Philip Moranto's story hit me different. Former pro skateboarder turned mindset coach. But this isn't your typical athlete success story. This is about surviving chaos and choosing to rebuild. Philip grew up in a world most of us can't imagine. Father had him at 47. Brothers in their 50s. Out till one in the morning as a kid with older crowds. Violence. Drugs. Crime. All before he was even a teenager. Skateboarding saved his life. Gave him structure when everything else was falling apart. Purpose when the world felt purposeless. But here's what most people don't know about pro sports. The window closes fast. Really fast. At 25 Philip was told he was too old to pursue skateboarding. Twenty-five. Let that sink in. Most of his buddies fell off the financial cliff after their careers ended. No plan. No preparation. No understanding of life after the sport. Philip watched talented people end up homeless. Saw legends struggling just to survive. That's when everything changed for him. Between 24 and 28 his world collapsed. Lost his mom. Lost his grandma. Lost his dad. Business deals fell apart. He was heading down a dark path. But at 28 he made a choice. Started working on himself. Spent two years completely focused on becoming the best version of himself. That's when he discovered his real calling. Helping others do the same thing. Philip noticed something about the coaching industry. More coaches than ever. More people struggling than ever. Depression at all time highs. Anxiety through the roof. Something wasn't working. His approach is different. Real. Based on actual experience not just theory. His wisdom comes from surviving chaos. From building calm out of complete destruction. From understanding that sometimes life hits you with everything at once and you still have to find a way forward. This conversation reveals the truth about transitions. About seasons ending. About choosing growth when everything around you is falling apart. Philip's final words were pure gold. Three things you must do with money. Make it. Keep it. Duplicate it. Most people never get past the first one.
