Episode 014: Starting Again: Stripping Away the Ego to Build a Meaningful Life

from The Oddi Poddi · host Adrian Oddi

The following is a conversation with Will Phillips, Principal of Sotheby’s Byron Bay and one of the most elite real estate performers in the country. Will hit a wall at the top of the Sydney market and made a choice most men are too afraid to make: he stepped away. We talk about the toxic "one-upmanship" of the city, the liberating power of selling the Porsche and the house, and the reality of traveling the country in a van to find a new version of success. This is about the discipline of routine, the importance of legacy, and why real ambition means being the man your kids actually need. • 📸 Follow Will Phillips on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/willphillipsbyronbay/  • 💼 Connect with Will Phillips on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-phillips-2b07892a/  Welcome to The Oddi Poddi podcast.
