Pro Skater: If You Don’t Plan For This, You Lose Everything
About this episode
Mikey Taylor discusses the importance of planning for life after professional sports and shares insights on wealth and business transitions.
Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Mikey Taylor to talk about what happens after the spotlight fades — and why planning for the end while you’re still at the peak changes everything. We get into grit versus talent, turning income into assets, using leverage intelligently, and why real wealth is about optionality, not ego. Mikey shares how he transitioned from professional skateboarding to building and exiting a major brand, and now running a private equity real estate platform — all by thinking long term. If you’re building something today, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond the next win and start designing your second act. *Mikey Taylor*Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/mikeytaylorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeytaylor/ *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network…
