He calls himself an "irrepressible optimist". Coach Michael Taylor is an entrepreneur, author, coach, motivational speaker and radio show host who has dedicated his life to empowering men to reach their full potential. He knows first hand how to overcome adversity and build a rewarding and fulfilling life.

No stranger to diversity, Coach Michael was born in the inner city projects of Corpus Christi, Texas to a single mother with six children. Although he dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, his commitment to living an extraordinary life supported him in defying the odds.

Persistence, patience, and perseverance are what has driven his success and undergirds his drive to share his life lessons to heal and inspire others. At the behest of a terribly painful divorce, Michael faced the humiliation of bankruptcy and foreclosure. Alone and homeless, he contemplated suicide, but ultimately chose life.

Today he will talk to us about his latest mission and book, which are intended to Shatter The Stereotypes that surround black men in America. Michael Taylor’s book, Shattering Black Male Stereotypes: Eradicating the Ten Most Destructive Media-Generated Illusions About Black Men is a non-fiction work that opens up dialogue about ten of the most common myths of black men that the media portrays.

Join me in welcoming Coach Michael to the Everything Matters Podcast for an insightful, thought-provoking and invigorating conversation!

My guest today on the Everything Matters Podcast is Author and storyteller, Jeff Buehner. Jeff joins us to share the fascinating story of Sultan Mansa Musa of Mali. Sultan Musa was one of the richest men to ever walk the earth, and he was also very generous in sharing his wealth secrets with anyone who showed interest. 

A very kind lady at whose home Jeff was pouring concrete as a contractor, after hearing him complain about the life he had, she handed him a manuscript and gave him 24 hours to read and return it. What he found inside were the Sultan's 7 Secrets, which was an incredible story about the life of a man that he'd never heard before that would change his life forever. 

After this experience, Jeff always knew that had an obligation to share the gift of the Sultan’s Seven Secrets with as many people as possible before I retire, and he has now made it my personal mission to share these secret's as far as he possibly can.
He couldn’t just say “Thanks” for this priceless gift that had been given him and then wander off into the sunset. 
Nor was it enough to have shared this information with the hundreds of people who had approached him for advice over the years. 
After experiencing the massive shift his life underwent, having been frustrated, uncertain and even scared before discovering the Sultan’s Seven Secrets, he was transformed into a bold, confident, ultra-successful person. He knew that it was critical that he get  spread this information far and wide to everyone who could take advantage of it. 
Jeff knew he couldn’t quit until he’d presented this information to literally everyone who would avail themselves of it and his passion is what drove him to write a book about it - Sultan's 7 Secrets.

Enjoy this amazing story of transformation, and perhaps you will find a secret of the Sultan that could change your life for the better, forever!
