Introducing Marcus Taylor Marcus Taylor is today’s guest, joining us on the Join Up Dots business coaching podcast interview. His entrepreneurial journey has led him through many different dots, and its the joining of his dots that are so remarkable. He is the Founder & CEO of Venture Harbour, a digital innovation studio in Oxfordshire that has built a multi-million dollar portfolio of highly-automated online businesses with zero funding inc. SaaS tools, comparison sites, and more recently, MacOS apps. Marcus also developed the World's first scientifically-valid method of measuring human comfort zones and has been featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30. But his dots to success started at a very early age indeed.   How The Dots Joined For Marcus Marcus started building websites at age 10 and, by age 25, had bootstrapped a multi-million-pound portfolio of online businesses with zero funding. Like most teenagers, Marcus didn’t know what he wanted to be when he grew up. He did know he loved music, so he DJ’d on weekends, converted his mum’s care-home into a recording studio when it was empty, and taught himself to code websites for bands. Unknown to him at the time, these side-hustles gave Marcus a taste of entrepreneurship that would turn out to be invaluable. Instead of going to university, Marcus spent his late teenage years working at an Oxford-based digital marketing agency where he shadowed and was mentored by one of the UK’s most respected search marketers, Kevin Gibbons. And that is the perfect place to start todays show. So does he feel that most people have to go through that stage of "I don't know what I want to do in life" to find the real path waiting for them? And why does he feel that most people out there are frozen in the "creating my own income is such an amazingly risky thing to do"?
