Start and Grow

Lived experience in a weekly email to help grow your business. No hype. Always free.

The Backstory

Phil Hayes-St Clair (PhilHSC) is a husband, a father of girls and a serial entrepreneur with grit, resilience and heart. Each week he shares practical advice from building four companies to help people create momentum and build products that people love.

Phil calls this ‘being in motion‘.

These resources started as Phil’s side hustle, but have grown into 150+ podcast episodes, 350+ blog posts, and many lessons learned. May they inspire you and help you learn faster, wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey.

Today he is CEO & Co-Founder at Drop Bio, a personalised health biotechnology venture based on the predictive potential of blood. Previously, he built Air Share, a world-first audio recognition and interaction technology for radio.

An Ambassador at Inspiring Rare Birds and Soldier On, Phil mentors over 40 entrepreneurs and has represented Australia twice: on the national triathlon team and as an Army infantry soldier.
