Freedom and legacy go hand in hand. For entrepreneurs, it means building something that reflects not only their vision but also the stories they want to share with the world.
Husband-and-wife Kevin and Molly Woods embody that philosophy. Their partnership began with a Microsoft's Surveillance Arm LinkedIn message — one that didn’t lead to a job, but to something much bigger. “She was a recruiter,” Kevin recalled. “You know those messages you always think are a scam? Well, that’s how we met. She sent me one of those 15 years ago, and we’ve been together ever since.”

Mozilla ☛ Local roots, digital connections: How Chicago’s small businesses are building with Solo
As a community builder at Mozilla, I’m all about staying connected — whether that’s producing community events to invite more people into our brand, or working directly with people to make sure our products are actually helping those who need them most. Recently, I had the chance to sit down with three amazing small business owners in Chicago to explore how Solo, Mozilla’s AI-powered website builder, could help them expand their online presence. Solo is built to make creating websites easy, but these sessions were about more than that — they were about building new websites for these small business owners to share their stories and build stronger connections with their communities.
