The Lightning Before The Thunder
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE:
Molly Beck is the CEO of the all-in-one podcast creation and hosting platform Messy.fm (www.messy.fm) and author of business advice book REACH OUT that chronicled how she built her podcast company via networking strategy. Molly loves audio, she launched and built Forbes Podcasts; and she works with large companies to increase internal communication via employee-only, password-protected podcasts. She believes blogs are dying, social is too crowded and audio content is the frontier of this decade.
In this episode, Molly & Nikki discuss Molly’s entrepreneurial journey, the importance of having someone believe in you in the face of feeling like you don’t belong, and the experience of navigating the VC landscape while pregnant. Molly talks about creating a business focused on making podcasting accessible to all and amplifying unheard voices.
