You know when one of your friends invites you to a quirky event on Facebook such as “National Chocolate Day” or “Free Slurpee Day”? You have a good laugh, click attending and give yourself another reason to grab a friend and get a slurpee. The same happened to us ten years ago with “National Milkshake Day”, suggested by my friend Taylor London, founder of Late Shake.
Year after year, we received these invites from Taylor, making his passion for milkshakes not just a one-time novelty, but something that was just getting started. Taylor always had a love for shakes and wanted to share that passion with everyone around him. He’s an example of taking what you love, combining it with a passion for making people happy, and opening up a business that allows him to do both.
Late Shake, located in the heart of Southeast Portland, is a pop-up, late-night milkshake spot delivering high-quality, tasty shakes.
What we love most about Taylor’s story is that it shows us that you can do things differently. You can create your own dream, your own business, your own classification of success. It can be done the way you want it to, and opportunities may come that could lead you to create something that’s more you, and more aligned with what your vision truly wants to be.
Taylor is all about bringing people together, which is probably what has been making Late Shake such a success! Aside from their delicious shakes, Late Shake shows us the magic that can happen if you share your dreams with the people around you and are willing to give it a go, even if you don’t know how it all will all work out.
Meet Taylor London…
