On today's episode I sit down and talk with fellow coach and friend Monte Taylor. Monte just recently finished on CBS' Big Brother Season 24 taking home 2nd place! Today you get to hear a more personal side of Monte as he shares how his fitness journey helped prepare him for the show and how he's helping his clients in the same way!
Today I sit down with my friend Monte Taylor!
Monte and I met about a year ago in Austin TX at a fitness coaching mastermind. Funny enough we actually ended up rooming together last minute as we headed to the mastermind and ended up hitting it off over the weekend and kept in contact since!
A couple months after the mastermind Monte starred on CBS' Big Brother Season 24 and took home 2nd place!
This was a huge achievement considering a couple years ago Monty was working at a corporate job as a mechanical engineer not really sure where he was going to take his career next.
As he was trying to figure out if he wanted to stay in the corporate space, the world changed....COIVD hit!
Because of this Monte was forced to work from home in a sales capacity and was feeling unfulfilled. This is when his fitness journey began.
Monte would go to put on about 20lbs of weight and as a result he was approached by others in the gym and took on a side job as a personal trainer for a little bit before transitioning fully into the fitness industry.
Monte credits a lot of his growth in and outside of the gym with how much work he's put in Mindset Wise!
Monte uses what he's learned through books, coaches and mentors to help his own clients believe they can achieve their fitness goals as well.
He speaks about the importance of gratitude, habits, affirmations, and breath work to help keep him grounded when emotions pop up and get a little bit too overwhelming.
This was especially important when he was on Big Brother and the house started to get empty towards the end!
Monte has a podcast himself on the way to be on the lookout for!
