My name is Phil Bohol, and in this podcast, I'm going to be covering everything from personal development and growth to business to health, nutrition, family, finances, marriage, your relationship with your kids, everything that has helped me go from a third world country.[00:00:30] To working a nine to five corporate job to going online and building multiple seven figure businesses and how somebody that almost dropped out of high school was able to do that.And the best way that I'm going to be able to share with you exactly all of those things that I'm going to be training throughout the duration of this entire show is sharing a little bit about my background and experience.[00:01:00] So back in the nineties, my father brought us here from the Philippines. And we moved to Arizona in Phoenix and we started really in humble beginnings.We had a house, it was like a nice little humble house, but it was the best possible house we could ever have. I mean, way better than what we would have had in the Philippines. And we had this in my mind, a dream life, something that I thought you'd see in like Hallmark movies. We had the family, we had the house, we had, you know, property that was ours.We had food on the table. We could experience things like Christmas.[00:01:30] Thanksgiving, all these holidays that you see in movies. And for me, it was like picture perfect. It was like the best thing. And I lived in like this dreamland. And when we went from Phoenix, Arizona to California, things started to kind of change.Our lives leveled up. My father got a promotion. He got into this bigger company. And that's when things started to kind of change. So by the time I hit 10 years old, that's when my whole world shattered. I went from this happy go lucky kid.[00:02:00] That basically lived in a bubble of what he thought was a movie of a life, to going to the deepest, darkest areas of his life.True darkness. And from the age of 10 and onward, I went through the hardest times of my life. This is where I lost my family. We separated because my mother and father, you know, went through their divorce. It was very messy. It lasted almost a decade to actually finalize.And throughout that time we were bouncing back and forth between parents.[00:02:30] Personally, myself, I was bouncing around from house to house to house, sometimes wondering where am I going to live next? And for a short period of time, I was actually homeless. I didn't have somewhere to actually live for the long term. I had to find places to live and to crash at people's places because the toxicity in the household was just, it was too much.By the time I was about 12-13 years old. Is when I started actually dabbling in the online era. [00:03:00] So that was Myspace at the time. And I learned actually how to code during that time where I built my first business at 13 years old and I was making hundreds of dollars here and there. So for a 13 year old, that's a lot of money.I did a 5,000 deal at 13 years old. That 5,000 I made from selling what I sold online allowed me to buy my own 1993 BMW 325i, cash. And I couldn't even drive it. But I bought that because that was something. [00:03:30] That nobody could ever take from me. I earned that. And it's very different from how I felt when I was 10, when I felt like everybody took everything from me.Everybody took the life that I knew from me. So I had this weird chip on my shoulder to prove to myself that I can provide for myself and for my loved ones how I wanted to. Where nobody can tak
