Welcome to the Heads Up With Phil Galfond Podcast, where we listen in on a coaching call between Phil and a guest. In these episodes, Phil coaches the guest through whatever is holding them back from what they want to achieve.
Whether it's this call or another, Phil and his guests will explore many topics together, including: approaching poker and life in a professional manner, struggling to make the next step while reaching higher, addressing mindset blocks cemented in childhood, and the patterns of decisions that lead to hardship while pursuing self-employment.
