Ep 144. The Lie You’ve Been Told About Success

Phil Portman had the six-figure job. The respect. The routine.

But somewhere between morning meetings and endless emails, he realised:

He was succeeding at a life he didn’t want.

In this episode, we dig into what no one talks about:
How success—when misaligned—can be its own kind of failure.

We talk about:

The identity crisis that hit after Phil “made it”
Why building a business just to escape a job will still leave you empty
The lie productivity sells us about purpose and freedom
And what it really takes to take your time, energy, and life back

Phil shares how he rebuilt his relationship with ambition, rewrote his story, and created a framework for success that includes his family, his freedom—and himself.

If you’re grinding your way to a version of success that feels more draining than fulfilling…
This conversation will hit home.
