Phil Cole

Phil Cole is a First Class Mine Manager, seasoned investor, business owner, and mentor with a powerful story of resilience and transformation. Raised in the transient farming towns of country Victoria, Phil overcame poverty, instability, and the trauma of severe bullying and social anxiety. Determined to do better, he became the first in his family to attend university, earning a Bachelor and Masters in Mining Engineering.

By 29, Phil had earned his stripes as an Underground Mining Manager, leading high-stakes projects across Australia and abroad. He ventured into property investment at 30, achieving financial independence just three years later. Yet, behind the success, Phil faced deep personal struggles—including a battle with depression.

In seeking healing, Phil rediscovered his faith and a renewed sense of mission. Fueled by purpose, he transitioned from mining leadership into entrepreneurship. Today, he owns two mining services and maintenance companies, generating 8-figure revenues and supporting over 1,100 clients.

With more than 20 years in the industry—including 7 in senior leadership—Phil is not just building businesses; he’s redefining leadership. His journey stands as a testament to resilience, faith, and purposeful impact, making him a sought-after mentor and voice for transformation in mining and beyond.
