Episode description

Life has a funny way of working out. When you have a passion and a desire to learn and grow, it's amazing who we get connected to and the opportunities that present itself.

In Taylor's case, he never really dreamed of becoming a famous surf filmmaker. He just loved to surf and hang out with his buddies. He realized at an early age that he probably wasn't going to make the surf tour; but that he passion lied in documenting the experience. Armed with that desire to work on his creative craft, and a determination to create something unique, he traveled around with his surf buddies as they made a name for themselves on the tour, and began filming their sessions.

What may have started as a hobby, quickly turned into a career. His production company, Poor Specimen, played a role in launching many popular bands careers like Blink 182, Pennywise and Jack Johnson, as well as many surfers in their early days.

You may not find him at the beach these days; but Taylor is always focused on exploring new creative outlets, moving around the world every seven years, and getting out of his comfort zone. Ask yourself- what are you doing to feel younger?
