Taylor Hill started his own accounting practice when he was two years out of college. In the few years since, he’s built a full-time business, and we discuss how he got to this point, as well as an interesting potential avenue that lies ahead for him doing tax consulting in the marijuana industry, which is where our conversation starts off. Later on, we get into what holds people back from starting their own businesses, how to attract the kinds of clients you want to work with, and how entrepreneurship grants people far-greater control over their lives than they would have otherwise. Taylor’s got a really down to earth manner, and a good sense of humor, so I hope this conversation is as fun to listen to as it was to record.
