Have you been telling yourself that you’ll focus on your health once you make it? In this episode, Cory sits down with Las Vegas broker, investor, and host of The Mindful Agent, Michael Coxen, to unpack the dangerous lie high performers tell themselves: “I’ll focus on my health once I’m successful.” Michael shares how grinding through long hours, stress, and “I’ll do everything myself” thinking led to a life-threatening battle with ulcerative colitis that left him at 115 pounds and forced him to rethink everything he believed about work, wealth, and winning. Michael walks through how he rebuilt his life and business from that rock-bottom moment, shifting from work–life “balance” to true work–life harmony. He breaks down the simple mindfulness habits he uses daily including conscious breathing, journaling, Tai Chi, that allow him to run a real estate brokerage, build a portfolio, and stay healthy at the same time. He also opens up about how he and his wife quietly built over $1.5M in equity by living in, improving, and renting out three homes over 15 years, why he still loves Las Vegas real estate, and how he thinks about seasons of hustle versus seasons of rest. If you’ve ever thought, “Once I hit X income, then I’ll take care of myself,” this conversation is your wake-up call. Health is wealth and if you don’t protect it on the way up, you may never get to enjoy what you’ve built. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory
