Today's guest is Taylor Cashdan. He is a Principal Designer at Fidelity Investments, the cofounder of Black Soul Club with Tara Victoria(Episode 105), and a public speaker in Raleigh NC. 

During Part 1 of this interview we talk about: 

-his childhood where his mom was a fashion designer and later owned a pottery store and how those brought creativity into their lives. 

-the school newspaper that he originally was told he couldn't be a part of but found a way to join the team. 

-how being told "no" was the catalyst to working harder in the directions he was excited to go in. 

-the moment his life and educational path changed by passing on a scholarship that was his for the taking, and why he turned it down. 

-his love for print and print design and why it is still special to him. 

Part Two launches tomorrow and that is the half where we get into the challenges he has faced in his career so far and the lessons he has learned from them. @taylorcashdan
