Welcome to the show, Lewis. How are you? I'm very good.

I apologize for anybody watching me live because I feel quite embarrassed of the camera quality compared to whatever you're doing there, Chris. It's pretty amazing. I can see every single pixel there, but I'm on the road at the moment. So I'm living at hotels. I'm really living a digital nomad lifestyle. I'm from England, but I usually live in Bali, but I'm actually on my way to Barcelona to get married. And I don't have the full setup to the point where my lighting is actually in a shoe. If you're watching on audio, if you're listening on audio, thank God. If you're watching me live, I'm sorry, guys.

It's the best I could do, but it's a pleasure to be here. There you go. And you're off to be wed. Is that right? Yeah, I'm getting married. It's a lovely story. I'll quickly share it we i was actually speaking on stage and it was one of my customers that bought one of my courses

we kind of you know met eyes and you know i was sharing my story and it was kind of like i was sharing my story with her anyway i met up with her after the event and cut a long story short three days later i said you know what don't go back to miami because that's where she lived we was in barcelona i was from london she was from miami i said don't go back to miami stay with me let's travel the world instead and it took a lot of arguments with her south american family on the phone i must admit they really did not want that to happen but she eventually agreed and we've been together ever since and now we're getting married three years to the day in barcelona where we met so wow well i'm glad you gave it a good three years to make sure it's nice and solid there.

Yeah. I have friends sometimes that are like, I met this woman. We're getting married next week in Vegas. And you're just like, whoa, what the hell? I've heard there's a three-year itch where three years it starts to get a bit, oh, no, we got married in the three years, so we'll find out after. Yeah. There you go.

You're going to find out definitely. Well, congratulations. So give us your. com so people can look you up on the interwebs cool so if you want to because because to be honest i've focused a lot on the company over the last few years building that up we we have an organization that trains and qualifies life coaches we'll do that with cutting edge virtual reality and artificial intelligence as well as obviously all our courses and membership sites and things like that. And that's thecoachingmasters.com. So you can check that out. But of course, my website as well, my personal website, my personal brand, which is lewisraymondtaylor.com. So feel free to have a little research as we're talking and get to know

me. I'm sure we're going to be diving in deep. How long we got today, Chris? I want to talk to you, 30 minutes to an hour. we just kind of go until kind of we it's kind of in the can but yeah so we've got the dot com there let's talk about some of the cool things you have on there because you actually have like an app and different things that you offer people yes so talk to us about what that's all about and how you do it yeah so i mean i started off just coaching people it came very organically for my own transformation i mean we'll have to quickly touch on that because you put it in the intro of course i came from a difficult upbringing and i've suffered every single trauma i think there is that could be that exists so reflecting them is that what you're doing you're like i was

collecting them yeah and i was one i didn't have unfortunately getting all the spaces yeah so now i've completed the full set but yeah i was sexually abused i was also abused by my father he was an alcoholic and he put me down like quite it's quite a cliche kind of entrepreneurial backstory unfortunately but it is my my truth and things were tough and i started getting expelled from school when i was in a young offenders institution i ended up in prison it's's actually very violent, very angry. That's why I was violent. I didn't understand why really. Went through a lot of therapy, spent time in prison. I did rehab for six months. And to cut a long story short, I just realized that I could change my life. And I started to completely transform things,

moved away from my friends and family started engaging in narcotics anonymous meetings and narcotics anonymous meetings and volunteering and just piece by piece bit by bit i started to notice some drastic changes at this point i just wanted to help people i felt like i changed myself and i was compelled to share it with others so i because i thought look if anyone's going to change it's not going to be me no No way. You know, because I've been in prison three times and I've been a bad kid. My dad called me bad. Teachers called me bad. The court said I was bad.

The police said I was bad. Psychologists even said I was bad and diagnosed me with three different mental health diagnoses. Whoa. Yeah. So, I mean, I was. You were collecting all the spaces. Yeah, I really, really was. Yeah. I tried to commit suicide once and found my dad dead. So the list goes on. But let's move forward from that. You know, I had a difficult upbringing, but I started helping people for free. I met up in coffee shops and I said, well, I found people online that looked like they were a little bit miserable. And I said, look, do you want to chat about this? You know, in the local area, we'll meet up for a coffee and we can talk about it. And I did that and I realized I blew them away.

