We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylor Haines and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylor, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am most inspired by other entrepreneurs. Growing up I always wanted my own business and truly admired anyone that had one and hoped I would be able to one day. It’s so inspiring to see other entrepreneurs or creators go out and follow their dreams/crush their goals. Many people are afraid to just start their own business/side hustle (I was one of them) but the rewards after are so amazing! It’s truly inspiring when I hear about another entrepreneurs business venture and a couple months later see it come to life. I think we all have a little entrepreneurship inside us!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am super proud of helping small businesses during COVID. I reached out to so many local ones in my area during that time and wrote articles about them on my website as well as posted them in my social feed. It was such a hard time for so many businesses and I wanted to be a light to help them in any way I could.

My page now solely focuses on food and restaurants but I am also starting to incorporate travel. Many people are always asking for recommendations on where to eat when they travel and I want to be the Go-To source for them! Recently I traveled to Greece and I’ll be posting an itinerary soon on some of the best spots to grab food there!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to a local downtown in my area! I’d show them some of my favorite shops in that area and grab brunch.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to shoutout my husband! He is always encouraging me and supporting my crazy ideas. If it wasn’t for him I probably would have never even started my food page since I’m so shy!
