Imagine you’re hanging out in a park and you hear two young boys, say around the age of 8 and 10, and they’re talking about their company. This company that they started and are now running and making some serious profits on. I’m quite sure that you would think they were playing a game, or just pretending. That is not the case with the Martinez brothers! These two entrepreneurs started a sock company that benefits multiple charities including Autism Speaks and American Cancer Society. As these two design new socks, with some very fun designs I might add, they put them up on their own website called “Are You Kidding Socks” with youth, adult, and even special pairs for select charities.

For $10.00 a pair you can enjoy some cute and unique socks that you know are benefiting a good cause.  This company goes to show that innovation can come at any age. You don’t have to be an adult to start a business. All you really need is a need to meet and a creative way to meet it.

I chose to write about this company to encourage people to innovate. Be creative, be crazy, and most of all have fun! You should never think that there are limits of what you can do or when you should be able to create. If anything, starting earlier is better. Start the patterns of innovation young, and then hopefully you will condition yourself so you never lose that mindset.

Check out their website and grab some socks, because who doesn’t want new, crazy socks!
