didn't really teach me a whole lot. Not that there's nothing there, but there's not a whole lot in my opinion. What really taught me more than anything was sports because it taught me personal responsibility. It taught me how to lose. It taught me how to train. It taught me to show up even though you're facing adversity and challenges. It taught me how to work with other people. It taught me how to communicate, taught me discipline, integrity. It taught me all of the core tenets of what it means to live a good life. That is in large part where my relentlessness stems from. To just to win.

Ryan Alford (Host)
Hey guys, what's up? I'm Ryan Alford, your host. We say if it's radical, we cover it. Today we're talking to the radical Taylor Betts. He's a life and business coach and he's the host of Awake and Winning. I like winning, brother. So let's talk it. What's up, man?
- [01:51]
Taylor Betts
Radical, man. I'll take it, Ryan. Thanks for having me, man. It's cool to be here.
- [01:55]
Ryan Alford (Host)
Fellow podcaster, if we're awake, we need to be winning. Why would you want to settle for average? We get to breathe oxygen. We wake up every day and everybody not be. They might not be perfect, but damn, we get to be alive. Let's make the best of it.
- [02:07]
Taylor Betts
I love that you get the whole fundamental principle of the brand. The problem that you're really referring to is it's a grand problem, but at the end of the day, what we've done is essentially condition people to believe that if you're awake, you are winning. And some people just stop there. Some people say, oh, I know everything about the WF's agenda and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and their agenda. Did you hear about 5G and what's really going on? And it's like, cool, we get it. Congratulations. Pat yourself on the back. I'm awake, you're awake, we're all awake in our community at least. That does not mean you're winning. And what I actually have found is that there's a lot of people who are quote, unquote, awake to the lies that we're being sold. And again, cool. But are you really winning or are you actually just succumbing to the same kind of fear that is essentially what we've been criticizing on the other side for so long? Because that's really what I see going on in the comment sections on Instagram, on all these Awake accounts, including mine. And I really just asked myself like, damn, like, are you actually going out and creating an extraordinary ordinary life? Are you creating abundance and health, wealth, relationships? And I think a lot of people aren't.
- [03:10]
Ryan Alford (Host)
The irony of talking about Awake is woke. The anti woke.
- [03:14]
Taylor Betts
There's indoctrination going on on both sides. There is left, right, fucking Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, whatever you want to call it, Woke, awake. And there's indoctrination on both sides. There's fear mongering on both sides. There's victim mentality, doom and gloom mindset, defeatist mindset on both sides.
- [03:32]
Ryan Alford (Host)
Regardless of where a lot of my foundational, economical and things believe and rights and freedom and all that. Damn, you can get hung up on it on either way. It could be a crutch to truly winning.
- [03:43]
Taylor Betts
I love to actually talk about a good rabbit hole and a good conspiracy or what's going on in government at a governmental level, what's going on in the pharmaceutical world. I love having those kind of conversations. But as soon as you genuinely are attached to the idea that your winning is determined by something out there, an external factor and that you don't hold the keys, that you aren't actually sitting in the driver's seat, that's the problem. Was it Darwin who talked about, it's not the people who are the smartest, strongest, it's the people who are the most adaptive. People who win will be adaptive and they'll see the writing on the wall like, I'm getting passport. Look, I'm from Canada Man, I'm getting my visa to the United States. I have that in works. I'm getting passports to other countries. That's in the works as well, too. I'm creating wealth, I'm building my business. I'm becoming ungovernable is essentially what I'm doing. And that's what winning is. And yeah, you can be awake to the lies and you can adapt if any. That's being awake to the lies really does is it allows you to be able to get forward and actually be proactive and do something about it rather than just sit there and complain about it all the time.

Let's set the table. Kaylor. Who is Kaylor Betts?
- [05:22]
Taylor Betts
You said, man, I love winning and I just don't get how people are settling for average. I am about as allergic to mediocrity as it gets. I could go so many places with this. Like, I could tell my story about I couldn't even get out of bed in the morning to depression, anxiety, adhd. I had physical ailments. I was sick. I was sick, tired, weak, fat and broke at one point. And I had no reason to be. I was in victim mindset. I could talk about that. I didn't graduate high school. I fucked around for a lot of years. And then I woke up, man. And that's why I call myself awake. But then I really got on the path of winning. At the end of the day, Ryan, I don't really know where it comes from. There's some things I could attribute it to. It would be growing up for so long, living my life in pain. I think sports was massive for me because it taught me way more than school that first off, I slept through most of my school or skipped and I didn't even graduate. School didn't really teach me a whole lot. Not that there's nothing there, but there's not a whole lot in my opinion. What really taught me more than anything was sports because it taught me personal responsibility. It taught me how to lose, it taught me how to train, it taught me how to show up even Though you're facing adversity and challenges. It taught me how to work with other people. It taught me how to communicate, taught me discipline, integrity. It taught me all of the core tenants of what it means to live a good life. That is in large part where my relentlessness stems from. To just to win. That's what we're here for. We could be in assimilation right now, or we could be all children of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Who knows what's really going on? Some people feel they do. I don't really know what's going on. I have my inklings, but I think at the end of the day we got one of these human experiences. So why the fuck settle for mediocrity? You know how they say, like painting your canvas? That's what I feel like my life is. I'm writing my book and at the end of my life, I just want people to want to read it. And that's what I'm just so passionate about. So I'm just fucking going out and trying to build and conquer and win, man.

