Ever wondered how to revitalize struggling communities while promoting sustainable practices? I had the pleasure of speaking with Kirk Taylor, co-founder of Land Betterment Corporation, about their innovative approach to community development and sustainable agriculture. Kirk's background in accounting and finance, combined with his entrepreneurial spirit, led him to tackle the challenges faced by transitioning communities in areas like Kentucky, West Virginia, and southern Indiana.We discussed Land Betterment's unique projects, including the transformation of abandoned industrial sites into housing solutions and the development of container-based farms in partnership with Anu. Kirk explained how their 20-foot shipping container farms, equipped with advanced automation technology, are revolutionizing local food production. These compact, efficient units are being deployed in various settings, from restaurants and grocery stores to universities, addressing food security issues and promoting education in sustainable agriculture.Throughout our conversation, Kirk emphasized the importance of stakeholder engagement and community-driven solutions. He shared examples of how Land Betterment works closely with local communities to identify their needs and develop tailored solutions, whether it's creating affordable housing or repurposing land for agricultural use. We also touched on the company's involvement in sustainable fertilizer recycling and their commitment to circular economy principles.If you're interested in innovative approaches to community development, sustainable agriculture, or the intersection of business and social impact, you won't want to miss this episode.

We wanted to create a business that made sense financially. But we also wanted our investors and our partners to understand that we were making decisions not just for their return, but to maximize the return of all our stakeholders.""The challenge with any farming is external environment and human error. We solve the external environment by doing it inside a shipping container. Our competition doesn't solve for the human error component, but the Anu team does.""I think that everybody has the ability to make something out of themselves and be proud of what they do. Not everybody realizes that. By providing direct roadmaps, direct opportunity for these community members, we can give them the steps that they can walk up on their own."Resources MentionedWebsite - https://www.landbetterment.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkptaylor/Connect With...

American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) chief financial officer Kirk Taylor takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's second-quarter financial performance, which showed record revenues of $16.2 million. Taylor telling Proactive that the results were supported by the steady expansion of the company's carbon and rare earths businesses. "Tremendous results are always predicated on a tremendous team and we're very thankful for all of our members working diligently over the past year to set up our assets to finally monetize them when the market conditions are right and that's what we're seeing today," Taylor said.
This week, we speak with Kirk Taylor, President and CFO of American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. It announced a $97 million combination agreement with Royalty Management Corporation in June. Royalty Management has pulled together a range of unique financing deals that give it royalties on business activities ranging from water treatment utilities to coal exploration and land renewal. Kirk discusses how the available PIPE terms for SPACs have changed over the past year, and how redemptions turned from an impediment to an unexpected advantage as his SPAC sought out a right-sized target.
American Resources Corporation chief financial officer Kirk Taylor joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of the company's second-quarter performance, which saw a record rise in revenue. The company expects its preliminary 2Q 2022 revenue to be $16.2 million as compared with $9.1 million in 1Q2022 and $393,210 in 2Q 2021, representing 78% quarter-over-quarter growth and over 4000% year-over-year growth, respectively. Taylor attributed the gains to the significant effort put forward by its team to expand in a challenging supply chain environment. Additionally, he said the company's extensive asset base, reserves and permits put it in a unique position to capitalize on strong markets and provide supply growth to its customer base.

