When Pushing Harder Stops Working with Keith Cole
What if the life you've worked so hard to build is the very thing that's wearing you down?
Keith Cole spent much of his life believing that abundance meant pushing harder, achieving more, and filling the bank account. A Vietnam combat veteran, CPA, author, and workshop facilitator, he built his career on perseverance and discipline. But after years of carrying grief, trauma, and relentless responsibility, he reached a breaking point that forced him to redefine what abundance truly meant.
In this conversation, Keith shares how losing both of his parents at a young age, serving in Vietnam, raising his younger siblings, and decades of striving ultimately led him to severe burnout. He explains how rebuilding his relationship with God transformed his life and inspired him to create a faith-based recovery framework that has helped others navigate stress, grief, and burnout. This episode is a powerful reminder that abundance isn't something we achieve through endless striving—it's something we intentionally cultivate through faith, daily habits, and a life aligned with what matters most.
