Cole is devoted to leaving an impact in this world and is intensely passionate about inspiring others to do the same.

    Live life biggest enough for the 3 of us...
    ...so powerful - and the expansion that vision has taken since then.
    Making a promise not just to do the best with the time left - but do the best with everyone's time around him and live a life way bigger than just 3 people.
    Cole's definitely lived a life for at least 20000 people.
    "I found out how to buy happiness" that story just changed sooooo many people's perspectives on making money matter.
    I'm so glad you tied this into wealth creation and money. You perfectly help open eyes to why money does matter - why it can and SHOULD be combined with doing great and charitable things in the world - when they're normally viewed as opposing acts.
    Breaking down success - following someone where you want to be. That there's no secrets. You're truly a great wordsmith Cole + simplifying without dumbing down. You do it better than anyone..
    Awesome quandrant - what you do with the money not the amount is the success not that amount. With a correlation to purpose. So cool
    Lastly... Cole, the sweater is soooo dope ;) you're the man! Thank you for that speech. I know you put your heart and soul into it - like everything else you do in life. It shows
    Thanks for being such an amazing mentor. You and your family!
    Ps... Do you like tacos?

    There's so much influence that comes from the stories we share. In a world full of distractions it can be hard to stay focused on what's most important. At times it feels like there's just too much to try and grasp. We need people like you who have had the experiences necessary to be able to use them to create an impact large enough to inspire and direct our focus back toward the love and happiness needed to make a difference. I feel like I've spent my whole life searching, trying out something new, changing my game plan, going to school, changing my majors, flip flopping between what I'm passionate about and how to make money, essentially needing guidance to put my efforts into something that matters and to offer my natural born skills to help others make a difference. I am a chief with no tribe. Thank you for providing a light to shine down on my path. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting to start something, not even knowing what it's going to be. Our efforts are recognized by not only the amount of work we put into them, but by the impact they leave. I can't wait to continue on my journey into helping make this world a better place. Cheers to you my friend! Your story will live on and you will continue to change the world with your message. Count me in 👊🏼

    Cole, I definitely agree money can buy happiness. I come from a family entrenched in the poverty mindset, my mom has worked 2 full time jobs as long as I can remember and my dad is buried in debt. What good is a paycheck if it doesn't allow you to really live your life by design? That's why building a purpose driven business is key. The purpose behind my business is empowering and developing entrepreneurial skills and teaching financial literacy. If we've only got one life to spend might as well spend it on what truly matters.

    Not only did you believe in yourself to thrive but the thrive you have given to other people is incredible. You took an unforgettable tragic accident and turned it into motivation and belief to help yourself and others. Both Steve and Matt would be super proud of you.

    This makes me appreciative that I bought a ticket to Thrive. I just sent this link to my girlfriend who will be joining me at Thrive also. I watched this for a chance at $100 but the impact this video left me is far more valuable than that. Please keep your Benjamin, I've been paid. Now I have some quality questions IMO to ask at Thrive. Love the For Purpose model and the story behind Making Money Matter. Can't wait for September.
