In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Phil shares a personal story that highlights a simple truth: being present matters. From a summer water-ski mishap to two phone calls during a time of loss, Phil reflects on how small acts of showing up, whether in person, by phone, or through a message, can make a lasting impact. As we move into 2026, this episode encourages us to be intentional about supporting others in both good times and difficult moments. Showing up is about connection, care, and making people feel valued.

In this final episode of 2025, Phil challenges listeners to shift their perspective from asking what the new year will bring to asking what they will bring to the new year. Change is inevitable, and lifelong learning is the key to staying prepared. By exploring new skills and broadening knowledge, we strengthen our minds and open doors to new opportunities. Phil encourages everyone to commit to growth in 2026 because the possibilities are endless.
