Meet Molly Reckman Nagle, owner of Spruce Nail Shop in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally an art teacher in Chicago, Molly hit the “5-year itch” and wanted to make a change. She got the idea to start a nail salon, and instead of waiting for investors and backers to come to her, she took charge of her journey herself. And her investment has absolutely paid off. Molly’s resourcefulness and malleability has made Spruce Nail Shop a unique, community-driven boutique in just its first 4 years.

Molly teaches us that all of your skills can be used to go after what you want. You don’t have to wait for someone else to give you permission to go after your dream. You can make it yourself.
