ARE YOU KIDDING?
This business was started by a five-year-old, I’m not kidding.
Young Sebastian Martinez has been obsessed with socks all his life. He loves collecting fun, crazy, cozy, and colorful socks and decided to share this passion with the world. With the help of his mom and big brother, who is now Are You Kidding?’s director of sales, Sebastian came up with an amazing company that isn’t just all about socks.
Socks by Sebastian has partnered up with the Live Like Bella Foundation to make a difference. Right now, 25% of all the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. This is only for a limited time though, so Sebastian can have different events like this for all types of organizations! Are You Kidding? always donates money to different organizations like this to ensure they’re giving back to the community.
Another cool thing about the socks is that they all are designed by Sebastian and a good amount of them serve as awareness for different illnesses such as breast cancer and autism. This is such a cool and unique aspect of his business!
I wrote about this article too! My favorite part of his business was the fact that a lot of them do serve as awareness for certain mental illnesses. It’s so great that kids at such a young age can have such big hearts!
It is very inspiring to see people do something this big at such a young age. Hopefully the socks can continue to make such a positive impact!
Very unique type of business! It interesting to see all aspects of industry working together to help make the world a better place. Even socks are now making an impact in the world! And from a 5 year old to make it even more inspiring.
The creativity of young kids inspires me. He took a simple idea and used it to share his passion and give to good causes. Its easy to think that as an entrepreneur you need an over complex idea, but this shows how ideas as simple as selling socks can be a success and have a big impact.
