Description

Jy Maze, founder and president of Maze Freight Solutions, joins us to share her journey to creating her own company. She will share her insight on how life’s experiences can either decrease or increase your ambition. Learn how to find that ambition and apply it to entrepreneurship & leadership.
 

" 'This really is a white male industry,' Maze said. 'But what I’m seeing is they’ve paved the way for me to succeed. No one is blocking me.'

Maze immediately immersed herself in Kansas City’s entrepreneur community, taking full advantage of all the resources available. She connected with a mentor from SCORE. She tapped services at KCSourceLink and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. She talked to owners of trucking companies...

Maze said she loves that she’s opening doors for other women to enter the industry. She wants to be an example, showing that if she can succeed in the freight industry, other women can, too."
-Adam Vogler, Kansas City Business Journal