And it was only at this moment where I realized that the six months in rehab, where I was sitting in those circles and listening to people's relapses and denials and breakthroughs and stories and limiting beliefs. And I was absorbing it all, you know, and that combined with my own personal journey I realized I had so much to offer I didn't even know what a coach was back then

googled it and that realized oh I could maybe start a business out of this and then combine that with social media and the internet about five six years six seven years ago maybe now before it was really kind of a big thing before the pandemic and everything and i was kind of like one of the first obviously the first but definitely one of the first sort of new age breed of coaches that are doing the coaching online at the time i was doing on facebook video rather before zoom even existed and yeah i started getting great results and then that evolved so i started training other coaches we started hiring team members to the point now where we get we have a full coaching academy on the oculus headset in virtual reality avatars training we have ai assessment avatars that can even test your abilities as a coach we can take

you back and have a conversation with your younger self or your older self or even put you at your own funeral to contemplate what life what what people want to what people might say about you after you die and yeah it's powerful stuff so yeah it's a lot of fun we've also built a co-working our first co-working space in bali and we're building those out across the world the four key components that we focus on is connect which is our social media platform community which i know you're very big on chris grow which is our e-learning products and our virtual reality meet which is our global co-working spaces events and just the ability for people to meet up with one another we want you know that offline piece to be there and exchange which is a marketplace where coaches will be able to

safely exchange their products and services as you know within the industry over the last few years things have got a bit chaotic a bit like like the wild, wild west. And we're trying to do our best to regulate that by verifying coaches and then also holding secure funds in an escrow payment system so that we can only release funds once the service has been delivered to a high standard. So hopefully we can avoid some people losing their money. That's pretty good. I like that. You know, I've recently had two friends that I had on Facebook that finally admitted they were coaches and I don't know, you know, they claim to be really good coaches. It seems like everyone claims to be a good coach

these days. My dogs are doing coaching and I'm just like, what's going on? But turns out they've been living in their car for two years and I felt really betrayed. I never hired him. But I felt really betrayed because I'd bought Hook, Line, and Sinker that they were successful coaches. And they've been living in their car for two years. And I was like, you know, and one of them was teaching male stuff on how to provide for your family and how to be a leading father. And I'm like, you know, maybe you should have gone and gotten a job for your family. I mean, especially in this environment now where you can,

I just saw a teacher quit their teaching job to go to Amazon because it pays more, you know. And I was like, I'm not really sure that I, anyway. So I think it's good that there's some sort of check. So you guys, according to the website here, you guys have 1, 1400 qualified coaches on the coach app and should we mention the coach app.com yeah coach app is kind of the evolution at the moment we've got the coaching masters which is our training academy we've got cafe coach which is

our co-working space in bali and we've got coach flicks which is our on-demand streaming service for coaching uh sort of self-study training. And we're bringing that all together under one roof, coachapp.com. There you go. 3,600 community members, 250 million earned by clients, 71 countries served. So pretty amazing. It's built as the world's number one coaching community on CoachApp. And people can sign up for as little as $9.95 per month. Is that correct? Do I have all that right? Yep, exactly. I mean, the membership where you get the on-demand training is $9.99. You get access to the community, you get access to all the training, all the resources.

And then there's also live and accredited, more immersive experiences that go on top of that, should people wish to continue that journey. Nice, nice. And then it looks like you're doing some crowdfunding too. Yeah, I mean, that's an important thing I want to talk about today. So the exciting thing is, this was born out of pure passion. You know, I just wanted to help people because I realized that I could and met some amazing business partners and luckily had a bit of a knack for technology. And we actually started the business with no funding, no debt, no investment, no even personal investment.

