Phillip Hogan, author of the book on Relentless Excellence – A Story About Family, Business Building and Value-Driven Leadership joins Enterprise Radio. He’s the CEO of Signing Services of America and also host of Closing Market Weekly.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Phillip Hogan discuss the following:
- Phillip, you grew up working in your family’s businesses in Harlem before most kids had a bedtime routine. What did those early experiences teach you about building something that lasts — and how can today’s entrepreneurs apply that same foundation?
- You’ve navigated addiction, cancer, military service, and building a company to 65,000 people — most entrepreneurs face one major crisis. What is the single mindset shift that helped you keep going when quitting would have been the logical choice?
- Relentless Excellence is built around value-driven leadership. In practical terms, what does that look like on a Monday morning inside a business — and what’s the most common mistake you see entrepreneurs make when it comes to leading with values instead of just posting them on a wall?
- You built Signing Services of America into a nationally recognized company while also founding a nonprofit, hosting a podcast, and now writing a book. For the entrepreneur listening who feels stretched too thin — how do you structure your time and energy so that excellence in one area doesn’t come at the cost of everything else?
- If a listener finishes your book this week and returns to their business on Monday — what is the one thing you want them to do differently? Not read more, not journal more — one concrete action that puts Relentless Excellence into motion immediately.
Phillip’s parents instilled a strict work ethic in him as he worked for the family’s businesses: a Harlem stationery store and a newspaper business that delivered to the New York City 5 boroughs and Long Island. From his time in the Navy, to being an addiction counselor, to establishing a non-profit for previously incarcerated men, to founding Signing Services of America, Phillip has strived for excellence in all parts of his life. The lessons he learned in his youth continue to ring true in everything he does.
“These early entrepreneurial experiences informed the trajectory of my life. At every turn, my parents were teaching me valuable skills and sharing wisdom. I didn’t fully understand the lessons at the time, but as I got older, these values kicked in automatically. As people, we are the product of our formative experiences.” —Phillip Hogan
From small business owners to C-suite executives, Phillip’s mission is to pass this standard of excellence on to the next generation of entrepreneurs. Phillip founded Signing Services of America (SSA) in 2016, providing remote signings for clients across the country. In 2022, SSA was the 30th fastest-growing company in the Southeast, according to Inc. He is the host of Closing Market Weekly, sharing his insights on the U.S. mortgage and real estate closing industry. As a prostate cancer survivor, he’s been an active philanthropist on behalf of the Georgia Prostate Cancer Coalition and an ambassador for the Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia. Beyond business and philanthropy, Phillip is certified Master Scuba Diver and has a passion for underwater photography, maintaining that same standard of excellence in his art as he does in his business.