You may be quite aware that launching a successful career as a movie actor is a difficult challenge. But rare is the soul who manages to do so twice. Such is the case with Kirk Taylor, whose career as a supporting actor working for the likes of Stanley Kubrick and Spike Lee in the 1980s eventually lead to a successful second career as an acting coach, musician and composer. Now, with his upcoming appearance as the apostle Simon Peter in the feature film musical “Revival!,” Taylor has found his own “second act” as a film performer, and couldn’t be more thrilled to see what the next chapter brings. Meet our Feature Guest “Every time I have thought I would give up acting, and move on to something else I love, some opportunity would come up and lure me back in,” says Taylor, reflecting on his now three-plus decades as a professional. “There was a time a few years back when it felt like the right time to move on,” he recalls. “I talked and prayed with my wife about it, and decided to leave acting, and literally two minutes after our conversation, the phone rang, and my agent told me I had landed a role.” That role turned out to be for “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,” one of the last films to star the late Robin Williams, and reunited Taylor with director Phil Alden Robinson, who had previously cast him in “The Sum of All Fears” (with Ben Affleck) and “Freedom Song” (with Danny Glover). In a similar way, the part of Simon Peter (called “Cephas”) in “Revival” found Kirk Taylor (rather than vice-versa). “My wife was a script supervisor on the project, and a friend was producing it, and they recommended me to Harry Lennix, the executive producer.” Taylor was again a bit reticent to dive back into acting – he’d been working steadily as a respected acting teacher for a while – so he was surprised when Lennix offered him the part. “It’s one of the best parts in the film,” Taylor enthuses. A musical retelling of the Gospel according to John, is the passion project of Lennix (“The Blacklist”), co-directed by Danny Green (“Troubled Waters”) and Obba Babatunde (“Miss Evers’ Boys.”) with music written by gospel music star and three-time Grammy nominee Mali Music. Taylor will co-star with an all-star cast that includes Lennix, Chaka Khan, Michelle Williams, T’Keyah Crystal Keymah, Dawnn Lewis, and others. The role seems like one well-suited for Kirk Taylor, who has balanced his spiritual and professional lives for many years. A graduate of NYU, Taylor cut his teeth studying with the great generation of method acting teachers, including Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, before making his first uncredited screen appearance as a waiter in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Cotton Club.” While on the set, Taylor was inspired to suggest a bit of business involving bringing a bottle of champagne to Dutch Schultz (played by James Remar). Failing to get the approval of the assistant directors, he took advantage of seeing director Coppola on his own to boldly offer the bit for the scene and some improvised dialogue. Coppola loved the idea and put the scene in the film. For a while, Taylor was sky-high – until he saw the film, and realized that because his scene wasn’t scripted, his name was not included in the credits. “I was crushed! I literally cried in the back of the theater, then walked into the lobby wondering if this career was a big mistake,” he says. “Then two girls walked up to me and said ‘hey, aren’t you the guy who played the waiter?’” His faith in himself restored, Taylor knew he was in the right place. “I call that a ‘God wink,’” Taylor says, regarding other times in his career when he was down and felt comfort from unexpected places. It happened again after he appeared as a cop in the Sundance drama “MacArthur Park” in 2001. Immersing himself in the supporting role by spending time with both police officers and drug addicts, he was again chagrined to discover at a screening that his name had been left out of the credits (an error on...

KIRK TAYLOR Actor. Singer. Composer. Kirk Taylor hails from New York City by way of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Trained by late luminaries Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Clay Stevenson, Elaine Aiken, and Lehman Engel, he earned a BFA from New York University with a major in Drama and a minor in Music. Kirk has enjoyed success in the acting, teaching and music arenas. Imagine beginning your professional acting career convincing Francis Ford Coppola that you have a good idea for a scene; then moving on to work with film artists as varied as Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, and Charles Bronson. For actor Kirk Taylor, success as a young actor three decades ago gave him the confidence he needed to expand his career into becoming a respected acting teacher and accomplished musician. Now, Kirk Taylor is finding his “second act” as a film performer, appearing in the new musical film “Revival!,” a new rendering of the Gospel According to John. Produced by and starring Harry Lennix (“The Blacklist”), Taylor stars as Cephas (known as Simon Peter), the apostle who denies knowing Jesus, appearing with an all-star cast that includes Chaka Khan, Michelle Williams, and T’Keyah Crystal Keyman. “Revival!” opens in select cities this December, and is co-directed by Danny Green (“Troubled Waters”) and Obba Babatunde (“Miss Evers’ Boys”), and features a gospel-inspired score by Grammy nominee Mali Music. A student of both Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, Kirk Taylor’s life as a performer has found him working regularly in memorable supporting roles in films such as “Death Wish 3,” “School Daze,” “Full Metal Jacket,” and later in acclaimed indie dramas like “MacArthur Park” and “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.” He’s seen his share of parts left on the cutting room floor, and his name left out of the credits, but that hasn’t stopped Taylor from finding success and praise from all corners, from strangers who recognize him from a key role in a favorite film, to a chance encounter with Sidney Poitier that left a lasting impression. Guided by his deep faith and a lifelong respect for the craft of performing, Taylor’s resurgence on the big screen follows years of work as an acting coach and stage performer, with Broadway, regional, and off-Broadway credits in both contemporary and classical works. An avid musician and composer, Taylor’s creativity knows few bounds, and the stories he tells about a lifetime of professional work reflect unique insight into the trials and tribulations of a show business career.
