My guest is quite fascinating and inspiring. If you combine a biology and paleontology professor with the innate love of photographing the wild in its Yellowstone habitat, you have Dr. Larry Taylor. He knew this was his path from the innocent age of five. That’s incredible. He shares his intriguing story of how he followed his joy and gut instincts that led him to live a dream life at his current young age of 38.

He proudly has an undergraduate degree in physiology, a master’s degree in genetics, and a doctorate degree in paleontology. After securing a job as a biology professor in Montana, he soon started pursuing his dream of wildlife photography in earnest. He explains how he monetized his love of photographing wildlife by selling his art and offering Yellowstone photo tours teaching clients how to capture the mystery of the wild through their camera lens. Larry’s story is deeply moving, hopefully, igniting the dreamer in you to listen to your own intuition and follow your joy rather than be distracted by the outside world’s opinions and expectations. He says, “The past three years or so I have found a happiness, fulfillment, and joy that I never would have if I hadn’t followed my intuition and chased what was meaningful to me, rather than what made the most logical sense.”
