Summary
In this episode, Steve sits down with Cole Taylor, a Christ-following entrepreneur, coach, former pastor, endurance athlete, and business builder who is passionate about helping leaders grow in faith, fitness, finances, and personal vision. Cole shares his journey from being a former football player who "wasn't a runner" to completing a 100-mile ultramarathon, and how that experience reshaped the way he thinks about identity, discipline, discomfort, leadership, and long-term success.
This conversation goes far deeper than performance or business strategy. Cole opens up about trauma, losing both parents, the pressure to earn love, anxiety attacks, success that almost destroyed him, and how God began rewiring his identity from striving for worth to living as a loved child of God. The value of this episode is in its raw honesty: it challenges men, leaders, entrepreneurs, and believers to stop chasing achievement as a substitute for healing and to build a life rooted in identity, endurance, mentorship, and obedience to God.
