Philip McKernan is an author, speaker, filmmaker, and coach, but he’s more than his titles.
Dr. Laura heard Philip speak a few years ago, and the overwhelming vibration of resonance spoke to her so much that she knew she would work with him in some capacity one day - which she has. Philip talks about his Brave Soul program and why he believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found in the meaning we derive in life, work, our relationship with others, and the most important relationship of all — the one with oneself.
Dr. Laura and Philip talk about what it means to be courageous and embrace your gift, how to step into your artistry, and how our biggest gift is sometimes right next to our deepest wound. Philip shares what it means to him to be brave, and what happens when we embody our gifts in the most meaningful way possible.

He helps people get clear on who they are and where they need to go. He helps them transition in their personal and professional lives so people feel aligned in all areas of life. Philip believes who and what we do “off the ice” has a huge impact on our results “on the ice.” His groundbreaking Team Deepening™ work with organizations gives teams a refreshing way to connect and build real and collective resilience.
What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers, and gurus is originality. He brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life-hacking strategies. Philip McKernan is a philosopher, a modern-day philosopher of the human experience. His pioneering philosophy around SoulSet™ equips and empowers people to uncover their gifts and impact the world.

He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe, built an orphanage in Peru, written five books despite being dyslexic, and created his first documentary film called Give & Grow. The film explores how the gift of giving makes us feel more worthy and alive. It also explores the science behind the impact of giving on our emotional well-being, our mental health, our physiology, and our businesses.
Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship with OTHERS, and the most important relationship of all, the one with one’s SELF.
