Molly Grantham Biography

Molly Grantham is a 4x-Emmy winning journalist who spent two decades leading multimillion-dollar #1 evening newscasts as the prime anchor inside a Top 20 American media market newsroom. After speaking part-time for 20+ years, Grantham bet on herself in 2024, stepping away from live broadcasts to go all-in on keynotes, emceeing, moderating, and founding the sell-out, history-making “Bet On Yourself Summit.” Grantham exudes stage presence like only someone on TV nightly for decades can do. Recent feedback includes: "Dynamic, credible speaker," "Masterful at motivating," and, "Big ideas said in relatable ways—she’s captivating."

Grantham commanded stages for hundreds of clients in the past two years, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Coca-Cola Consolidated, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals. A front-page article in The Charlotte Observer describes her Bet On Yourself Summit as a “national movement” that “encourages and empowers,” and Grantham as having a “genuine passion to inspire others.” (The Inaugural Summit had a waitlist of 1,600+, Summit 2.0 sold out in 14 minutes, and corporate sponsors like Bank of America, Novant Health and Ernst & Young jumped in fast.)
