Turning trash into confetti, with All She Wrote Notes’ Maghon Taylor

If you look at Maghon Taylor today, you’ll see the confetti – she has built All She Wrote Notes from zero to a successful business with an amazingly loyal following, she is about to open a retail store, and she even has two books out – Betty Confetti and Happy Hand Lettering. She seems like the happiest person in the world, and she just might be. But according to Maghon, “I can be so happy now because I know what it’s like to be so sad.”

If you’re drinking along with us today, that means you have a Funfetti Martini!

Transcript

Maghon Taylor: I went through a divorce when I was 21 years old. I had tons of debt that I inherited from all that mess. And I had to pay a lawyer that I couldn’t afford to, to be able to get to, to save my life from a domestic violence situation. And when you survive something like that and you work so hard to chip away to get out of, you know, name, your name, your adventure, like whatever it is that that you’re proud that you’re not in anymore that you’ve overcome. I think that stays with you and that impacts like, I can be so happy now because I know what it’s like to be so sad.
