We had the good fortune of connecting with Maryle Malloy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maryle, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I have over 40 years of experience in both management and marketing. During that time, I was employed by various small business owners and corporations with hundreds of employees. I also worked for a family-owned company and myself for short periods. Starting my own business was not a new concept or experience for me.

When I left my last position as an employee (2012), I was prepared to launch my own business, however, it took me a year to determine my vision for the new venture.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My motto is, “If Biden can do it and Pelosi can do it, Malloy can do it.” This is fitting because we’re all about the same age and hard at work in our chosen professions.

I left my last position as the hospital manager of an 8-partner, 100-employee veterinary practice at the end of 2012, thinking that I was “semi-retiring.” It took about 3-months to realize that 1) I wasn’t financially comfortable with my income stream, and 2) I was bored out of mind.

While I figured out what I wanted to do when “I grew up,” I took a part-time position with New Mexican Kennels, the first and also the largest boarding kennel in New Mexico. In 2013 I founded Wide Web Advisor, LLC, a full-service Branding and Marketing Agency. New Mexican Kennels was my first client. They remained with me for the next 6-years until COVID hit, and they were forced to close their doors.

My vision for Wide Web Advisor back in 2013 was to create a boutique agency, using experts from a wide network of professionals I had previously worked with and bringing on others who could provide the quality of service that is my hallmark. It turns out this was a wise decision because when COVID struck, and my business floundered, I was not forced to lay off employees. However, I was in trouble. It took all my accumulated resources, PP loans, and SBA EIDL funds to remain viable.

Fast forward to this past year. We’re still here, and my energy and enthusiasm for my agency are renewed. My passion is helping small business owners, and entrepreneurs discover and build their brand identity and develop marketing strategies that connect with the hearts and minds of their audience. I have assembled a team of experts to help me achieve our goals, and we are growing!

Recently, Design Rush listed us as a 2023 Top Branding and Top Development Agency, and Expertise listed us as Best Web Designers in Albuquerque.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There are so many fascinating and beautiful places to visit in New Mexico.

Day 1 – Albuquerque – Recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country, Albuquerque’s ethnic tapestry is reflected in its architecture, artwork, cultural centers, and cuisine. Today, we’ll visit Old Town, a historic zone that looks much like it did centuries ago. The Pueblo-Spanish style architecture, flat-roofed buildings, and soft contours mirror the Southwestern landscape. We’ll look at jewelry, sculptures, paintings, weavings, and handcrafted work found in a few of the more than 150 stores and 35 galleries. To refresh our energy for the afternoon, we’ll have lunch at my favorite restaurant, Seasons Rotisserie & Grill, then we’ll visit The Albuquerque Museum of Art & History.

Day 2: Heading out at 8 AM, we’ll drive north for 90 miles to Santa Fe. We’ll spend the morning touring some of Santa Fe’s world-famous art galleries. Lunch today is on the patio of La Plazuela at La Fonda on the Plaza. Refreshed, we visit more galleries and then head to our hotel Ten Thousand Waves, for a well-deserved massage, soak in our private hot tub, and a delicious dinner.

Day 3: We’ll begin our day with a hearty breakfast at Cafe Pasqual’s, the Chez Panisse of Santa Fe. Then we’ll head up the mountain to Taos. I had the pleasure of living in Taos a community close to my heart, for a total of 10 years. I left there in 2009, so sharing it with friends and family visiting New Mexico is always on my itinerary.

We’ll walk around the Taos Plaza, visiting stores and galleries, then head over to the Taos Inn for lunch at Doc Martin’s. After lunch, we’ll visit two museums, The Harwood and Millicent Rogers. As the afternoon wanes, we’ll head to our hotel, the beautiful El Monte Sagredo, one of the Top Spa Resorts in America by Forbes. We’ve had a long day and hearty New Mexican lunch, so we’re ready to relax with a cooling beverage and a light meal at the hotel’s Anaconda Bar.

