I first came across Moziah Bridges when watching an episode of Shark Tank. I am a huge fan of the show and i loved that an 11 year old kid was given the opportunity to be on it and pitch his business. When he was 9, Moziah launched a bow tie business he calls Mo’s Bows. His company mad 350,000 dollars in sales in three years starting in 2011 and nearly matched that in 2015 alone. He sells his bow ties in shops and boutiques in numerous states as well as in his online store. What was special about Moziah is that these bow ties had some sentimental meaning to them. His grandmother who is a retired seamstress taught him how to make and design his own bowties since she knew he always had a passion for fashion at a young age. He took this passion and looked at someone he could mold himself after. That person is Daymond John. Moziah got to meet Daymond on Shark Tank and he now serves as a mentor to Mo’s Bows. HIs courage and determination to get on Shark Tank is impressive and would stand out for anyone let alone a kid.
It was very special of him to take what he was taught by his grandmother and turn it into a business so that they can remember her legacy
