Philip Hartman began his entrepreneur journey at the young age of 8. He really focuses on “play” when innovating implying that he simply investigates problems hes interested in and has fun investigating. He has always been commited and interested in making something bigger and better. At the age of 15, Philip built a system that changed the windshield market. He second invention was in the field of optical fibers. He found a much cheaper way to fuse optical fibers that was much more dependable than traditional methods. He is a great example of the innovation process. Most ideas and inventions do not occur over night they take time to develop to become a legitimate business venture. Philip Hartman is inspirational to be as an entrepreneur because of his commitment to his craft. I find his story encouraging and established on hard working values.