Ryan Alford (Host)
I grew up Southern Baptist, so I know the Bible pretty well. If you actually believe the Bible, we're in God's simulation. If we're in a simulator, because he knows everything, he already knows what's going to happen. You're going to do what I'm going to do. So we're in some kind of simulation one way or another.
- [07:23]
Taylor Betts
But someone had to have created this. I have this appreciation. Admittedly, I didn't grow up religious whatsoever. It's really difficult. I'm going off of years and years and years of conditioning, of like religion was this crazy thing that just is this story in a book that some people believe in. So it's so hard for me to. But I have this appreciation. Look, man, this is my belief. You gotta believe. It's even in the data, man. You look at Christian conservatives, they are on the happiness scale. If you compare them to liberal atheists, it's not even close for quality of life, mental health. They're just happier. And I believe it's because there's something to be said about whether you believe that God is actually real or not. There's something to be said about living as though there is a greater intelligence and believing in a higher power. That is so powerful. There's something to that. And that's where I'm exploring. And I have this great appreciation for religion, faith, all of that.
- [08:15]
Ryan Alford (Host)
I believe in a higher power and that spirituality is becoming more and more important to me. It does Help us keep ground up. What's the day job? What's Kaylor Betts doing? We got the podcast, you're a life and business coach. But let's talk about how you're transitioning all this winning into other benefits for people.
- [08:31]
Taylor Betts
We help people win in life. We help awake people when we have a life academy, a men's and women's life AW Academy. Get it? Awaken Winning Academy. We have a life academy and we help people win. We help people win in three areas and it's very unique. I don't think there's any other life coaching program out there like it because it has essentially what is a one stop shop for awake people to win. Three areas. We help people level up in body, mind, which both of those are pretty self explanatory. We do everything from helping you with your physiological health in terms of regulating your circadian rhythm. We help you with fitness, nutrition and other aspects as well. And then we do somatic work. So we actually help you regulate your nervous system. We help you actually get into what are the deep seated, whether it's wounding or trauma, or self limiting beliefs in the subconscious, we really help you dive into those two aspects. And then thirdly, which is probably the most unique one is we help you be prepared. Prepared living. We're talking like security, electricity, food, water, your environment, wealth, money. We help you get prepared for anything that could happen in the world. We don't believe in doom and gloom mindset, living in fear. It's actually helping you prepare so you can sleep at night without anxiety. It's you prep and then you move on. We have three different phases of our life coaching program and we essentially help you people who just aren't winning again, like just they want to level up. You don't need coaching. I still invest in coaching to this day and I would say that I've gotten to a place that I never thought I would get to. But you deserve guidance, support, community, accountability, coaching, mentorship, education, a blueprint. And that's what we provide on the life side of things. Inevitably people started winning and they started healing their own wounds. They started leveling up and then they're like killer. I hate my job. I'm not fulfilled. I kind of like what you do. You just travel the world and you're just working and like you're not stressed. You're making great money, making a great income, making a great impact from wherever the fuck you want. How are you doing it? So then we inevitably started our business academy which helps people become and do What I do, essentially, which is becoming an online coach. Our thing is making income, making an impact from wherever the you want. We have a lot of different coaches. We have everything from life coaches, spiritual coaches, business coaches, money coaches. We have sex coaches, anxiety coaches, health coaches. We have all different kinds of coaches. And we lay out the blueprint for you to win as a coach online and do what I do.

Ryan Alford (Host)
That covers the gambit I hear. And I know you joked, you said, you know, Gypsy, Nomad, whatever it is, but it sort of does encompass everything that you need, regardless of government or where you are. As long as you've got an Internet connection, you can make it all happen, because you got to have mind, body, and dollars.
