With over two decades of global experience in advertising, fine arts, and brand development, Phillip opens up about:

🔹 Why boundaries, kindness, and purpose are non-negotiable in modern business

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
