Taylor Pearson is an investor and writer.

Your life is highly controlled by your values and principles, even if you haven't written them down, or even know what they are. I fell in love with Taylor's blog post on this topic at the start of 2020 and just had to bring him on to discuss it.

Expect to learn why defining your values & principles can change your life, the importance of aligning your intentions with your actions, how values & principles relate and differ, how to identify & create your own list and much more...
