Ben Schmidt hosts Phil Evans on the very first episode of Sounds Like Schmidt. A podcast for cReativ3 entrepreneurs looking to rise up and tackle resistance head on. When we cross over the threshold into our unknown worlds, we're put to the ultimate test as we face head on our greatest inner demons. 

Will you prevail? Will you start that business? Will you finish that project? Will you lose those 30lbs?
.... will the HERO in you rise?

Phil Evans is REALTOR© residing in Halifax NS, and a new friend. Phil's my amigo from another man's burrito. We share similarities with real estate, travelling, "partying",  journaling, high performance, personal finance, self-development and more.

Born in Newfoundland, Phil worked his way across the Great White North. He would spend every cent he could earn on exploring the world and it paid off! Valuing experiences over equities and memories over materials  since a young age, Phil's heart enthusiastically led him to a life of adventure. Eventually the compounding effects of his vegabond lifestyle would have him at a personal crossroads.

Over the last few decades, Phil has lived in six different provinces and explored over 40 counties. He's picked apples in New Zealand, taught English in South Korea and sailed the seas on cruise ships, DJ'n his way from Alaska to the Caribbean. 

At 28, Phil returned to school to attain his MBA and was left with the task of picking up the tab of a life well travelled and an education earned. The desire to combine his formal education & knowledge from travel with his creative  nature, he found his outlet in the world of real estate sales & ownership.  Something he always felt drawn towards. 

Now in his 5th year of real estate, Phil has grown a tremendously successful sales business. At the time of filming he held the 14th overall units sold position in Canada, for his brokerage Keller Williams!
