The hardest conversation I ever had was when a coach looked me in the eye and said, “You’re not good enough,” — but for Cole Kosco, former college athlete turned fitness influencer, that moment became his greatest gift. Despite having pro-athlete genetics (his grandfather replaced Mickey Mantle), Cole didn’t make it to the big leagues, yet he told me this was the best thing that ever happened to him. As he puts it, “The second you point your finger outward, you lose all power. Point at yourself, and you control the outcome.” His competitive drive didn’t disappear, it just found a new arena in content creation and entrepreneurship. Sometimes, our greatest setbacks are simply preparation for something better we couldn’t have imagined.
