Guest Bio

Philip Wride is a seasoned digital entrepreneur who started in the online gaming space at 16 and went on to launch successful ventures, consult for billion-dollar brands, build marketing automation campaigns, and create innovative digital products. After a game-changing rugby injury and the challenges of COVID-19, Philip pivoted his business strategy to focus on leveraging his expertise in tech and digital branding to help others—especially women in the coaching industry—achieve freedom, growth, and scalability.

Key Lessons From Episode

  • Follow your passion—even if it seems unconventional—as it can lead to unexpected opportunities and long-term freedom.
  • Embrace adversity and see setbacks (like injury or economic downturns) as chances to pivot and reinvent your approach.
  • Build your business around your core values, such as freedom, contribution, or impact, to maintain personal fulfillment and direction.
  • Don't be afraid to blend learning and action; seek out mentors, continue self-education, and collaborate to accelerate your growth.
  • Customize your process and solutions to the unique stage and needs of each client or project, instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Recognize the power of leverage—find ways to monetize your experience and knowledge for greater reach and less dependency on time-for-money work.
  • Define what success and freedom look like for you personally, and design your entrepreneurial journey to match those goals.
