Joel Ansett is a wonderful example of a millenial entrepreneur. He is a                singer/song writer, who biggest of all is married to my sister. Joel is a Grove City  Alum who currently lives in downtown Denver, Colorado and is a worship    leader at Saint Patrick Presbyterian Denver.

What inspires me about Joel is that he is constantly listening to the Spirit and boldly following wherever it leads him.  This has led him in a plethora of different ways such as: pursuing a career in his music, MARRYING MY SISTER, moving to Denver to be a worship leader and most recently a Kickstarter campaign.

Joel is looking to raise $23,000 in order to record a full length album, get copies of his CD printed, marketing and distribution.  He currently has raised just about half of the amount necessary for the Kickstarter to be funded.  This project is something that personally I wholeheartedly believe in.

The video below is a brief description of his Kickstarter:

Khoa Phan is a freelance Vine editor. To begin this venture he profiled the top ten subscribed YouTube channels. After researching this he realized a direct correlation between being early adopters and creating a large fan base of subscribers. Each of the top ten began building their platform early and immediately built their brand for their channel.

Because of this research, Phan decided to start his vine account the day that Ebay bought up Vine for $30 million. What makes Khoa Phan extremely interesting is that he currently isn’t in the top ten in terms of Vine subscribers; in spite of this he has been ranked by Mashable as one of the top ten to follow. Khoa Phan takes advantage of his artistic side and uses interesting content to drive traffic to his vines. His specific artistic use is his patented paper stop motion style. This has led to some lucrative product placement deals with big-name companies: Snapple, Livestrong, MTV, (RED), and Peanuts Worldwide.

Personally I will be following Khoa Phan and am curious to see where his Vine freelancing will take him. Will he grow into a great vine empire or has he met the peak of his vine success? Follow Khoa Phan on vine to find out.

Inspiring young entrepreneur clearly describes Hart Main (emphasis on YOUNG). At the age of 13 he started his first business called ManCans. The inception of this business dates back to 2010. Hart’s sister was joking with his sister who was selling candles to school and noting that the scented candles were too girly. He then jokingly suggested, “(his sister) ought to try more manly scents.”

Through some encouragement via his parents, Hart decided he would pursue this idea. It is inspiring to me that at the age of 13 years old, he developed his idea and turned it into a business. With just a $300 investment from his own personal fund and his parents, ManCans in the first two years sold over 25,000 manly candles. This idea also has a dual purpose. The contents of each of the cans are donated to soup kitchen across Ohio. Hart Main is yet another inspiring entrepreneur that I look up to and aspire to be like.
