Molly Sonsteng was the director of admissions at the Manhattan School of Music and had just completed a Master's at Columbia Teacher's College with her eye on rising through the ranks in higher ed. Then, one day, with no back-up plan, she just quit. After taking some time, brainstorming, researching, and exploring, she ended up co-founding Madcap Factory, an "amusingly eccentric production house." A few years later, she started Caveday, facilitated work sessions that happen in a group to enhance focus.
