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.

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.

I'm a lastborn child, born 6 months to make matters worse I'm dyslexia hadi my late mom called me a failure. I was infertile, sink in depression but during COVID-19 I was already healed I got calls right left & center from friends to inspire them since then I'm called Rangi ya thao na sina sponsor. I believe in my God of another chance. #semaKudooos !!!!!

I love his circle of friends; Abel Mutua;Judy Mrs Abel; Njugush and wife Celestine together with his wife I admire them alot may God bless me with such friends ❤

Have you all heard how Phil speaks high of Abel? May God grant us destiny purposed friends.

I will ever put deaf ears to anyone who will ever tell me that I can't make it,Mimi Lynn I will seat with you to talk about my success how I wish it will be Inspire Global or rebuilding..juu I am not a failure,I am going to make it big.. Phil is a great and a humble guy,kudos🎉

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.

Its Lynn for me giving phil his flowers. Men deserve to be validated. Such a candid conversation, i love it. Phil is such an amazing, humble guy you can feel it from his core. Thank you for having this conversation. Good job Lynn, you are doing an AMAZING JOB

Always admired this gentleman, so lovely hearing his story. Every word he says is profound. Wisdom packed.

Wow! It's Phil's humility for me, amidst all the achievements. You're blessed. Lynn, this was a super good conversation ❤

Grit, Resilence , Dedication and Focus...Thumbs up Phil

Two legends on a meaningful talk😌…! Thank you Lynn for bringing Phil on board.. ❤️

One of the most calm and humble guy in this industry... He is great

Just came out of depression, bumping to this interview has changed my whole perception about life. I think I now have a role model to look up to, thanks Sana Lynn and Phil.

Phil, you speak with so much humility. thank you Lynn for hosting Him.

I imagine Phil in the middle of Kate, Abel and Njugush. Then celestine,Tugi,Mumbuz and Bi. Mkurungezi. That big family is my best in Kenya. A sane generation bringing up sane generation. They have kept sanity in the entertainment industry.

Phil has such a calm aura! Keep winning Mr Karanja!

Our destiny is in the hands of God. No matter what men think of us

Great great interview,Phil is always this calm,collected, humble and a brilliant mind..such an inspiring story Waiting for a Abeli,njugush and cate too on the show

CEO Phil 💪🏾. This guy is like-able and humble.

Woow what an Inspirational conversation. I felt like you people were talking directly to me. One thing am always fighting hard is to eliminate poverty from my line including my circle.

Nobody's mentioning how sharply dressed he is. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love how composed Phil is.. Wonderful show ❤

I love what he has Said about appreciating someone effort and hardwork first and then proceed with offering guidance where it's needed.

It's okay for people not to believe in your vision, but it's not okay for you not to believe in yourself.

An authentic and inspiring interview, full of gems of wisdom. Phil and Abel are a representation of what ethical practice, hard work and consistency can do. Attitude for sure equals altitude. Keep it up.

Happy to see him in our LNN platform❤Good job

I also had the same feeling....we cannot always criticize efforts. Appreciation goes a long way!

his fashion is so much on point.

Love Phil! He's just growing and evolving so beautifully yaani. More blessings to you both.

these two can sit and appreciate each other for a week! we all need a Lynn and Phil at our corners, at our heart of hearts

An interview of Phil and Abel . Together 😊

God does wonders....this interview is an answer to my prayers.....my son just completed high school and was wondering about what he wanted.....and how to look for colleges for cinematography and film...I pray this interview inspires him...coz we are mefical personnel but fully dupport his decision

Sometimes our own our parents dim our lights.When our parents take part in thwarting our self esteem,,it becomes trauma and coming from that needs alot if unpacking. I'm learning alot from you Lynn, I'd love to have a conversation with you.I learn so much from the circle of friends (Abel,Phil and Njugush) the way the have each other's backs 😢😢,, it's rare these days.You have a priceless blessing.

I like such candid conversations..... from a man. Praying that society can embrace subjects like therapy, real feelings, emotions, heart issues, friendships....

