What does it all mean? This is my opinion on endorsements after five years of observing. Todd Sucherman also makes some great points to consider too.

Taylor Gordon, AKA The Pocket Queen, originally from New Orleans is a drummer and producer who has been through some big ups and some big downs. We are mostly all aware that in order to succeed, you must also fail. Taylor embodies this statement very well.
You will hear about her story from the time that she was accepted with a Presidential scholarship to Berklee, her mishap with a harddrive, her spontaneous encounter with someone important in a fast food restaurant, and how she took it upon herself to begin creating her own music. Which you can listen to right here.
This is a nice reminder that we will all experience ebbs and flows within our lives and they become more drastic in either direction when we take more risk.
You Will Hear About….
- Taylor gets into Berklee.
- Her mom said no to Berklee but also wanted Taylor to challenge this instruction.
- How Taylor’s family success influenced her own.
- A publishing deal that she got.
- The upsets along the way and what she did about it.
- Why Taylor decided to begin making her own music.
Why Should You Listen?
A lot can be learned from a good story. Taylor’s story outlines what can go right but what can also go wrong. I think there are many people who truly fear taking matters into their own hands and being true individuals. Whether the fear is born from our sets of beliefs within ourselves, the unknown territory, or what will happen to us along the way. It can be very intimidating to branch out from what feels safe but many people still likely want to feel the rewards of taking action and pursuing dreams. This episode can provide some reassurance that living our lives the way we want to is more than worth it.
