The Morning Formation Podcast

The Morning Formation Podcast

In life, we all face battles—some are visible, and others are fought within. The Morning Formation Podcast dives into the journeys of those who have not only survived adversity but transformed it into strength, success, and purpose. Hosted by KP Phillips, a combat military veteran, Bronze Star recipient, law enforcement veteran, and leader with years of experience in tactical training, this podcast explores stories of resilience, survivability, and transformation.

From the frontlines of Mosul during Operation Iraqi Freedom to the heart of Southern California, KP knows what it means to adapt and thrive beyond struggle. With guests ranging from veterans to athletes, entrepreneurs to community leaders, each episode uncovers how hardship forged their paths and led them to rise above and inspire others.

Whether it’s about bouncing back from personal loss, rebuilding careers after setbacks, or finding new missions in life, The Morning Formation Podcast takes you beyond the struggle and into the heart of real-life triumphs. Tune in, and discover how you, too, can turn obstacles into opportunities, survive the toughest of battles, and emerge a hero of your own story.

Warriors, Fall-In! it’s time for formation.