In fact, how we launched the business was did a Facebook Live, sold a course that didn't exist but just a framework and delivered it live for the first time, made $17,000 and just reinvested it and now recently received a valuation of $25 million three and a half years later. Wow. That's quite incredible. incredible yeah that's awesome but we we're still looking to grow and take things to the next level like we really want to disrupt the coaching industry and make it safer and make it more of a mass market appeal because you say you know everyone's coaches and your dogs are coaches

but that's in the entrepreneurial world but if you walk outside to your joe blogs and ask somebody what a coach is they're going to tell you it's a bus you know they still don't even know what it is and a bus is a i don't know if you know what bus is because it might be an english thing but you know like a coach an actual one that you drive okay yeah yeah oh a bus coach yeah yeah or they might tell you that it's something to do with like an athlete you know it's a coach a health coach is probably as far as they go but they don't know that you can become a mindset coach a confidence coach a fulfillment coach and the world can become a better place and the industry is growing fast but it still doesn't have the exposure it needs so we're really on a mission to expand what we're doing so we are crowdfunding yeah so we're giving

people the opportunity to come and join us it's's not live yet, but we've partnered with Crowdcube, which is a crowdfunding platform that do all their due diligence to make sure everything's compliant and legit and took up months of my life verifying every single thing I've ever done. And $300,000 in legal fees to make sure that I'm not a hustling entrepreneur anymore. I'm actually a legitimate business owner, but it now means that you can own a piece of a very fast growing tech company. And there's also a lot of perks that you get with that. So you get free courses and things like that when you become an investor. So yeah, if you're interested in learning how you can become a part of that, we have a four minute video that literally explains the business in its whole fashion in four minutes. And am I allowed to drop the link for that now? Yes, please. Cool.

So that's very simple. I've created a special shorter link for this so it's easy to remember. And that's TCMCrowdfund.com. That's TangoCharlieMikeCrowdfund.com. And there you will see a pre-registration link. All you do is you put your name and email in and we'll send you some emails. We might fire you some ads and we'll educate you a little bit more about what we're doing. And then in a short period of time, a short period of time, depending on when this actually goes live. I know this is live now, but the actual podcast and things within,

I can't say a date because I don't know when this is going to be posted and stuff like that. But within a short time after you register, there'll be a live date, sent your email straight through to Crowdcube where you can pledge your investment. And that's from as little as $10 all the way up to, you know, your hundreds of thousands if you wanted to go all in, of course.

So check it out, guys, because yeah, we're growing fast and we'd love to have a community-led platform where we have people invest us invest in us help us grow and be a part of the vision and the mission which is by the way i want to say but we've got two missions one of them couldn't have one we have to have two first one is to make coaching as fashionable as having a personal trainer so we like we talk about creating a new age breeder coach younger sharper more powerful more impactful we want this to be not just for your you know your 55 to 65 year old women which is completely fine as well we have

lots of those and we love those but we also want younger people as well to be supporting the younger generation in ways that they need it and we want it to be mass market we want it to be a fun cool thing to be i shouldn't have said cool that made me very uncool by saying cool but we want it to be something that people are proud to say i've got a life coach because i'm looking to level up not thinking about you know i'm in a bad place i'm getting a life coach we also i'm talking a lot but i know we're in short time we also want to provide ordinary people with extraordinary tools to create freedom for themselves and others because i I'm an ordinary person, you know.

If anything, I was below ordinary when I started this. And through the power of coaching and through the power of the online business, you know, I've been able to create freedom where I get to travel the world and marry a beautiful Venezuelan Miami chick. And things couldn't really be any better. And I would never be able to comprehend that I could have created the freedom that I have, both location and the things that I do, the way that I think, the money I have and all those things.

And coaching can really provide that for people if done in the right way, because you can set up your business, you get to help people, you get to work on yourself and you get to do it from anywhere in the world. So as long as you're not doing it from your car, like your couple of mates, which I need to have a word with, then it can be a very very profitable and fulfilling opportunity to take advantage of yeah i mean i i you know i i hate to knock them i mean i imagine they're fairly good at what they do but to you know it's just it was one of those things where wait you you presented this image of something that you were not and to

me that's very deceptive. I mean, we, we evicted someone in California one time out of, out of one of the houses we owned and literally evicted. And they had homeless people living with them. They were charging them rent, not charging,

paying us within three months, they'd taken a course and were presenting themselves as a life coach. And if you, if you knew this person, they were probably the last person, especially just of what I presenting themselves as a life coach. And if you knew this person, they were probably the last person, especially just of what I described, should be a life coach. So leading up to that though, playing into that, I mean, it looks like on the app, it can make coaches better, improve them and improve the quality of what they're doing. It looks like there's also a community there where they can maybe network or learn off each other.

