In this episode of Most Memorable Journeys, I speak with Phil Treagus Evans — author of Human First Marketing and CEO of Giraffe Social Media, a global agency built on creativity, authenticity, and connection.

Phil is not only a business leader but also a storyteller at heart. With his forward-thinking approach to marketing, he challenges the old ways of chasing algorithms and instead emphasizes putting people first. His book Human First Marketing has become a guide for entrepreneurs and brands who want to lead with empathy, authenticity, and purpose.

We also talk about the freedom he has built into his life and business, running a successful company that allows him to work from anywhere in the world. Alongside him on this journey is his wife, Leah Marie, a gifted photographer specializing in wedding photography, who shares his adventurous and creative spirit.
