Why don't you start a business? l Jacob Kleinman Phillips

from The Doer Paradox · host Jason Horne

Sometimes the biggest shifts in life don't start with a plan. They start with a simple question. In this episode of The Doer Paradox, Jason sits down with brand strategist and founder of Touchpoint Design, Jacob Kleinman Phillips. We talk about the moment that changed his trajectory, Jacob was already doing the work, designing, freelancing, building creative projects, but it took someone asking a simple question to reframe everything: "Why don't you start a business?"What followed was the realization that the path he was already walking could become something bigger. Jason and Jacob talk about creative childhoods, an education leading to industrial design degrees, and the moments where a small shift in perspective opens the door to building something real.
