"The very thought of distraction is taking you off the traction"

In this episode of Delay the Decay, we interview Walt Taylor, a Christian business leader and founder of GWT2 Energy, about the personal wake-up call that shifted him from years of sedentary, undisciplined living to a more intentional life. Walt explains how watching his father’s physical decline and honoring his father’s deathbed request to lose weight and become active prompted lasting change, including deeper daily prayer and Bible study, improved nutrition, and consistent exercise.

He shares how stacking small, sustainable habits and building accountability helped him lose 40 pounds and regain capacity to enjoy life with his family. Walt also discusses his book, Forging a Legacy, and why faith, fitness, and brotherhood belong together for men who want to serve well and leave a godly legacy.
