Like many people, James Berg regularly has chats about business and gets advice from his Dad. The difference for James is that his Dad, Phil Berg, is a sought-after speaker and trainer who went from selling carpets on a market stall to presenting, helping and influencing thousands of businesses all over the world. Known for his heartfelt, inspiring and common-sense approach, Phil is one of those rare people who can take an audience on a journey of feel-good emotions; reinforcing belief in themselves and leaving them feeling inspired to pursue their life and business goals. Outside of his speaking engagements, people don't often get the chance to hear Phil's brilliant advice, so James decided to start this podcast to share the business chats him and his Dad have with all of you.

Phil & James both regularly present to large audiences and Phil will frequently present to 1000+ audience members. In this episode they both share tips and tricks they have learnt along the way to help you overcome nerves (which they both still suffer from) and how they view it in the same vein as going in to battle. You will be sure to feel ready to conquer those nerves after listening to this advice. 

Phil has made his name due to his networking abilities. He started off networking nearly 20 years ago at BNI, and has since become one of the world's most in demand speakers on the subject. In this episode, Phil & James talk networking do's and don'ts. Expect to hear many of Phil's nuggets of wisdom that he has collected over 20 years of networking.