Day 4: We’re taking advantage of our stay at El Monte Sagredo this morning, beginning with a Yoga workout and a swim in the indoor saltwater pool. Back to our room, we bid a fond adieu and head Southwest for a 50 mile drive to Ojo Caliente, one of my favorite places in New Mexico for rest and rejuvenation.

Ojo Caliente is one of the country’s oldest health spas. Tucked between the rugged desert cliffs and cottonwood-lined bosque, (a grove of trees,) the hot springs await soakers seeking healing and respite. We’ve booked a Cliffside Suite with a private soaking tub, a private patio, and a view of the cliffs. Our day of pampering includes a massage and facial. After a nap, we’ll enjoy dinner in the Artesian Restaurant, where the fare is lovingly made with local ingredients and Ojo Farm produce, grown just a short stroll from the kitchen.

Day 5: It’s time to head home from our Grand Adventure touring Northern New Mexico. We bid fond adieu to Ojo Caliente and head south towards my home in Albuquerque. We are joyfully greeted by Skyler, my beloved Standard Wirehair Dachshund and her faithful companion, my sweet cat, Amazing Grace.

It’s time to unpack, order take out from Door Dash, and watch a good movie.

I started going to Ojo Caliente in the mid-80’s. The improvements and rennovations they continue to make to the spa continue to amaze me. to the spa since that time

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
So many people and events have shaped my life, personally and professionally, it is impossible to list them all here. My professional choices and growth are intimately connected to my life choices and personal growth.

My spiritual journey directly impacted (and still does) my personal growth. That journey began at the age of 9. I was a fierce child with an independent nature and a strong will. My determination to experience a connection to God and nurture my deep love for animals was a driving factor. That determination is why I have always sought out mentors and experts.

My step-father, Ethan Papineau, came into our lives when I was 7. He adopted my sister and me when he married our mother, and until he died in 2021, he was my rock and steadfast supporter.

I was an adult with three children before I realized my dream of owning a horse. Many people helped my on my journey to become a skilled rider and Quarter Horse breeder. I am particularly grateful to Jerry and Gwen Vawter, who helped start our breeding program, and Berleen Ross for her expertise in training me and our horses.

My love of dogs was nurtured by my mother, who was a dog lover herself. We seemed to always have a dog or two around. As an adult, I fell in love with a Gordon Setter, which set me on a course to learn about field training with this lovely pointing breed. Several years later, I discovered Golden Retrievers and my life changed. Goodtimes Golden Retrievers was born in 1989. The success we achieved over the next 12 years, producing 25 champions, multiple Best In Show winners, and companion animals for so many families is a direct result of the mentoring I received from Bill and Sylvia Feeney, founders of Birnam Wood Golden Retrievers.

Professionally, I’ve so many people to thank. With over 40 years of experience in several diverse industries, I’ll begin with one of my early mentors in the legal and escrow field, Paul Zimmer, Attorney at Law, and legal counsel for Avco Community Developers, the largest community developer in the United States. Kicking off my career in veterinary management, I am every grateful to Harmon Rogers, DVM. Before working for Dr. Rogers and his partners, I was a client in their practice, Snohomish Veterinary Hospital in WA. Dr. Rogers then purchased a puppy from me and a year later offered me a position as Veterinary Hospital Manager. This led me to a 15-year career in veterinary management working in both Washington State and California.

My professional life changed drastically in 2005 when I met David Dibble, one of the greatest systems thinkers and trainers of our time. When we met, I was in the process of launching a new OB/GYN healthcare practice startup in rural Northern New Mexico. After witnessing his work as a consultant for a regional hospital in New Mexico, I enrolled in his 6-month teacher certification program. I traveled once a month from New Mexico to California for training.

Since becoming certified in 2005 to train the 3D Problem-Solving Method (a systems-based management process), I have used this blueprint exclusively in managing, leading, training, and consulting work with numerous organizations.

I am grateful to the following mentors and teachers for helping me along my spiritual path of self-discovery and personal growth. Terry-Cole Whittaker, Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Don Miguel Ruiz, Fr. Richard Rohr. To beloved friends, Denise Anderson, Rev. Jewel Howard, and Bryna Blum, for your love and wisdom, and always having my back.
