Since the age of 12, Ephren Taylor has been moved with an entrepreneurial spirit. Initially, Ephren started making videogames because his parents lacked the financial means to purchase them.

Ephren Taylor, now 24 years old is the youngest African American CEO of a publicly traded company ever with two successful companies of which he is at the helm: City Capital Corporation (CCCN) and AmoroCorp (AORO)…this is a feat most would consider unimaginable. Ephren states "I achieved my goals by being proactive on the thoughts of achievement. I envisioned and ingrained them into my conscience and worked toward them at a steady pace." The base of what he does at AmoroCorp, is create opportunities for others so that they may be able to prosper as he has. Ephren explains "In short, we aim to empower communities through socially conscious development."

Having created a winning formula for success, he is now taking his message "From Our Board Room to Your Room" with "The Urban Wealth Tour". Columbus, Ohio will be the first stop on The Urban Wealth Tours 18-city tour schedule.
