EP183: Steve Taylor - How Bad Do You Want It?

The Sovereign Man Podcast

“There’s no secret. It takes just exactly what you’ve always heard it takes, hard work and discipline, and you miss out on drinking and partying and all of that, at least to a certain degree, if you want to get what you want.”

Achieving greatness isn’t about wanting it—it’s about proving it through action. Most men settle for average, but the few who embrace discomfort and discipline rise above. This episode dives into what it takes to truly commit, push past limits, and build the mindset that separates contenders from pretenders. If you’re not willing to sacrifice for your goals, you’ll always fall short.

Today’s guest proves that age is no excuse. Starting bodybuilding at 57, he faced failure, doubled down, and won his IFBB Pro Card at 60. His journey is a testament to resilience, proving that mastery comes from consistency, discipline, and an unshakable work ethic.

Steve Taylor is a professional IFBB bodybuilder and coach who defied expectations by achieving elite status later in life. Now 69, he continues to train, compete, and inspire men to take full ownership of their health, strength, and success.
