| 0:13.8 | Taylor, welcome to the mom room. |
| 0:16.4 | Hello, thank you for having me. |
| 0:18.5 | First question that I just thought of before we started the call. |
| 0:22.6 | Did you watch Twilight growing up? |
| 0:25.3 | I watched one of them. |
| 0:27.7 | Okay. |
| 0:28.2 | And I know, I know, I need to watch them because I live in Twilight, Bill, I've heard. |
| 0:33.5 | Okay, but also your name, Taylor Wolf. |
| 0:36.2 | Oh. |
| 0:36.9 | Like Taylor Lautner was the wolf in Twilight. And so when I was making the notes for the interview, I was like, oh, my God, Taylor Wolf. Like, has anybody said that to you before? No. That's crazy. So do you know where I live? No. Where do you live? I'm in like the Pacific Northwest. We're all around. They filmed all over here.

| 1:44.1 | be a career? |
| 1:46.3 | Sure, sure, sure. I'll try to give you the shortened version because I've been doing this for |
| 1:50.4 | 100 years. Wow. Yeah, yeah, very old. So I graduated with an English major and creative writing |
| 1:58.4 | degree. One of my favorite professors is like, you just have to keep writing |
| 2:01.8 | all the time if you want to be a writer. And so in 2009, I was like, oh, I'll start a blog. That's what |
| 2:08.8 | that means. Yeah. And so I started a blog, mostly just talking shit about jobs and like life right |