Yeah. Well, the problem is coaching is actually an unregulated industry which means you don't have to have any qualifications and anybody can actually just snap their fingers and say i'm a life coach problem is a lot of the training is quite archaic and it's done you know based on training from the 80s and most people can't be bothered to do it because it's not stimulating and engaging and it's not required you know so we're taking a stance where we bring a lot of energy and a lot of technology um to make the training actually enjoyable so people want to take part in it but of course we verify coaches as well so we ask send credentials we ask them to send recorded coaching sessions and it means that you'll no longer be reliant on someone's logo or their cover photos saying they can help you make six figures. You'll actually be able to have them fully verified and we're going to give them a score out of a hundred. So if they provide a

shit coaching session, they're going to get a shit score and it doesn't matter who you are or how good your branding is or how good your website is or how fake your testimonials are, you're going to get a low score. So yeah, hopefully this is going to make a big change in the industry that's needed. But on the flip side, let me just back coaching up. There's a lot of amazing coaches out there that will change your life like that. I've had access to them. We've trained thousands of them. Of course, there's charlatans and con men and people looking to make a quick buck anywhere in any industry. You've got it in every industry you can imagine there's going to be someone that's coming in in a suit in their in their leased car that's living at home with them

you know it happens not just in coaching those people exist and we can't eradicate them completely but it's it's important for us to focus on the good that coaching is doing in the world and it's giving people a lifeline they've never had access to before so i'm a huge advocate for coaching it turned me from a convicted violent criminal into a multimillionaire freedom-based entrepreneur that literally gets to do podcasts out of his shoe. If that's not success, I don't know what is. And he's running out to get married. So there's that.

So it looks like the community is pretty good because you can learn from each other. You can learn to be a better coach. You can meet people, exchange data. And, you know, I know a lot of my coaching friends that are really good at the business. They learn from each other. They usually hire other coaches to become better coaches. And so it sounds like it's a real great place where everybody can get together, learn each other really improve the space of coach coaching yeah because we have connect and meet connect to the online social media platform so

we actually have our own version of the social media platform fully functional because there's definitely a niche for it i mean facebook is for your friends and family that don't really use anymore instagram is for the highlight reel tiktok is the young kids. Fuck knows what they get up to on there. LinkedIn is for professionals. But what platform is there for lifetime learning, positivity, coaching, personal development? Someone that's not going to hate on you. Those people get kicked off.

So we've got a bit of a niche in the social aspect in itself. But then the meat is our global co-working spaces. And our one in Bali is amazing. You can eat breakfast there, lunch and dinner. There's workshops there. There's coach training there. We have coaching questions on every table. Yes, it's an amazing environment for coaches.

So we hope to expand that post crowdfund to be able to have those in every city in the world. The next one is planned to be for London, then Chiang Mai and Thailand. And of course, there will be a Cafe Coach Miami because that's where I'll be resettling post getting married. So I will be an American. There you go. Yeah. Welcome. You're going to become a Yankee as you're switching over from the other side across the pond.

I wonder if I can change my accent over the years. In 20 years from now, you might be interviewing me and I might. I don't know. Just try and keep it around as long as you can. People love people with accents here, especially chicks. But you're getting married. That's over. I'll do a real good Hugh Grant when I speak to everyone.

Yeah, there you go. There you go. For some reason, people with accents here seem smarter. Of course, we're a pretty crazy, dumb country. But have fun moving here i just did a fedex talk a couple of days ago and i deliberately wore a pair of blue block glasses just to make me look a little bit smarter and it worked oh there you go well if you've got the accent i mean english people always sound smarter they sound more you know english people more

proper usually and and you guys usually have a better i think you guys have better schools over there than we do here. So you guys always come across as smarter, so you probably have just that going for you regardless. I have an image of England, and I have an image of America, and I think they're both completely wrong. I see in films, oh my God, if I went to America, it's like an island of opportunity. Every woman is amazing.