Phil n Freddy were the ones glueing me to watch tahidi high school back then. Mad Respek to him. To you Lynn much ❤n have a blessed week

Aki this life watu wanapitia machungu but the good thing if you trust God, no condition is permanent! Lynn I wish one day you will host my husband too we love you and we have alot to tell to the world! I believe God's time will allows us to seat on your seat. Congratulations to that humble man for his hard work and may he live long to enjoy his wealth👏👏👏

From my immediate family I'm termed as a failure too, no support from them only hate and curses whenever I do something.... God, see me through and make me strong always

Sister Lynn I can't forget to thank God for allowing me to hug you I believe he will allow me to share my story with you at his own time. Baby Godswill amekusalimia pia alikuombea leo before aende shule🙏

Thank Lynn for bringing director Phil on board❤

Awesome interview!!! Much much respect to both of you. Phil director you saved my life with one of your very initial interviews and since then I have asked God to keep on adding into your life. Much love to both of you ❤🎉

Happy to see my fellow millenials putting in the work and inspiring us despite whatever area of skill we are on❤❤❤❤

Have always admired how Calm, cool and humble he is even with the fame he doesnt let it get to him. Always looks well dressed , groomed and classsy and trully talented. Love the crowd he keeps around him too, they really are real good people too. Success all the way!

He is so mature,unproblematic,focus and sooo humble.

I really really respect this Director and his work ethics.

I am inspired. Congratulations Director Phil on the achievements thus far.

Success is where preparation meets opportunity, that got me good 😊

Its always inspiring to listen to positive success stories

Wow. What a show. Dedication, focus is the way to Go. It's about loving what you're doing. Absolutely

Same here, i was told i won't amount to nothing in my childhood to early Adulthood 🙃. On the contrary, i amounted to be a very successful person.

Side note...his voice is extremely soothing in a way that exudes authenticity.

Its so refreshing to hear you guys talk about facing imposter syndrome. Am so inspired. At least i know am normal but require some work😊

Am loving all this positive vibes and encouragement thanks for bringing phil karanja on the show.❤❤

Thank you Lynn for this interview,it has come in the right moment that my son proposed to take a course in film making.now am convinced that there is light in that industry.God bless you

Wao this part on men growing up ... There is a whole book of rules on how men should behave... This has disturbed part of my life. I wrote something yesterday and threw it to my low blog ... 'From childhood, we’re taught that real men don’t cry; they’re impervious to emotional turbulence. Tears are for the weak, and vulnerability is like Kryptonite to our masculinity. So, we become emotional escapologists, contorting our feelings into a box marked “Do Not Open” and locking them away deep within the recesses of our souls. And why stop at just concealing emotions? Let’s throw in the age-old cliché - the stone-faced exterior. We’re expected to be unshakable, like Mount Everest. Life’s challenges may be as relentless as an avalanche, but we’ll stand tall and unyielding, never letting anyone see the quivers of uncertainty beneath the surface. Picture this: we walk into the bathroom, and there it is - the most terrifying creature known to humankind, a spider! But do we flinch? Oh no, not us! We put on our poker face, staring at that eight-legged monster like it’s just another day at the zoo. Internally, we’re debating whether to run for our lives or unleash the battle cry of a fearless warrior. Yet, on the outside, we remain as cool as an Arctic breeze. But let’s not forget the hilarious twist to this performance - our impeccable “Nothing bothers me” facade. We’ve perfected the art of subtle gestures and expressions that send the message, “I’m as calm as a cucumber in a Zen garden.” Even when faced with life’s curveballs, we’ve got this covered. It’s like a secret language of masculinity, where “I’m fine” translates to “Help, I’m drowning in an ocean of emotions!” And oh, the irony! While we’re busy mastering emotional gymnastics, we secretly envy the freedom others have to express themselves openly. We witness the emotional eruptions of our partners or friends and wonder what it’s like to set emotions free like colorful balloons dancing in the wind. Alas, we’re stuck in a paradoxical bubble, where letting go feels like betraying our “man card.” ......
