Description

‘Life On Your Terms’ with Phil Graham is designed for accomplished entrepreneurs & individuals who are trying to figure out or want to make the most out of their next big move in life and business.


By the age of 30, Phil Graham has accomplished what take most a lifetime. He possesses wisdom well beyond his years, and is someone worth listening to no matter where you’re at in life or business.


When Phil was younger, he had his health taken away from him when he was diagnosed with type one diabetes. He was told he wouldn’t lead a normal life and that his future would be uncertain.


Phil set out on a mission to defy the odds, take control and totally transform his life.


He went on to become a champion bodybuilder despite being told it was impossible, authored the world’s first encyclopaedia on how to build muscle and get in shape with diabetes and now is founder of the world’s largest training organisation for fitness entrepreneurs. Phil’s work has impacted and changed the lives of countless individuals and entrepreneurs.


Phil makes millions in profit every single year, working less than 20 hours per week doing what he loves.


He has built one of the most impressive lifestyle businesses in the world and is on a mission to share the thinking behind his success with entrepreneurs who want to get the most out of life and business.


What start doing about all of this is that Phil wouldn’t be able to have achieve any of this without diabetes.


Phil's personal philosophy centers around the power of defiance, the ability to turn chaos into order, trusting in the flow of life, and refusing to settle for mediocrity. He believes in personal sovereignty, self-reliance, and the courage to be authentically rebellious, principles that have guided his journey to success.


This podcast will inspire you to think deeper, bigger and provides actionable insights to help you live life on your terms.


"Life on Your Terms" revolves around the concept of seven currencies for success, including freedom, money, health, family, relationships, identity, and mission.


Phil believes that many people miss out on success by letting their inner child run their business, making decisions based on circumstances rather than vision, and failing to understand that success is a feeling, not just a material goal.


You'll discover actionable strategies, inspirational stories, and interviews with remarkable individuals. Phil will guide you on your journey to success and personal growth, helping you overcome obstacles, break free from average, and experience the beauty of life. Tune in to engage in clear, direct, and powerful calm discussions that encourage you to think deeper and live life on your terms.
