  • Phil Cave: Work In Your Strengths And Beware Of Ego
    May 6 2026

    Phil Cave is the Principal and Partner at private equity firm, Anchorage. In this conversation, Phil shares about his career running and turning around major businesses and what it takes to succeed in business. But, Karl and Phil also talk about the time he considered a career change and moving into ministry. He’ll share why he didn’t make the change and how God has used him exactly where he is.

    Phil Cave’s insights remind us that whether in ministry or business, understanding our strengths and limitations is essential for fulfillment and success. By surrounding ourselves with supportive people and recognizing where we can best serve, we can avoid burnout and enhance our contributions.

    As Phil aptly puts it, "Let's maximise our skills."

    Key Takeaways: - Burnout often stems from working outside one’s strengths. - Faith can grow in unexpected places, such as sports. - Leadership is rooted in effective people management. - It’s crucial to empower others and avoid micromanagement. - Recognizing and maximizing our skills leads to fulfillment.
