Welcome to this episode of the Built for More podcast, where we have a very special guest joining us today - Taylor Symmank. Taylor is a retired NFL athlete who has transitioned into the world of business and entrepreneurship. He's been featured in major media outlets and has spent time learning from top performers in both sports and business.

Our paths crossed in a unique way when I witnessed Taylor proposing to his now-wife on the beach during my 35th birthday celebration. This connection led to Taylor being here with us today to share his insights and experiences.

In this episode, we dive into Taylor's journey from professional football to the business world, where he now works with entrepreneurs and athletes to help them grow and scale their companies. We explore the mindset shifts and challenges that come with transitioning from one career to another, and how the skills and lessons learned in one field can be applied to new endeavors.

Taylor also opens up about his long-term goals, which include starting a family, building a successful business, and being able to retire his parents. We discuss the importance of faith, continuous learning, and surrounding oneself with individuals who can help you reach your full potential.

So join us as we learn from Taylor Symmank's experiences and gain valuable insights into navigating life's transitions while staying true to your purpose and values.
