Summary

taste feels like one of those things people claim to have, but few think about deeply. in this episode, we break down what taste actually is - where it comes from, how it evolves, and whether it’s something you’re born with or build through curiosity, exposure, or maybe just copying people you think are cool. we get into the difference between having a real point of view and just collecting pinterest aesthetics, why some people seem effortlessly cool, and how you can always spot when someone’s taste doesn't feel like their own. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://form.typeform.com/to/eBSho4lE overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

0:17.4	Be Developed? Are you born with it? Or do you find it? Do you create it? What do you think?

0:31.1	I think I have good taste. I also think that when I say that, then it becomes a test.

0:37.9	what do you know about X, Y, Z? Like, let's see it. And then I'm like, wait, I think I know how to
0:42.7	dress well. And I think I dress like myself, most importantly. I feel like I, when I think about my
0:48.3	outfits, I think that they are slightly fun, slightly edgy, and hot. It's a combination of fun, edgy, hot, but I have realized,
0:58.8	though, that winter is upon us, fall and winter is upon us. We're in New York now. And I feel so
