Kicking Off the Alex Taylor Deep Dive
So last Tuesday I’m scrolling through LinkedIn when this name Alex Taylor keeps popping up everywhere. Got curious, opened twenty damn tabs trying to figure out who she is, but man it was messy – news sites contradicting each other, outdated stuff mixed with rumors. Just chaos.
Sorting Through the Noise
Grabbed my notebook and started cross-checking facts like a detective. Binged on interviews first – spent three hours watching YouTube videos at 2x speed, scribbling notes until my hand cramped. Noticed how she always says “we” instead of “I” when talking about projects, real team player vibe there.
The big shocker came when I dug into patent databases. Turns out she holds:
- That solar roof patent everyone talks about – filed when she was only 24
- The battery recycling tech that got bought by Ford last year
- Weirdly, two medical device patents – completely unexpected twist!
Putting the Puzzle Together
Started organizing my findings like this:
- Printed everything out and color-coded with highlighters
- Pinned pages all over my wall like some conspiracy theorist
- Kept mixing up timeline dates though – nearly said her first startup failed in 2009 instead of 2011
Got stuck for hours on her education background. Some sites claimed Ivy League, others said community college dropout. Finally found tax records showing scholarship payments to MIT. Case closed.
The Final Stretch
Wrote first draft at 3AM – absolute garbage. Woke up, deleted everything. Second attempt focused on just five key things that actually mattered:
- The patent hustle early days
- How she rebuilt after bankrupting her first company
- That crazy pivot from tech to electric vehicles
- Philanthropy stuff nobody talks about
- Her “quit publicly” manifesto going viral
Pressed publish after quadruple-checking dates. Still worried I missed something obvious. But coffee pot’s empty and I’m seeing double. Good enough.
