Phil Strong: Business Edge General Manager
Phil calls himself a social entrepreneur. He and his wife Kathy start businesses with a view to growing others. The list of his business ventures, past and present, include owning a building company, a national real estate company, an on-line shop for families, a financial services company, and millions of dollars of property. All these businesses were formed with a purpose of growing the people inside them, to see them released into their own futures.

Phil operates as General Manager /Business Development, implementing strategies to expand Business Edge and supporting Business Edge members to do the same.
Phil and Kathy have two children, Jackson and Grace, along with a handful of friendly sheep and a crazy goat called Dodge.
