Notable Quotes:
* One teaches, two learn.
* I've always loved teaching. I just couldn't find a good business model that made sense
* I don't imagine that there's a second job after this. This is it for me, whether I make a lot of money or no money at all. This is what I'm gonna do.
* I start to realize this is something I love to do and I'd like to do it more because it's very thrilling to be able to help someone. But you also learn so much about yourself and the way you think in your creative process when you share it with someone else.
* I'd like to teach in a style that I've described as full-contact teaching. There's no light sparring here. If we want to learn, we have to learn how to get uncomfortable with each other.
* I don't think many people are born thick-skinned. I think it's something you develop, uh, through conditioning, and the more you expose yourself to criticism, the less it's going to bother you. You, you learn how to cope and overcome these things.
* Perfectionism is a strategy to avoid something. So it's an avoidance strategy.
* Entrepreneurship is a lonely endeavor. It's a lonely pursuit.
* So I would say to everybody, one, make sure before you make a big expensive decision like this that is grounded in reality and that there's some, a level of commitment from you and your team to make it work. Otherwise, you're going to just self-sabotage.

Also quite notably Old Navy, the most successful retailer in history and the company he helped  reach $1B in sales in under 5 years. 

We chat with Philip and find out what it takes to have a good brand story, what to pursue to gain clarity in case you’re still unsure, and how can your brand story help transform the lives of others.

Quotable Quotes:
“People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe”-Simon Sinek Start with Why
Every brand evolves, no brand is static.
Our progression is not linear. 
Having the ability to really articulate that story in an effective and emotive way is the difference between a brand that succeeds and one that fails.
No brand is ever done.
A T-shaped skillset is where you're really good and deep in one. A V-shaped skill set is where you're really good in deep in one thing. But you can also do a bunch of other things kind of half well or somewhat.
I'm really transparent around the challenges that I've had because people can identify with that.
People come for coaching not because they're feeling fantastic about where they are. People come for coaching because they're struggling or they're struggling emotionally or psychologically or financially or in their career the y've met some sort of obstacle that they're trying to find their way around.
 It's really hard to admit your failures but the more you do it, the more it helps people.
I'll never get over the excitement of seeing some sort of artwork that I've done walking down the street on someone's chest.
Curiosity to me is a slower burn. It's more of a process. It's more of something that evolves over time. So I counsel people to pay attention to what they're curious about.
Passion is what results from the pursuit of curiosity, that over time as you pursue what you're curious about and it gets clearer, what it is that really lights your fire passion is the reason. Of years of curiosity, so that you develop a passion for something it's not something that you decide upfront.
Transformation  is about accepting those side jogs in the web of your career or your life.
I want to be remembered as a creative person who helped other people have wonderful creative lives.
My goal is to help, help creative succeed in life.
