Phil Thompson’s story isn’t your typical finance career.

He started out flipping through the air as a world-class acrobat… before pivoting into the world of insurance. Now, as the founder of Sky Wealth, Phil has carved out a bold niche: a business dedicated to risk-only advice.

In this episode, Phil shares:

• How circus training shaped his resilience and competitive edge.
• The leap from performing to financial planning.
• Why Sky Wealth only focuses on insurance — and how that helps clients.
• Real-world insights on premiums, mental health disclosures, and business structuring.
• What he’s learned about leadership, money, and backing yourself in business.

It’s equal parts entertaining and eye-opening — perfect for anyone curious about careers, risk, and the mindset it takes to reinvent yourself.
