You're listening to Cubicle to CEO episode 246. Debt, especially personal or consumer debt feels like a monster most people prefer to shove in a closet. So we're grateful to get a rare and financially vulnerable testimony of what managing and paying off debt as an entrepreneur actually looks like from our guest, Taylor Aller.

Despite making six figures as a multi passionate registered massage therapist, educator and consultant, Taylor didn't feel like her finances were in a comfortable place. After taking a deep dive into her and her husband's financial situation, she faced head on the $65,000 in consumer debt they had accumulated in today's case study Taylor details how they leveraged a concept called multi potentialism to monetize a wide range of skills, and pay off nearly $70,000 of debt and interest combined in just nine months, all without burning out.

Welcome to Cubicle to CEO the podcast where we ask successful founders and CEOs the business questions you can't google. I'm your host, Ellen Yin. Every Monday go behind the business and a case study style interview with a leading entrepreneur who shares one specific growth strategy they've tested in their own business, exactly how they implemented it, and what the results and revenue were. You'll also hear financially transparent insights from my own journey bootstrapping our media company from a $300 freelance project into millions in revenue.

I recently had the chance to host a live podcast recording at the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver. And I was so impressed with the emphasis on experiential learning opportunities. You get to learn business fundamentals inside the classroom and then test your skills and interactive experiences like the climb their annual pitch competition. As a non business major back in my college days, I wish I had access to a resource center open to all students like this one. So I could have nurtured my entrepreneurial mindset and skill set earlier.
