Moziah Bridges: Mo’s Bows
Moziah Bridges was just 13 years old when he appeared on the well known TV show, “Shark Tank” and became the youngest entrepreneur to do so. Moziah created this company in his grandmother’s kitchen table located in South Memphis, when he came to the conclusion that there just weren’t enough bow ties in the world to match is outgoing personality and style. He was dissatisfied with the lack of the selection of bow ties for kids his age. To solve this problem, he decided to make his own handmade bow ties, and thus started the internationally recognized Mo’s Bows company.
“Mo’s Bows mission is to make you look and feel your best while catering to the sometimes conservative, fun-loving lady or gentleman.” Moziah has truly lived up to the mission of his company. Not only is he an inspiration for aspiring young entrepreneurs, but he is also a living example of what a dream and some hard work can get you. In three years Moziah created a $150,000 business that has quite the following and he is not done yet. Moziah has “donated $1,600 to send 10 children from his hometown of Memphis to Glenview Summer Camp”. He hopes to go to college for fashion and start a full clothing line by the time he is 20.
If this kid can do it all while still getting to bed at 8:30 every night, why shouldn’t we? Let Moziah’s creativity and drive inspire you to follow your entrepreneurial dreams.

This kid is a true testament to where ambition can take you. As we have learned in class, anyone who can find a problem can be an entrepreneur- regardless of age- and if something is a problem for you, you are very likely not alone. Mo knew exactly what the problem was and worked toward a solution. It is that kind of focus which makes me confident he will be successful in his future goal of starting a full clothing line as well because he knows what he wants to do, and he is willing to do the work to achieve it.
This is really, really inspiring. No matter how old or young you are, you can innovate and create profound ideas. This kid saw an issue that many have and solved it. Who knew that a kid could create clothes like this. He put in the work and made his way to the top out of nothing.
