Hi, I’m Taylor 🤘🏻
# I strive to live as authentically and courageously as I can, and I love empowering others trying to do the same. I have a knack for seeing people’s gifts as well as the patterns that are blocking them. But I haven’t always been this way.
# In my 20s I flamed out of the corporate world, did the NGO thing in India, and then spent my savings trying to make it as a solopreneur in NYC. I learned a ton about business and had some epic adventures — learning to ride a motorcycle on the streets of Mumbai, meditating for 100+ hours in 10 days, and smoking hash under the Himalayan stars, to name a few.

# At age 30 I became a competent adult overnight 😉 and launched Focusmate to help people follow through on what matters most. Today we’re the world’s #1 virtual coworking community with over 12 million sessions hosted for members in 175+ countries. It’s a work in progress, but I'm proud of our impact so far.

# My life came to a grinding halt in 2020 when several health conditions reached a tipping point. I've spent the last several years investigating the causes and working to heal my body. On the plus side, I am now wise afffff 😅
# Men’s support groups have been my longtime secret weapon and a lifeline in trying times. I am a passionate advocate for men’s work as a medium for growth and connection in a society plagued by loneliness. Men’s groups are where I’ve learned how to be assertive, be held in moments of crisis, repair conflict, and more.

# I am obsessed with pickleball. It has been my best therapy and source of joy. I also love a good health and fitness challenge and have done a bunch, from cycling 3,100 miles across the USA, to 10,000 kettlebell swings & 1,000 pull-ups in a single month, to a 5-day fast 😵💫

# I live in Madrid, Spain. I frequent New York, Boston, and Mexico City for healthcare, family, work, and play.
# Archetypally, I'm a 2/4 Manifesting Generator, Wealth Dynamics Star, and Enneagram Social 6, who simultaneously thinks astrology is real while being leery of people who are into it 🫶🏻
# Most importantly, I’m famous! Just kidding. But it’s cool that these nice media brands have featured me and my work: BBC, NPR, The Guardian, New Yorker Magazine, HBR, Bloomberg, Wired, my mom’s Instagram, and my mom’s other Instagram. I’m all about that #glamlife.
Did you read all that and still want more? 😇
