The Phoenix Ascent Podcast
The Phoenix Ascent: Where Success Isn’t About Luck What separates true champions from one-hit wonders? The Phoenix Ascent tells the extraordinary stories of entrepreneurs who didn’t just build fortunes once—they lost everything and built it back even bigger, proving their success was never about luck. Our unique criteria is strict: To be featured on The Phoenix Ascent, you must have gone from rags to riches, lost it all, then risen again to even greater heights. These aren’t your typical success stories—these are tales of ultimate resilience, character, and the unbreakable human spirit. From George Foreman’s journey from Olympic champion to bankruptcy to a $300 million grill empire, to Walt Disney’s path from animation studio failure to entertainment mogul, each episode reveals the mindset and strategies that turn devastating failure into the foundation for unprecedented success. Hosted with cinematic storytelling and professional production, The Phoenix Ascent doesn’t just inspire—it proves that when life knocks you down, true champions use that fall as fuel to rise higher than ever before. Because in the end, anyone can succeed once. But only phoenixes rise from the ashes stronger than before. New episodes every week.
