The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth

Hey friend, welcome back to The Found Podcast! If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years of business, it’s this: You cannot do this alone.

In this episode, I share my journey of discovering the power of community, from my first vision-boarding session with EmpowerHer to the mastermind groups and business friendships that have shaped my success.

The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth

Welcome back to The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth! I am beyond excited for this week’s conversation with the one and only Thea Larsen, the powerhouse behind Cowgirls Over Coffee. At the end of 2024, I started noticing a lot of Instagram engagement from a particular account and thought to myself: "There’s no way this person is following me." Thea was out there making an impact, building a community, and guiding ambitious women in a way that was inspiring and fresh. How could I have even crossed her radar?

The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth

It’s 2025, and I’m kicking off the year (okay, I know, it is February already, but I'm just getting warmed up over here) with some thoughts on what women—especially ambitious moms, business owners, and entrepreneurs—don’t need more of this year. Spoiler alert: it’s not another free download that's only two pages long, another social media platform, or another "life-changing" productivity hack. In this episode, I’m sharing how I eased into the new year (hello, sauna time and slow workouts) and a download of information that hit me on a random Saturday. We’re talking about...

187: "Wonder" in 2025

The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth

What are you wondering about in 2025? “Wonder” is my word of the year, and over here I’ve been wondering: What don’t I know yet? What do I want/need to learn this year? What does work look like in the months ahead? Where do I need to slow down? What do I need to stop doing? What does my audience need to hear? Want to hear? What moments in my life made me know “wonder?” So I took a little pause on recording and producing new episodes to make space and get perspective, and this episode is the product of all that wondering. The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth will be back weekly in...
