Molly Blakeley is an American serial entrepreneur, author, and speaker, renowned for her dynamic ventures and resilience in the business world. Born on October 8, 1973, in Idaho, she was raised in a rural Alaskan town, where she was inspired by her parents' entrepreneurial endeavors. By the age of 13, Molly had already embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, customizing clothing with rhinestones.
Over 15 years, Molly founded and operated 13 diverse businesses, ranging from roller rinks and flower shops to restaurants and lodges. While some ventures flourished and were sold for profit, others faced challenges, each contributing to her extensive business acumen.
In 2018, following a significant setback that left her with just $150, Molly launched Molly Bz Inc., a gourmet cookie company. Starting modestly, the business rapidly expanded, with her cookies gaining national attention and being featured in major retailers such as Walmart, World Market, and Costco. Her creations have also been showcased at prestigious events like the Emmys, Oscars, and Grammys, and even featured on "Wheel of Fortune."
Beyond her culinary ventures, Molly is the author of "How to be Fearless in Business," where she shares insights from her entrepreneurial experiences. She is also a sought-after speaker, inspiring audiences with her story of perseverance and success.
Molly's journey exemplifies resilience, adaptability, and the power of innovation, serving as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs.