And then you think of all the posh English men. And really, the reality for both of us i think is probably quite different but we'll keep that picture there because it's nice there you go just watch the fatty foods here that's the main thing we say a lot of english people when they move here they eat our foods and our foods are so like between the high fructose corn syrup and the and the calorie richness you actually eat the same portions, but you'll get fat here. So this is really interesting. People can download the app on the Apple App Store. They can do it on Google Play Store and Oculus as well, which is really cool.

They can get as little as $9.99 a month. You guys guarantee the service with a refund in 14 days. So you guys, I like that because you guys back up what you're doing. They can have a coaching directory listing. They can have access to the member, access to resources, printable books, a complimentary strategy, coaching session, hundreds of hours of expert training and online business bundle courses. So this sounds like a great place for all the coaches that are out there on stuff so they can get in there asap so they can get out of their car and then i was really shocked you know i don't know i'm sitting here from a sitting here from a hotel

where i probably look like the same yeah like i mean if you're if you're in your car i mean you don't have to tell us you're in your car but don't don't make me think that you're in your car, I mean, you don't have to tell us you're in your car, but don't make me think that you're some six-figure high flute and travel the world dude and you know your thing. It's the image that you present. And I'm not sure. I don't know. There's a balance, you know, because there's fake in it, right? And there's things that are, you know, inauthentic.

And then there is an element of I believe, because rather than fake it till you make it i do believe there's you can be it until you see it like i remember that when i was starting out where i had to put myself in certain positions and maybe dress in a way that i wouldn't dress maybe speak in a way that i probably wouldn't usually speak you know to try and you know become the person that i wanted to be so i think you know, to try and, you know, become the person that I wanted to be. So I think, you know, there's a thin line, you know, stretch yourself and step into that new identity and say, you know, I want to make a change. I'm a different person. But at the same time, yeah, you can't be making lies. And please don't help people make money if you've got no money.

I've made millions of dollars and I'll help you make money too, right from the front seat of my accord. The, you know, it's one of those things where, you know, I mean, we try and run a professional show. We have great people on here, brilliant authors, you know, people that we had a billionaire on last week. You know, I try and run a professional show, but I will tell you I do it, you know, I'm wearing shorts and flip-flops right now, and I've got a green screen to hide the mess behind me, I'll tell you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm wearing shorts and flip-flops. I'm cross-legged. now and and i've got a green screen to hide the mess behind me i'll tell you there you go we call it the uh mark doesn't mean you're not a smart man that's got value to offer the world though does it chris doesn't it doesn't i mean it's all it's in your head and what you can

do i mean every all my multi-millionaire companies that i built in the you know 35 years of owning companies are running them you can, 35 years of owning companies and running them, you can go look at all the companies I've owned on the SOS and all that stuff. You know, you can follow me. I got all my books and everything here. But anyway, what have we covered or touched on that we should cover for what you guys are doing?

I think it's just amazing what you guys are doing, especially in the VR space. I think we've covered a lot about the business. We briefly touched on my background and that sort of transformational piece but i just like to share maybe a little bit of value because i always like to drop some on people and the biggest the biggest realization i've ever had and you would have heard this before you've been doing this a long time this isn't anything new but it's something that if anyone new listening is listening to then you need to hear this you know there's there's a lot of setbacks that we have in life and it's so difficult to not focus on them and use you know play the blame game you know blame

everything and everyone around you for why your life is so hard and refuse to take responsibility for yourself and i know that i did that you know it's interesting in your trailer you mentioned we've got people so smart they'll make your brain bleed oh my god my battery is about to one second let me plug the charger really are doing this on the fly this is digital nomad it's the finest so it's going to a wedding folks yeah i know guys come on how good it's traveling to his wedding do me a favor and just forgive me for this one i'm usually pretty professional i mean if you want to go and check me out by the way i'll drop one more last plug in before i get into this on instagram at lew at Lewis Raymond Taylor, I can actually be quite presentable and I can actually have a shave and I can actually be in some quite nice environments. But at the moment, not quite.

