In this episode of The Starting Line Podcast, Cole shares a live training Cole held with his EXM coaching partner, Cullen Talley: Breaking the Growth Wall. Every business hits a wall. What got you here stops working, growth stalls, and the processes and people that used to carry the business start to break. Cole and Cullen walk through the 3D framework, Direction, Design, and Dynamic, the same system EXM uses to coach over $1.5 billion in active client revenue, and how to use it to break through to the next level. If your business has stalled at a level you cannot seem to push past or you you just want to see more growth, this training will show you how to break through to the next level.

In this episode of The Starting Line Podcast, Cole shares a word for every leader who is asking God for more: more opportunity, more responsibility, more influence, more resources. Before you ask for more, look at how you are stewarding what is already in your hands. Cole breaks down why more does not make you more faithful. More money, more people, and more responsibility only expose what is already there. The path to more runs through faithfulness with little, starting with your time, your talent, and everything God has already trusted you with in this season. If you are believing for a bigger season, this episode will challenge you to step up where you are first, because who is faithful with little will be faithful with much.

Welcome back to The Starting Line Podcast with host Cole Taylor! In this episode, Cole sits down with Aaron Chapman, nationally recognized mortgage expert, investor, author, veteran, and entrepreneur. Known by many as "Mr. Finance," Aaron has spent years helping investors build wealth through real estate while also creating practical systems to protect that wealth for future generations. Together, they unpack what it really means to live with purpose, build a lasting legacy, and stop drifting through life. Throughout the conversation, they discuss the power of defining your own version of success, creating a vision that shapes every decision, protecting your family's financial future through proper estate planning, and why waiting until "tomorrow" is one of the biggest mistakes leaders make. Aaron also shares the inspiration behind his new book, Redneck Economics, and explains why the greatest fulfillment comes from becoming the person capable of achieving your vision, not simply reaching the destination. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or someone who wants to leave a legacy that impacts generations, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and powerful perspective. Tune in!
