Since our last chat, Mia Taylor has become a prominent figure as an author of her inspirational book, “Standing Tall,” the star of a memorable car commercial during the Super Bowl, and a sought-after motivational speaker. We caught up with her to share her unique perspectives in our Mid Questionnaire.
1. What is a skill you’d like to acquire?
Two things: I want to learn how to sing and to surf.
2. What travel destination is on your bucket list?
I dream of exploring Europe. My partner and I have been planning to rent motorcycles to tour Spain, spending a month immersed in the culture.
3. Who deserves a thank-you note from you?
I’ve already expressed my gratitude to my dad for donating a kidney and for my experience on Dancing With the Stars. But really, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to my fans and supporters. Their encouragement means the world to me, and I wish I could respond to every message I receive.
4. Imagine you’re 12 years old. How would you spend a Friday night?
I’d likely be doing handstands and probably watching a spooky movie. I always loved a good scare!
5. Who was the recipient of your first mixtape, and what songs did it include?
Honestly, I think my first mixtape was just for my own enjoyment. It featured some Duran Duran, Guns N’ Roses, and U2 tracks.
6. What childhood tale are you tired of hearing at family gatherings?
I often hear the assumption that I’ve always been an athlete. In reality, I was more of an artist, spending time painting and doing photography. I enjoyed snowboarding but didn’t identify as an athlete until I committed fully to the sport. It’s frustrating that people think you must be born an athlete; anyone can succeed with dedication.
7. What advice would you give to your 25-year-old self?
I would tell myself to embrace boldness and not set limits. Live your dreams fearlessly; anything is achievable if you set your mind to it.
8. What culinary creation are you best known for?
I’d say my coconut chocolate chip macaroons and strawberry cupcakes with fresh strawberries are my specialties.
9. What’s your guiding principle or theme song?
My motto is “live inspired.” Inspiration is contagious, and I strive to lead a life filled with passion—be it through art, music, or nature. Witnessing others live out their dreams motivates me to do the same.
10. Which movie or show always lifts your spirits?
I find comfort in Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, where I draw inspiration from her guests and their stories.
