In episode two, Accountfully's CEO and Partner, Brad Ebenhoeh sits down with Red Clay Hot Sauce CEO, Molly Fienning.  Molly started her entrepreneurship journey with the company, Babiators.  There she was the CMO, where she spoke to the consumer, helped find their tribe, and helped develop the brand’s voice, look, and feel.

With Red Clay Hot Sauce, she wears all of the CEO hats that she did not have to wear at Babiators. It has been a huge growth opportunity for her on the finance, operations, and team management side of the business.  Molly shares her insight surrounding how she manages wearing all of those new CEO hats.
