Part 1 of 2: 🔥 “Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Success (And the Hidden Trait Behind It All)” | Dr. Philip Agrios.
Guest: Dr. Philip Agrios | Creator of the T-NOW Method
Â
👤 Who is Dr. Philip Agrios?
Dr. Philip Agrios is a former physician turned elite performance strategist who discovered the Inborn Sabotaging Trait—a biologically hardwired behavior pattern that unconsciously blocks success. After a forced career shutdown due to chronic illness, he developed the T-NOW Method, a 5-step system that helps individuals instantly transform their sabotaging trait into a Success Trait.
His method has been used by CEOs, high-performing entrepreneurs, and trauma survivors alike to remove deep, invisible barriers and radically realign their lives from the inside out.

🔥 For Listeners Who…

Are you tired of mindset hacks and need a neuroscience-backed method that actually sticks
Carry the burden of being “the strong one” in their families, businesses, or communities.

đź§ About the Episode:
You’ve probably never heard this before:
You’re not sabotaging yourself because you’re broken.
You’re doing it because a trait you were born with is still trying to protect you.
However, what protected you as a child is now undermining your fulfillment, health, and results.
In this episode, Dr. Philip Agrios joins me to reveal how your Inborn Sabotaging Trait is the core driver behind recurring business blocks, relationship breakdowns, and inner turmoil. We explore how this biological glitch, combined with your learned identity, keeps high performers trapped in invisible cages.
More importantly, we explore how to flip that trait into its opposite: your Success Trait.
This episode isn’t about self-help. It’s about self-interrogation.
