The Power of Accountability with Jess Lynch

This week I sat down with Consultant and Wish Route Founder, Jess
Lynch.


Jess Lynch grew up in the Boston area and has always had a love
for business. She went to Babson College as an u'grad and met her
now husband, Conor, on the third day of freshman orientation :)
After graduating, she pursued her Masters in Accounting and her
CPA. She then spent 4 years in Forensic Consulting, investigating
corporate fraud and calculating economic damages in litigation
cases and disputes before going back to her alma mater for her
MBA. During her MBA program, she was inspired by the recognition
of a wish epidemic - she kept hearing friends say again and again
that they wish they were exercising or eating healthier and
something clicked. Jess founded Wish Route, an accountability
service that gets users unstuck with their wellness intentions
and moving forward. Jess graduated from her MBA program in May as
the valedictorian of her class and is now developing Wish Route
full-time.
