Phillip Lanos is a business podcast host and media operator based in Los Angeles. Over 13 years he has hosted more than a thousand on-camera interviews with founders, executives, authors, and operators, and produced more than a thousand episodes for networks, organizations, and independent shows. He works both sides of the microphone: the conversation itself, and the studio, systems, and workflow that carry it to an audience.
For Al Jazeera English, he built The Take's Los Angeles broadcast studio and its cloud production pipeline. The show's published credits name him on 290 episodes, conversations with figures including Omar Yaghi, Mo Amer, Gabor Maté, and Viet Thanh Nguyen. For the Entrepreneurs' Organization, he helped launch the podcast library from its earliest shows and drove episode submissions, editing, and publishing across EO 360, EO Wonder, and Maestros del Escalamiento. For Entrepreneur, he hosted roughly 500 episodes of Action & Ambition, a founder interview archive now being published in full on this site as original articles.
He is the editorial partner and CTO of Big Questions with Cal Fussman, where he has recorded in person with guests including David Sanborn and Scott Budnick. He hosts the Grit Daily Startup Show and runs its technical operations end to end. With Jason Miller, he co-hosted 207 episodes of the War Room Round Table for Strategic Advisor Board, running the interviews while Miller ran the operation behind the show.
Phillip is the author of two books: Pushing Past The Norm (2020), a self-help memoir written for high school students, and Nomics: The Law of Collection. He is bilingual in English and Spanish, and is the founder of Own The Rhythm LLC, his media company, which operates under a simple ethos: signal over noise.
