Discover Your Unique Magic with Phil Hellmuth

What sets you apart from the pack in the current landscape?

I’m so honored to welcome Phil Hellmuth to today’s episode of the I Own It Podcast. He is a professional poker player with a record sixteen World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and a 2007 inductee of WSOP’s Poker Hall of Fame. He is hailed as of the greatest tournament players of all time. 

Being diagnosed with ADD and ADHD didn’t hold him back from showing his ultra-competitive side. Born into a family of high achievers, he found his superpowers in games and game strategies… blossoming into his top-tier poker skills today!

We’re all given gifts and weaknesses, but Phil embraces every bit of his authentic self. Practicing humility and positivity brought him immense success in his field – and you can experience the same benefits as well by doing the same.

Tune in as Phil Hellmuth reveals all: his ups and downs in self-improvement, valuable poker advice that is helpful in real life, his heart for charity work, why he’ll never let his children play pro, and what it takes to become one of the greats.
