Main Street Moxie

Main Street Moxie was born out of our love of the spoken word and constantly being inspired by people, businesses, and organizations that are mavericks in their own way. Our guests took a leap, all because they believed in themselves, and as a result, made something out of nothing. They had a vision and the necessary belief, and paved a new way – they had MOXIE! You can learn from these moxie stories. We're all capable of moxie in our lives and through our conversations with guests, you'll learn how to move your own moxie along the moxie meter.

Mary B. O'Neill, PhD

Mary B. O’Neill was one of the first writers to join Thorunn when she founded Main Street Magazine. Mary quickly became a trusted advisor and friend. With Mary’s background in education and her curiosity for life, Mary is a true connector of people and ideas. She herself has reinvented her life multiple times. Her Ph.D. in philosophy has served her well in getting to the “why” of things and navigating from award-winning teaching at the college level, developing an impactful high school career program, conducting bespoke employee engagement training, and serving as director of communications for a forest. Getting stuff up and running is her jam, something she discovered while raising her family.
