It’s easier to excel when we do the things we are passionate about.

For the final episode of the year, I interviewed Phil McHugh, Senior Director of Customer Success at Hubspot, a.k.a my boss.

From the outside Phil’s career looks like a supersonic rocket, starting out as an Account Manager and going straight up to the moon. But through this chat, we are reminded that no success story is devoid of challenges.

On the path from computer science drop-out to advertising and then technology, Phil reflects on the importance of knowing what you don’t want, how he discovered a passion for advertising, moving to the U.S., saying “yes” to a weird proposition and more. Phil is a storyteller, you won’t want this one to end.

In his own words, “Never be afraid of saying yes to something. We need to make big and bold decisions to continue growing.”

Tune in, buckle up and get ready for a journey!
