Bryan’s Take:
Whether in the boardroom or in the high-stakes world of national security, Molly Blomquist has seen the role that our words, tone, and body language can make in shifting behavior and perception.
Molly is an expert in security, risk management, interrogation tactics, and high-stakes negotiation who led a distinguished career working for the US government before taking a leap of faith and becoming a solo entrepreneur. Today, Molly leverages her vast experience in these fields to help clients in the private sector meet their needs.
One area of our conversation I found particularly inspiring was how Molly was able to achieve the mindset necessary to navigate an obstacle early in her founder journey. While getting her business off the ground, Molly had the clairvoyance to know that if she let any fear of failure prevent her from building her business, she would always regret it. This realization allowed her to move forward and create one of the most successful training programs for pet owners in the UK, Off Leash K9 Training London.
