About this episode
"Pivot" is the name of the game in today's episode. Our guest certainly has a deep understanding of what it's like to not have things work out the way you planned them. Phil Daru from a young age had wanted to play professional football and some decisions that he made became obstacles on his journey. But even still he pressed on. Until circumstances prevented him from moving forward. He changed course and got into fighting until that also was no longer an option. Phil shares his journey with the young men of Apogee and how he obtained success and built the brand that he has today.
