" The CNBC thing was surreal. I was kind of like, ‘‘ Why did they need to know about what we're doing?' However when people see our numbers on paper, they're always like, oh, you're actually running a company. Therefore it was just truly cool to get more direct exposure and get our company out there. We went to CNBC, we did Fox News, we did Good Morning America. It was really excellent direct exposure for business to be able to assist more people and reach the people," Taylor detailed.

There's an old saying that goes, ‘‘ it's just company, never individual ', but for Taylor, this company

is personal." I've grew up poor, and we don't truly grow up to flourish, we grew up on survival. So a lot of us do not have basic monetary literacy skills. When I turned 30 had the college degree, having a hard time, broke, bad credit and no savings, and I was like, ‘‘ I'm not going into 30 like this'. I was trying to find different methods to attempt to find out my own individual financial resources and found money stuffing, and it's sort of been up from there," Taylor said.
