141 Phil Potts The Renegade Gentleman
Phil Potts
Phil Potts is a successful optometrist turned men’s marriage coach and teacher. His passion was to make his marriage the best it could be and along the way, it became his business.
“I don’t need easy. I just need worth it.” – Cliff Ravenscraft, Phil’s coach
From Optometrist to Marriage Coach
Phil worked as an optometrist for more than two decades. It was ten years ago when he was asked to score his relationship with his wife. He realized it wasn’t going very well.
“I am so thrilled to be alongside others who want to move their marriage from wherever it is to where it could potentially be.” – Phil Potts
One time he had the privilege to work with Dan Miller. Dan helped him discover his passion in marriage. Phil himself wanted to work on his relationship with his wife.
Work in Relationship
Phil shares that excitement can wear off easily. It happens in any kind of relationship. Working on relationships just isn’t something that people typically put on top of their lists.
“Working on a relationship is much like training for a game. You know it’s worth it when you see the final score in your favor.” – Phil Potts
According to him, working on a marriage is not that fun. But, it’s worth it at the end. You are able to give to your partner and receive far more.
Knowing Your Marriage Score
Phil travels around to speak and coach on marriage. He also offers his help online. He shares that scoring a relationship provides a better picture of what’s happening.
“We look at a relationship as an untapped potential. If you are willing to put in a little work, you can move it to greater heights. That’s only room for greater joy and happiness.” – Phil Potts
He and wife don’t look at scoring as a pass or fail scheme. It is neither some form of criticism. It is a potential that’s just waiting.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.
