It takes Taylor Shead nine words to thread a connection between the scientific method and the entrepreneurial spirit. “In the sciences, everything is about having a hypothesis,” she says. She expands the connection into a web of parallels: although math is formulaic, science is about testing those hypotheses. As you gather findings and hone the hypothesis, she adds, you develop a theory. The entrepreneur’s process works the same way. Shead has made her home within those parallels. As a child, the daughter of two entrepreneurs told everyone she wanted to be a reconstructive plastic surgeon. But by the time she went to Loyola Marymount University to play basketball, she found herself torn between majoring in business or natural sciences—ultimately landing on the latter. Today, she has built her career in the STEM education field, redefining what it means to get students engaged and on track for their careers with her edtech platform, Stemuli. The journey between Shead’s beginnings and present is also strung together by a collection of hypotheses, studies, experiments, and tests. But it’s a journey that led to a clear result: Shead has mastered the art of not limiting herself. And along the way, she has removed limitations from the people around her.
