On this episode of Tearin’ Up My Heart, we’re digging into the value of empathy with serial entrepreneur and strategic growth advisor Phil Neil. With a background scaling companies to $80M+ exits and a reputation for seeing the human behind the hustle, Phil offers a fresh perspective on what it means to lead with heart in high-impact spaces.

Phil describes empathy as the “superpower” behind his success as a connector and strategist. In this conversation, we explore how empathy can shape everything from one-on-one partnerships to multimillion-dollar decisions. He shares real stories from deep-tech to M&A, and explains how staying emotionally attuned helps unlock sustainable, values-driven growth.

Whether you're a founder, executive, or emerging leader, this episode invites you to rethink empathy not as a soft skill, but as a strategic edge in leadership.
