. I hope it encourages you if you’re ever going through a tough time.

During our conversation,

• Phil shared how his ambitious business plans came crashing down when the great financial crisis of 2008 hit  - and the one thing he would never do again and recommends business owners avoid at all costs.
• He explains how he built personal resilience and managed to get through the toughest time of his life.
• Applying the lessons he learned,Phil provides a four-part ‘blueprint’ for business growth—priceless advice for all ambitious business owners.

And listen closely towards the end of our conversation when Phil shares his thoughtful definition of ‘True Wealth’ - I promise every business owner will relate to it!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Phil Bray
