Taylor Bradford, Author of Pillars & Purpose

Welcome, friend!

The 'And so...' podcast is a weekly show where I dish about my business & life musings as a successful serial entrepreneur.

And I'm not joking about the serial part...Specialty Event Rentals & prop house; General contractor; landlord; real estate investor; rv/boat storage facility operator; event designer/stylist; prop sourcer; business coach & strategist and soon to be airbnb conNoisseur & possible micro-flower farmer.

without further adieu...I'm taylor bradford!!

I'm THE TORCHBEARER AROUND THESE PARTS & I share my business & life musings with you each week (every wednesday since July 2015). my goal is to keep you inspired, keep you informed, & to keep you moving forward in your own business & life journey.

Because I get it & your business journey
isn't meant to be traveled alone!

Running a business is hard. Wearing multiple hats (or all the damn hats) is exhausting. Finding people that understand where you are now without you diminishing your own accomplishments & success is tough (ummm…why is no one talking about the loneliness at this level???) 

So I decided enough was enough!! I’m going to be the torchbearer that makes this easier for ALL of us.

I never want YOU to feel alone because I GET it. I’m in the business trenches right there with you. 

And here’s another the thing >>> I never want YOU to feel less than for the success you have achieved. I never want YOU to feel like you can’t ask a question for fear that it might make someone else think you are boasting or have an ego or whatever other crazy feelings you have running around in that impressive brain of yours. 

I know first-hand what all of that feels like.  Talk about FRUSTRATION & FEELING LONELY!

So that’s why you have me…and I’m going to keep showing up each week in hopes I can keep you motivated to keep going because there is someone in the trenches right alongside you.

ALWAYS LEARNING. ALWAYS TEACHING.
RINSE & REPEAT.

When I stumbled on the medium of podcasting in 2014, I already had a 40-lesson educational series related to the nitty gritty of blogging & social media published on my blog. I knew instantly that podcasting would allow me to sit behind the microphone and share my passion of learning & teaching small business owners the what, why & how of business. In July 2015, I launched the Boss Girl Creative podcast & community and have published an episode each Wednesday ever since, without skipping a week! In 2023, just ahead of my 400th podcast episode, I made a pivot to better align with my own purpose & changed the name to the Purposely Aligned Entrepreneur. And in 2025 (in celebration of my 500th episode), I pivoted once more, changing the name again, to further afford me the opportunity to connect with you more on a deeper level. To share more of my heart, not just my business musings (which are a plenty!) Boss Girl Creative became a media & publishing company and the podcast was renamed to the And So…podcast. I have my 3 year old self for that naming inspo.

I WROTE A BUSINESS BOOK...

There’s a lot of noise out in the land of business coaching. Everyone claims to be good at telling you WHAT to do. I’ve purchased & taken countless courses, hired many coaches & studied my way through the universities of Google & Pinterest for my quest to write my own rule book. The WHAT is written everywhere – but the WHY & HOW is completely missing.

So, I wrote a book that teaches you the WHY to do it (BUY A COPY). 
And I step up & lean in every single week to teach you the WHAT, WHY & HOW behind it all to keep you in purposeful alignment.

WORK WITH ME

One real-time Voxer day. All your questions. Full access to quiet clarity.

You’ve been pouring into your business, but something’s still stuck. I get it — I’ve spent a decade in the trenches with you. If you want to break free from the “stuck” day, I’ve carved out a day just for you and your business. One 8-hour time block of real-time, in-your-pocket business support via Voxer. You’ll get grounded strategy, fresh perspective, and practical next steps — without the pressure of back-to-back calls. We’ll tackle whatever’s keeping you stuck so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

BINGE LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

Business & Life Musings from a Successful Serial Entrepreneur helping YOU stay on course. Previously known as the Boss Girl Creative podcast and The Purposely Aligned Entrepreneur podcast, but still hosted by the same girl showing up each week to share her heart since July 1, 2015.

Because sometimes you don’t need another course or a big, overwhelming strategy session.

You just need a smart, grounded business friend who’s been there — in your back pocket for a day — helping you sort the threads and find the next one to pull. 

Here’s what you get:
 Clarity without the rush – space to think and respond in your own time.
→ Support when the spiral starts – a voice in your pocket reminding you what matters (and what doesn’t).
→ Ideas that fit your life – no cookie-cutter formulas, just real strategies for where you are right now.
→ A safe place to ask the “dumb” questions – because they’re never actually dumb.

It’s a mix of strategy, mindset, and real talk — so you can move forward without burning out or second-guessing every step.
