Mikey Taylor is a former pro skateboarder turned private equity real estate investor, mayor pro tem of Thousand Oaks, and father of three. But behind the public wins is a man who's walked through identity loss, marital struggles, and a full reinvention of what it means to lead his family—with purpose, presence, and humility.
In this episode, we dive into:
Going from pro skater to entrepreneur—and the identity crisis that followed
How Mikey's obsession with performance nearly cost him his marriage
What saved his relationship with his wife, Jen (and how they rebuilt together)
The hard-earned wisdom that made him a better husband and dad
What kids actually learn from you—and why presence matters more than provision
His thoughts on ambition, social media, and chasing goals without losing your family in the process
The biggest mirrors in fatherhood, and what he's still working on
This one is raw, grounded, and full of truth bombs.. especially for high-achieving men who are trying to balance ambition with intimacy, leadership with love, and legacy with presence.
