🫶 thank you for sharing your journey- and congrats on making the hard decision! I took way longer to leave consulting even though I wanted to - because I was scared - so I love you're talking so openly about this and it might inspire others too~

Taylor, just wanted to thank you for this episode and say you are such a mature person. Wow! I’m 34 and I think you are much more thoughtful, well-educated (I don’t mean only your academic education) and determined than anyone my age! ❤ Do you ever think of doing something in the aviation world now that you have your licence? I think you’d be the best at whatever you wanna do!

@@trykaratGET A MIC STAND or something dude. You can't have guests holding their mics 40 minutes. It's crazy.
First off, thank you for doing your research before inviting someone on a podcast. It really shows respect for everybody’s time. Also, who knew that Taylor was a pilot…

Hi Taylor I have a question, did you just have a flying experience together with your father in his private plane (in an old video of yours you mentioned that he has one) or are you able to drive an aircraft to take off and land by yourself without the help of a co-pilot, I would really appreciate your answer.@@TaylorBell

Thanks so much for this amazing episode! I’ll follow / listen to your podcast! Thanks for sharing this episode with us and wish you the best of luck.
It’s awesome to hear their perspectives on friendships and relationships because it’s really relatable
One of my fav. episodes so far! I learned so much about Taylor and I admire her even more now!
Wow such great questions, very thoughtful. Really enjoyed watching this podcast and seeing Taylor open up about her life!
She is a cool customer! She has all the makings of someone who could probably be successful at anything she wants to do she is a star in the making if she wants to be
This is alo my dream one day to go full time on YT. I started just 6 months ago but can't wait to be like Taylor one day. Love her vids soo much!!!
You were very wise to continue with the YT channel and the ING profile even after no longer being a clothing retailer, your plan B has now become A :) Cool pod with direct questions that Taylor's audience will be interested in.
I do consulting engineering and it's a similar situation, people don't understand the work and everything that you have coming at you at once. It's a rollercoaster of a career, some seasons are more relaxed and then others it's a break neck pace. Since I'm in Canada and most construction happens in the warm months, this time of year is horrible for design time.
Damn I love this host who is good at asking all the key questions that I always wanted to know … relationships, modeling …😅
First of all, loved the convo and wanted to share an alternative opinion; corporate America is painted into such a horrific context by Gen Z it feels like; having a successful career of 18 yrs in corporate America at both multi-billion dollar global firms and smaller boutiques I think there is a lot to be said about the quality of life, happiness, and opportunity corporate America can provide - I grinded for 10 yrs before I made real money but for me it was different because I was supporting a family which you don’t have the flexibility a lot of KZreadrs have - just mentioning this that corporate America has lots of great people, leaders, and can provide a high quality of life for some; I say that with all the respect to people who can be full time content creators but to me it’s much like Hollywood, the very few make it to the top!
Taylor Bell….amazing & a fav human being…continued success turtle 🐢!!!

Wishing you the best !! But I know you will do great !!

She's the perfect example that winners win.
Sheesh, so accomplished and disciplined. You guys scare me.
Are you guys Gen Z? You seem so articulate and intelligent... makes me hopeful for the future.

Mental Health is the same way. High paid ppl who do actual work bully tje ACTUAL WORKERS who actually do REAL, ACTUAL WORK. And the pay is crap (unless you’re an executive and you get raises you don’t earn or need)

Yeah but she said she's newly single now as of last year. Probably due to youtube career, very common.
ask her like why did she block me on her channel thou i cant subscribe now or comment
it's so funny you barely spent a few years as a junior and complain as if u worked 20 years… this generation lacks endurance and humility
nice podcast!