Anyway. You'll probably see your wedding photos. Yeah. Are you going to be a suit for that? A white tux. There you go. That'll look good. I'm going full on into that.

So it was interesting when I heard your intro, you mentioned something like we have people on here that are so smart, they make your brain bleed. Now that actually is funny in your context, but unfortunately I want to get real when I thought that I'd really ruined my life and somebody else's life. And it was the moment of change for me where I was in a taxi queue. I was very drunk and I had an argument with somebody and i hit them and they hit their head on the ground and it resulted in a brain bleed and they was actually in a coma for three

months three three days not three they're completely fine now but i was sentenced to prison for grievous bodily harm for 18 months and it was that moment where you know i realized that you know that that i'd almost ruined everything for not only my life but his life and uh i started making huge changes but at this point i had so much against me it was almost impossible you know to most people's mind to comprehend that i could turn this around but i i was able to actually realize that all of these tough times i'd been through and okay that one was it you know to somebody else but I had a lot of things that happened to me in a lot of verbal and physical and sexual abuse over the years and I realized that these were actually gifts and I know that sounds quite extreme but I'm actually very grateful for

those things because they were the world's best life coaching training you know you know they were teaching me yeah so much about myself and i was then able to share that with other people and as a result it's given me this compelling drive to want to share with other people because i know how powerful change can be so you know when sometimes you feel like life's happening to you and things are happening to you we've got to flip it for it's happening for you you know and this is all for a reason there'll be so many people watching this thinking yeah these guys can be successful but not for someone like me not for all the things i've been you you know and this is all for a reason there'll be so many people watching this thinking yeah these guys can be successful but not for someone like me not for all the things i've been through

and all my backstory and all my criminal record or whatever it might be but you can really do a 360 i actually just recently delivered a tedx talk and it i called it turning a black hole white and it's about how we can shift perspective. And yeah, because they threw that one on me last minute. It was three days before the TEDx. And they said, you've got to talk about the black hole. I thought, well, black hole, I have no idea about a black hole. So right, I'm going to have to change that into an analogy instead.

But it was about shifting perspective, you know, and seeing a black hole as just a little black dot, you know, something that is only significant if you stare and focus on it and being able to see the massive white space opportunity that is around the black hole and this is what we need to do we need to realize that yeah things have happened to you but you can also see it as they've happened for you and you can use those gifts and life experiences to share with other people make the world a better place. And in turn, you know, completely change everything on the outside around you as well, which is what's happened for me. So yeah, don't, as cliche as it sounds, guys, don't give up. You know, I was the person that was so close to giving up, you know, the black hole is often referred to as the point of no return. And I was really at my point of no return, but I completely 360'd it. 360'd it, 180. 360 would be taking me back to where I was.

But I 180'd it and I completely turned in the other direction. And thank something. Thank God, thank a higher power. Thank me. I was able to be able to completely change everything in my life. It's possible for anybody because I am just your average person. There you go. There you go. That's a beautiful, inspirational thing. Anything more we want to touch on before we go? No, but just guys like this is a different end of the world for me, guys. So I haven't connected with loads of you people. You know, there's very unlikely you would have heard of me. So please connect. You know, I love to speak to new people and connect and answer questions. I'm very interactive on social media. So feel free to screenshot this if you're watching live.

We just don't have the tea, the Earl tea. The Earl, oh. We have them here. My girlfriend, whenever I ask her for a tea, it's because I want a normal tea with milk in it. Whenever I ask for a tea, she says, what kind? I said, well, tea. She's like, no, what type? Peppermint,

you know, ginger and lemon. Anyway, I have to teach her about tea. Earl Grey tea? Earl Grey tea is one. English Breakfast is my favourite. Okay. I think we can find them here, but I'm not sure if they're like the official. No, I mean, sometimes my girlfriend

brings me tea and it's got no milk in it. And I say, what the hell is this? This is leaves and water. This is not a cup of tea. Right. So my website is Lewis Raymond Taylor. That's L-E-W-I-S-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D. You can also find me on Google under that.
