Today we’d like to introduce you to Phil Clancy.
Phil, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
PhilGoodFacts started as a simple idea to help people with their daily lives. It then spawned into YouTube channel videos and Instagram quotes and videos. My goal was to inform people of their relationship habits and get them to see their life decisions came from within. My clients consist of men and women in the surrounding areas who need a relationship/life coach that has a real perspective on things. During my matriculation at Howard University, I quickly realized I had an understanding that many did not so I decided eventually I would do something with that. I know speak at Boys and Girls clubs, schools, and businesses in a motivational/life advice capacity. Today, I deal with one on one clients and small group settings. I have a podcast where I talk about current events and life experiences. I also have a separate video series called “PhilGoodFacts” which directly gives relationship advice to the viewers.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
With anything, the road is going to have smooth parts and bumpy parts. The rough parts of the road come from your inner thoughts. Sometimes you feel like things can start to grow too fast and you don’t know if you can handle it.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
PhilGoodFacts is a business rooted in relationship/life coaching. Speaking at venues such as live podcast, boys and girls clubs, and schools alike have been my specialty. I also specialize in relationship coaching and life coaching from a one on one perspective. I am most proud of the continued growth we will see in helping students and becoming more pivotal in the community. I believe what sets me and my company apart from others is the ability to connect on a deeper level than most. Some people come and speak to speak, I come and speak to change the trajectory of someone’s life.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was a pretty chill child. I played sports, basketball, and basketball, and I was good at school. I was into church early on and that is where I got my first taste of public speaking. I was more-so forced to speak in that capacity but it was good practice. In HS, I was pretty popular and continued to excel in sports and academics. I enjoyed HS because there wasn’t much to it. It all came pretty easy to me so I was able to live up to the nickname “Cool Phil” because it was such a breeze to me. I was always an inquisitive child and enjoyed asking questions in class. Sometimes, questions got me in “trouble” because I always challenged the “status quo”. I am also the oldest of three (two younger sisters) so I had to become the third parent fairly quickly. I learned how to be a big brother and look after them because I had to. It taught me responsibility at an early age and was a pivotal part of why I wanted to help people.
