Pask’s Removals is a removal company that has established itself as one of the top removal companies in London. The owner, Josh Pask, 27, has had a fascinating journey bringing this business to life. 

Back in 2020, Pask was playing professional football at Coventry City F.C., a second-tier team in England. His football experience opened his eyes to the countless times players move teams and the difficulty of moving and transporting belongings across England and the world. Pask knew he had to do something about this problem, so he created Pask’s Removals. His goal was to take the stress off footballers, helping them to focus solely on settling into a new team and new place without any other worries. 

Since 2020, the company has continued to grow, with Pask’s Removal getting their first international move with a Dutch professional footballer in 2021. Additionally, Pask has expanded the company to offer many options, such as house removals, office removals, international removals, and storage services. Even though Pask’s Removals started to target professional footballers, Pask saw the opportunity to scale the company and executed it perfectly. 

Josh Pask is still playing professional football, now for the Welsh club The New Saints, and his journey as a footballer and entrepreneur showcases his brilliant work rate and drive to pursue both challenging careers.

Bryce Crawford is a 21-year-old evangelist who posts his interactions with people on YouTube. In his youth, Bryce grew up in Georgia and was raised in a Christian household. Bryce was surrounded by faith. However, he struggled to understand why certain authority figures preached about right and wrong but didn’t live by their own teachings. He started to drift away from God for a lot of his life, and at one point, he even decided he was going to take his own life. At what he thought was his last meal, at a Waffle House, Bryce had a special encounter with God. This moment opened his eyes, lifted his anxiety and depression, and brought him back to faith.

Since that moment, Bryce has been pursuing God with his life, posting content on YouTube. For his videos, he walks around the public and evangelizes, sharing the gospel and his testimony and praying for those who need it. While growing a large following, Bryce’s mission is to spread joy and bring others to Christ. In addition, he has a clothing brand that sells inspiring Christian merch with a meaningful message, aiming to further spread the Gospel through a simple design on a t-shirt or hoodie. 

We can learn from Bryce as he strives to glorify God with his actions and takes on his call to help others and spread the word of God. He found his passion and pursued it to the fullest, creating a successful platform and brand that inspires many children, teens, and even adults around the world.

In 2019, Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor, seniors at Miami University in Ohio, had a hunch to create a tattoo aftercare product store after seeing the digital branding issues in other brands. This started as a test, marketing, and selling of products that still needed to be created. Their “test run” ended up being successful, selling many of these unproduced products. The pair had to cancel the orders since there was obviously nothing to give, but it opened up the idea that this business could actually work. They also wanted to differentiate the product by using clean ingredients since most traditional tattoo skincare products contain unnecessary ingredients that may be harmful.

Zak and Agbitor then established Mad Rabbit Tattoo as an actual brand. After this point, they went on the television show Shark Tank to pitch their idea to investors. The pitch was successful, landing a $500,000 investment from Mark Cuban. Now, Mad Rabbit Tattoo is valued at $56 million, which is a mind-blowing valuation for an idea that stemmed from two college students.

These young entrepreneurs teach us the need to jump on ideas that we may have, even if we are still determining how successful they’ll be because you never know what may happen. Even if it’s just the process of testing a product in a particular market (like Mad Rabbit Tattoo), taking advantage of a possible opportunity is crucial to be a successful entrepreneur. Even though they didn’t create an entirely new product, they identified a problem with only poor solutions, finding themselves a solid foundation for entering the market.

In 2015, Tara Bosch, a 20-year-old student from Toronto, Canada, acknowledged that she had an addiction to candy. She decided to research more about sugar, and she discovered that it is more harmful to people than she had known, driving her to look for a solution. Tara dropped out of college at the University of British Colombia, intending to revolutionize the candy industry by providing delicious candy without excess sugar. It took three months of experimenting with the recipes to find what she would later sell. What she identified was that she could use plant-based fibers and plant-based sweeteners to replace corn syrup and sugar.

Eventually, in 2016, Tara was able to commercialize her product, beginning to sell it in several Canadian stores and making the deliveries herself. In 2018, Tara expanded the flavors sold by Smart Sweets with two new flavors, which are now their most popular ones. By 2019, Smart Sweets sold its products in over 20,000 stores. Since then, Smart Sweets has added nine new flavors and expanded into over 120,000 stores. Most recently, Tara has upgraded the taste of her flavors while keeping the same amount of sugar, striving to satisfy the customer’s needs sufficiently. At 25, her business is thriving, with Smart Sweets bringing in $55 million in revenue.

Tara now inspires many young entrepreneurs, motivating them to seize an opportunity when they see one (such as a problem spotted within the candy industry) and how to scale a business to be widely known throughout many nations. Her business excelled because of her dedication to solving a problem she faced, and her solution will positively impact many people in the future.
