Kayla Tausche

Five minutes with Kayla Tausche

Have you ever had a friendtor? Think of it as someone who is wise beyond their years, but happens to be in the same cohort. They offer sage advice. They offer guidance with a unique understanding of where you are in that moment. They know it all without being a know-it-all. It’s a term I coined when talking to Kayla Tausche, who happens to be mine.

Kayla Tausche also happens to be an on-air correspondent for CNBC. She’s covered everything from the Facebook IPO to, as recently as Friday, how banks benefit from Trump’s deregulation push. She’s got a killer sense of style which has landed her in Elle and is ever-prepared, even carrying a tennis ball in her bag should the opportunity arise to roll out her back muscles. As you’ll realize if you flip the channel to CNBC these days, time is fleeting for the former marathon runner and recent hot yoga convert, but she takes it all in stride. “I began journaling – a few minutes at night, longer during flights – to chronicle what is now a thrillingly happy and blessed time in my life.”
