Cole Remington Mercer
Performance Coach & Founder of Vivaunu
Cole Remington Mercer is the founder of Vivaunu and one of the most direct voices in personal development today. A former Wall Street investment analyst, Cole spent his twenties chasing external success — only to find himself burned out, broke, and broken at 33.
What followed was a radical reconstruction. Drawing on stoic philosophy, performance psychology, and the discipline principles of elite athletes and military operators, Cole rebuilt his life from the ground up. He went on to become a certified performance coach, 2× author, and advisor to entrepreneurs and executives across three continents.
Today, Vivaunu is his platform for sharing what actually works — no fluff, no motivation-poster nonsense. Just evidence-based strategies for building mental strength, mastering your habits, and operating at your highest level.
Philosophy
Most people know what they need to do. The gap is not knowledge — it is execution. Cole believes that real transformation comes from building systems that are stronger than your moods, creating identity before behavior, and treating discipline not as a constraint but as the highest form of self-respect.
