Coach Michael Taylor is an entrepreneur, author (7 books), motivational speaker and radio show host who has dedicated his life to empowering men and women to reach their full potential. He knows first hand how to overcome adversity and build a rewarding and fulfilling life and he is sharing his knowledge and wisdom with others to support them in creating the life of their dreams.
He is no stranger to adversity and challenges. He was born in the inner city projects of Corpus Christi Texas to a single mother with six children. Although he dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, his commitment to living an extraordinary life supported him in defying the odds.
With persistence, patience and perseverance he was able to climb the corporate ladder of success and become a very successful mid-level manager of a multi-million dollar building supply center at the tender young age of 21. After approximately eight years, he was then faced with another set of challenges as he experienced the pain and humiliation of divorce, bankruptcy and foreclosure and found himself contemplating suicide.
Bankrupt and alone, he committed to rebuilding his life which propelled him to begin a 25 year inner journey of personal transformation which resulted in him discovering his true self and his passions for living. As a result, he is now happily married (17 years) and living his dream of living an extraordinary life while being in service to others. Through his books, lectures and radio program he now coaches others on how to become genuinely happy with their lives and live the lives they were born to live.
Recently, Coach Michael was on our show talking about A New Conversation Can Lead To A New Culture Of Manhood.
During the conversation, Coach Michael talked about:
– Some of his background and how his mother inspired him
– When and why did he decide to become a full fledged entrepreneur and some of his entrepreneurial journey
– Overcoming the darkest period of his life which included getting divorced, bankrupt and living out of a car for two years
– Why did he write the book
– Some of the five illusions of manhood
– The five stages of evolution of men
– The need for men to be emotional and connected
– If men are ready to be authentic
– “Masculinity in itself is not toxic.”
– An authentic man goes to his heart
– The illusion that men need to use sexual conquest as a gauge for manhood
– That many men cannot connect to joy
– The most important resource that a man can have is a community of men
– The three most difficult words for men to say “I need help”
– Men need to stop competing and start connecting
– That it is time for men to shift the paradigm by getting the courage to say that I need help and be willing to seek out that help and doing this makes men stronger
