Thank you both for this wonderful piece. I know Lynn in her interview with Phil said she is not reading anything at the moment, taking time off consuming that sort of material but since imposter syndrome is real for the two of you please find the book ''The imposter cure by Dr. Jessamy Hibberd'' when you get back to reading. Or if I can send it to your individual office addresses, I really will. Hopefully, the books do not get trashed.😇 My take home here is; If you work hard, diligently with integrity, and consistently, it pays off; you have to put in the hours. You have to have boundaries and choose partners that have the same vision and goals. Remember the mode of delivery varies from person to person but find out their thing and aid each other.

Saw Phil and Abel one day at the mall, and I called out to him and he turned, smiled and waved back. Very humble guy. May God continue to uplift him.

The story has taught me a lot. I have a son who always performs poorly in school and he is almost giving up on education and Phil has just taught me that, no matter the situation at hand, God ''s planned must be fulfilled.

Based on the way he practices active listening and the way he responds to the question (with humility, intelligence, and critical thinking), I think he is a very successful director with a remarkable personality. I learned a lot from this episode, particularly as a person who many thought that I would be a failure.
