Kelly Mooney grew up the 8th of 10 children. Her family was a huge influence on her as she launched a career that placed her in the heart of the then-emerging industry of internet commerce. Now, she’s a CEO and Strategic Advisor recognized for leading organizations in customer insight and digital experience. She recently founded a pre-leadership organization, Equipt Women, focused on helping young professional women excel at work and in their personal lives.

More importantly, Kelly is a dear friend who I was fortunate enough to sit down with to hear her story. We talk about how important creativity is and the ways we can pursue it from a business perspective without compromise – as she did. We also explore the impact of the digital landscape on the world and what it’s like to be at the forefront of such an exciting, emerging field as the internet and digital media.

Nowadays, Kelly is focused on mentorship so I also take the opportunity to hear her experiences with handling everyday sexism, as well as some of her best business advice and we explore the idea that we should always keep the faith in ourselves and our abilities – even though that’s often easier said than done.

  • [00:18:00] Where did the idea of combining art with business come from?
  • [00:23:55] What happened as you got a degree and started working?
  • [00:26:00] Did the passion you had for your work make you more teachable?
  • [00:33:00] What was it like being part of an emerging industry?
  • [00:38:40] How would you summarize your professional experience?
  • [00:40:40] Tell me about the hard times in your line of work.
  • [00:43:55] What’s it like being a woman in your leadership role?