- [11:13]
Taylor Betts
I don't want to say with humility, because I actually looked up the definition of that word, and I don't like the definition. But I'll say this with groundedness, put it this way, because I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into this. And for most of my life, I was losing. I have a lot of buddies and a lot of family, are entrepreneurs, and they have everything from restaurants to gyms, security companies, real estate brokerages, hair salon. And they look at what I'm doing and they're just like, how the fuck. Like, I did it wrong. How the fuck are you doing what you're doing? And it's not all sunshine and rainbows. No businesses. And to get here, quite honestly, to a certain extent, I had to go through a year or two of hell. Entrepreneurs do what others won't, so one day they can do what others can't. I definitely had to go through that phase where it was hard. I was doing everything. But, dude, once you get past that, if you do it right, I got to pinch myself every day, man. I've set up my business to where I'm making incredible income when I say I'm making an impact. I get messages every day from our clients talking about how we've changed their life in many different ways. And then I get to be on podcast. This is my job. And then I get to interview really fucking cool people that I look up to. And then I have a team of 15 people who do all the shit that I hate, and they love it for some reason, because they're just different than I am. I really am living the dream. And I travel the world. I'm in some of the nicest, most beautiful places. Even through Covid, it's not luck. I went out and I worked my ass off for this, the online thing. If you do it right, it's pretty sweet.
- [12:37]
Ryan Alford (Host)
Our business is in a way that way and I'm getting even more and more into that realm myself. I do walk around though. It's not in a judging, it's less judging and more empathy. And I'm seeing people do just day to day jobs. I'm no smarter than they are. I don't pretend to. And I'm sure for you being 100% mobile and online and everything else, but I don't know how we even have people doing some of the things we do if they really knew these blueprints.
- [13:02]
Taylor Betts
I did it for a little bit. I don't know if you have that in your story, but I did that for quite a few years. Just like working for someone else and everyone has a different tolerance for it. I just knew there was something more. If you know what you could do, you won't be able to ever bend over and just take it from someone who's always pointing their finger down at you and saying, do this, do that. And don't get me wrong, most millionaires work for someone else. So I'm not suggesting that everyone should be an entrepreneur. I don't believe that. But if you're not at least an intrapreneur in your company, if you're not helping a company grow and you have unbelievable people around you, superiors are incredible and they're helping you win and they have more of a learning and development organization, that's different. But most people are just working at these jobs and I don't even think they know it's possible. They'll look at what I do often and they'll just say like, oh, well, this is, this was your calling, this is what you do. And sure, maybe what you could do online is not going to look obviously exactly like what I do. But nowadays with our iPhone and our computers, the Internet, man, you could start a side hustle and it could be so many different things. You just got to fix a problem for the market. One of my favorite business quotes is you get paid in direct proportion to the difficulties of the problems you solve. If you solve a difficult problem for the market, for a segment of the market and you consistently and relentlessly just go out and get better at solving that problem eventually it's unreasonable to assume that you're not going to be able to make some good money off of it and have a ton of freedom.
- [14:23]
Ryan Alford (Host)
Yes, Alex Horbozi said fix rich people problems.
- [14:27]
Taylor Betts
Yes.
- [14:27]
Ryan Alford (Host)
You'll make a lot more money.
- [14:29]
Taylor Betts
Yes, 100%, man. Yeah, fix rich people problems. I Say that often. Actually a big hormozy for fan.
- [14:35]
Ryan Alford (Host)
The amount of work I do in a day, in the amount of money that this device makes me, we recognize it. But some things become just so normal and expected or taken for granted that we don't quite grasp. Number one, either you are or aren't leveraging that enough, the mobile ability of that device and everything that it can do. But also just taking for granted some of the technologies and things that we have at our disposal now and how money can be made with them.
- [15:01]
Taylor Betts
I would even go as far as saying, and I'll get pushback on this. And I'll say too two things. I'm of the belief, I know crazy idea that men and women are built differently and we have different hormonal structures, we have different psychology, we have different things that are going to contribute to our highest quality of life and potential. That's my belief. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I was about to say that if you live in today's day and age and you're a man and you're not creating some sort of online presence or authority, even if you have a job, even if your goal isn't to be an entrepreneur, creating an online presence and authority and building people who know you, you entrust you online and know who you are and getting attention Gary ve always talks about that will serve you in a multitude of different ways. Now, going back to the man and female thing, why I said if you're a man is because I don't think that's for every woman. I don't think a woman has to solidify an online presence. I'm old school. I'm like, men are protector providers. Men, it's our responsibility. I'll get grant Cardone on you. It's our responsibility to go out and create wealth and to be successful. That's our role in this world. A lot of women may want to do that as well too, and I fully and entirely support that. But I think a lot of women also might say, you know what? My most noble pursuit on this planet is to be the best mom I could be. Which I agree with. And I want to do something I'm really passionate about, whether it's online or something else. If you're a man and you're not going out and you're not putting out content, and I know some people think that's crazy, but no matter what, I think that's a good idea for a man to do.
