Relentless Excellence. The NEW book that will define your year.
Bestselling Author, Speaker & CEO of Signing Services of America
Phillip Hogan is an American entrepreneur, bestselling author, and U.S. Navy veteran. He is the Founder and CEO of Signing Services of America, LLC, a nationwide notary and loan signing service headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Phillip holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from American Public University. Rooted in foundational lessons learned from his family’s businesses in Harlem, New York, Phillip advocates for value-driven, purpose-centered leadership.
He is the author of Relentless Excellence: A Story of Family, Business-Building, and Value-Driven Leadership (Published by BrightRay Publishing, ISBN: 978-1956464733) and host of the industry-leading podcast Closing Market Weekly.
From his early days in business, he learned that leadership is not defined by title but by service. Over decades, he built a reputation for turning vision into results, guiding teams, mentoring entrepreneurs, and leading organizations through change with integrity and purpose.
When faced with a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Phillip’s philosophy of relentless excellence was tested at its core. What emerged from that chapter was not only recovery but renewal, a deeper understanding of resilience, gratitude, and what it means to lead by example.
Outside of boardrooms, Phillip found a second calling beneath the surface as a PADI Master Scuba Diver. The ocean became his teacher, reminding him of patience, awareness, and depth. Each dive reinforced his belief that excellence is about presence, not pressure.
Today, through his book Relentless Excellence, along with his talks, mentoring, and the Closing Market Weekly podcast, Phillip helps others explore their inner depths and discover purpose, clarity, and the courage to rise stronger than before.
“We are all divers. Of markets, of ideas, of meaning. What defines us isn’t how deep we go, but what we bring back.”
This was never just a shelter. It was a home built on the radical idea of dignity. Phillip saw the “diamond hidden under life’s coals” in every man who walked through his doors, and his commitment was absolute. For years, he never took a single salary, pouring his entire being into keeping this promise alive. He empowered his residents, giving them a voice through a council because he fiercely believed, “In prison, they had no say in who they lived with. Out here they should and do have a say”. This is his legacy: A testament to sacrifice, empathy, and the unwavering belief that every soul is worth saving.
In 2003, Phillip’s alma mater launched a citywide promotional campaign to announce its institutional name change. His selection to participate in the campaign was a direct result of his work as the Founding Executive Director of Housing Matters of New York, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization formerly known as Hogan’s Residence. The campaign poster featuring Phillip was displayed throughout the New York City Transit Authority system, appearing on buses, inside subway cars, and on the sides of public telephone kiosks across the city.
