🎙️ Taking Chances – Why Not You? with Phil Young!!!

Phil is living proof that chasing big dreams—on foot and in business—can lead to extraordinary places. Meet Phil Young, owner of Fleet Feet Davenport, recently named one of the best shoe stores in America.

But Phil’s not just lacing up success in retail—he’s also one of the fastest humans to ever run 100 miles, holding one of the top times in the world. Yes, you heard that right.

In this episode, we dive into what it takes to build a nationally recognized business, the mindset behind ultra-endurance running, and why taking chances isn’t just for the bold—it’s for anyone ready to ask, “Why not me?”

From shoes to strategy, grit to gratitude—this one’s got it all. Let’s go.
