Taylor Cone

You know that moment when you realize you can do something you didn’t know you could do? Like when you realize, “Hey, I am creative after all!”? Or that moment of invention, when you and your team create something the world has never seen? That breakthrough moment when excitement, pride, and accomplishment wash over you?

That’s the moment that drives me.
