Ashley Bodi is the co-founder and creator of Business Beware. She majored in Communications and Marketing while also playing volleyball in college. After coming back from working on a documentary in Los Angeles she remembered the idea Robert told her when she got out of school and was ready to pursue "BusinessBeware.biz." While working on the site, she started her own business with editing and design, while also working for the family business. It was working for the family businesses that she really grew a passion for creating Business Beware.

"Not everyone always sees or knows how the customers treat the business owners unless you are in their shoes. My eyes were opened when I started working with the family businesses and saw how certain customers would take advantage of a business and the owner. It was then that I realized that something needed to be done. I am constantly amazed at the great feedback we receive from businesses and even customers! I knew this would be a great thing but had no idea just how many people it would help out like it has, so I am very grateful to be a part of this and help fellow businesses." -Ashley
