Phil is a world-renowned strength and conditioning coach and is the founder of Daru Strong, a brand dedicated to helping one's performance, life, longevity, personal growth, and becoming the best versions of themselves. A former college football player, Phil transitioned into an MMA career. Later on he found that strength and conditioning was his greatest passion - and decided to go all-in as a career path. Phil works with some of the most elite athletes and fighters in the world like Dustin Poirier, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Tecia Torres, and many more athletes, fighters, and celebrities. Phil has built an impressive brand and is constantly inspiring his followers to be healthier - both physically & mentally. This was a first for the podcast as while we were recording - Phil was getting a tattoo done (throughout this whole conversation) - and he managed to stay focused, not once flinching or complaining about the pain at all. Phil and I discussed: Why he made the switch from fighting to coaching What fight camp looks like for elite fighters Training Dustin Poirier Weight cutting Importance of rest days Are there ceilings in personal ability? Tips on how to grow an online community Which fighter trait is the most important And much more... Phil Daru My Take: You are truly capable of greatness if you simply commit and persist. Growing financially, and mentally - becoming better, stronger, more capable - all stems from self-belief and the willingness to go out there and achieve. If plan a fails, try plan b. If that goes south, go to plan c - but never quit, and never accept failure. How To Start A Podcast Support The Podcast
