Moziah Bridges, a young stylish talented individual. Moziah at the age of nine loved style, and at this age he struggled to find a suitable bowtie. He decided to start his own business called Mo’s Bows, pretty clever for his age. Although, for him it wasn’t just giving the name and saying this is my business, he had to learn how to sew and then he innovated in making colorful bowties by using his grandmothers left over sewing projects. As time went on Bridges hired tailors, and he just took care of the business and creative side of things. This business was on shark tank as Bridges give his run down on the business. He has been pretty successful as a bowtie businessman, selling more than $700,000 in handmade men’s ties and accessories. A couple cool things that Moziah has done with his business is he made a custom “Obama Blue” tie for President Barack Obama, and his company has produced bowties and neckties to all thirty National Basketball Association teams crossed the country! That is very impressive for where he had to start and to where he is now. These are so very cool and interesting facts that his company will forever remember. Now, Moziah’s company has other companies that carry his ties, like Cole Haan, Bloomingdale’s, and Neiman Marcus. These are some very big businesses. Also, he is a Memphis native and in 2012 he started a Go Mo Summer Camp Scholarship Fund. This is a charity, and its goal is to send Memphis kids to summer camp. To the most recent date, this charity has sent more than fifty kids to summer camp. Overall, this is a great story and an even more successful business.
