The Power of Resilience: Mallory Gombault on Daring, Learning, and Leading (Day 4)

In this special Bold Leader Spotlight, Karen Gombault sits down with her daughter, Mallory Gombault, a 23-year-old entrepreneur, consultant, and AI prompt engineer.

Mallory shares her journey from engineering student to co-founder of Human-I, a startup leveraging AI for personalized education, and G&T, a training and consulting firm focused on generative AI. Their conversation explores the mindset, resilience, and lessons learned along the way.


5 Key Takeaways


1. Resilience is Key – Mallory’s first business lost money, but she reframed it as an investment in her learning. Persistence led to success with her third company.


2. Dare to Put Yourself Out There – Entering competitions, networking, and reaching out to high-level contacts opened doors she never expected.


3. Passion Drives Success – Shifting to AI training / consulting happened organically because of her enthusiasm for the topic, leading to a thriving business.


4. Entrepreneurship Can Be Lonely – Facing skepticism from peers, she leaned on a strong support system.


5. Believe in Yourself Relentlessly – Setting a deadline for success and maintaining unwavering belief kept her focused and motivated.


“If you don’t give up, at some point, you will succeed. It’s just a matter of time.” – Mallory Gombault



Mallory’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and self-belief. And that is very impressive for a 23 year old entrepreneur starting her 3rd company.


By continuously learning, daring to take risks, and surrounding herself with supportive people, she has built a successful career at a young age. Her story is an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs navigating uncertainty.
