Get ready for a powerful episode of The Wealthy Way podcast! Today, I’m joined by Cole Taylor, a former pastor who didn’t just leave the pulpit—he jumped into the fitness world and built a 7-figure empire. Cole’s story is about stepping out of one calling and into another while staying rooted in faith, purpose, and a mission to help others.
We talk about the real struggles behind his transformation—what it’s like to leave a life of ministry, battle intense anxiety, and redefine yourself in a completely new space. Cole gets candid about the journey that led him to embrace fitness and business, the highs and lows of managing mental health, and how his relationship with God has guided him every step of the way.
He’s not just building a business; Cole is setting new standards for success by living out his faith, unapologetically. From the bold stories of David and Goliath to navigating today’s challenges of staying healthy in both body and spirit, Cole’s insights will have you questioning what it means to succeed—and what it means to live a life that glorifies God.
Curious if you can really do it all—business, family, faith—without losing yourself? Cole’s journey will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about balance. If you want to bring purpose into every part of your life, don’t miss this conversation.
