After the world financial crisis in 2008, Mary Lou had to reinvent herself from the ground up, learning all that she could about entrepreneurship and how to leverage the Internet for purpose and prosperity. In 2011, she self-published her first book, Personal Branding Secrets for Beginners, which became a #1 Amazon best seller. In 2013, she hired her first business coach who helped her quadruple her sales. Since then, she has helped her own clients plan, redesign, and/or launch their businesses; build a viable personal brand that reflects their core values and desires; achieve national and international #1 Amazon best seller status for their books; and figure out a clear and sustainable business model for their next ventures, among other desired outcomes.

She has been featured on numerous podcasts including Entrepreneur on Fire and Your Career Podcast, and has also interviewed more than 100 thought leaders on her own podcast, Play Your Position. When she’s not behind the mic, she enjoys speaking at various live events and conferences on a variety of topics to include but not limited to developing a powerful personal brand, business model mastery, writing and self publishing, leadership excellence, and podcasting.

Mary Lou has traveled extensively throughout the United States and abroad, enjoying many exciting adventures including climbing the Great Wall of China, cycle touring both islands of New Zealand and body surfing on Manly Beach in Australia. She enjoys tailgating before Oregon Ducks football games and loves whichever NFL team where Marcus Mariota is the quarterback.
