We had the good fortune of connecting with Phillip ‘Phenom’ Robinson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from others are my multifaceted skill sets and early start in the professional world. My passion for storytelling and productivity has not only shaped my career but also my mission to educate and inspire others. I am most proud of his ability to translate my experiences into actionable strategies for success that others can duplicate. Some of these can be seen in my book “Ignore The Fluff,” TEDx talks, motivational albums, and globally recognized podcasts.

This journey has definitely been far from easy. Starting my career so early I was challenged with missing out on normal young adult experiences, missing major milestones/celebrations of friends and family and so much more. It hurts looking back on it but I honestly don’t regret it. I wouldn’t be where I am not without sacrifice. Some of the lessons I’ve learned have been:

– Start early and take every opportunity to learn and grow.
– Persistence pays off – facing and overcoming challenges is part of the journey to success.
– Simplification is key – breaking down goals into manageable parts increases productivity.
– Share your knowledge – teaching others not only multiplies your impact but also reinforces your own understanding.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
This is a hard question for me because I am not the outgoing and social person so I’m not sure of the best spots to hangout. It truly depends on what you’re into. I’d say go to the Skate Ranch for adult skating sessions on Sunday night, Boxcar, and Drive Shack.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to thank every single person that believed in me. They are the reason why I keep going.
