  2. Rise Up! #221 - Laura Fessenden

Mar 5, 2025

Laura Fessenden dreamed of being a record executive, but food nosed ahead of music at Moxie Bread Co. in Boulder, Colorado.  Starting as a barista, Laura took on more and more responsibility until her mentor and bakery founder Andy Clark died in 2022.  Now the overall Director of Operations, Laura and her team are continuing Andy's legacy while building a business that works for everyone, well into the future.

There is also mention of Mark's new project, the Bakery Leadership Circle and two new, excellent baking books: Flour is Flavour by Dawn Woodward and Early Riser by Arlo Brandl
