In this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Phil Fraser to talk about a side of entrepreneurship that isn’t discussed enough  loneliness at the top. Phil shares his journey from being a “failed” accountant to building and eventually selling a multi-award-winning business in a multi-million-pound deal. Along the way, he learned why many entrepreneurs focus on what they like doing instead of what actually moves the business forward  and the cost of that avoidance. They explore why it’s okay to discover your passion later than everyone else, the reality behind “accidental” businesses, and a simple but powerful way Phil works through business challenges when things feel stuck.

What to expect in this episode:

(00:00) – Why entrepreneurship can feel lonely at the top
 (04:20) – From failed accountant to advertising and business ownership
 (08:10) – Why it’s normal to discover your passion later
 (12:30) – The making of an accidental business
 (16:40) – Phil’s PITA Patter Technique

In this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Andrew Miller to explore the one element that truly sets businesses up for long-term success  and why money alone is a dangerously incomplete definition of success. Andrew challenges the traditional view of achievement and shares why so many “successful” people still feel stressed, disconnected, and unfulfilled. Together, they unpack the business enjoyment model, the role of vulnerability in building meaningful relationships, and how aligning your mind, heart, and gut changes not just how you do business  but how you live your life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that business growth is inseparable from personal growth.

 (16:10) – Looking out for yourself vs. looking out for others
 (19:30) – The Three Nots that drive human behaviour
 (22:50) – Why business is really a journey of self-discovery
