Elizabeth Holmes: the Entrepreneurial journey filled with scandal

Elizabeth Holmes was a young entrepreneur who started the company Theranos at the age of 19. Holmes was a student at Stanford University when she came up with the idea for Theranos, a healthcare technology company that claimed to have developed a revolutionary blood testing device. The device was supposed to be able to conduct a wide range of blood tests using only a small amount of blood, which would make blood testing more convenient and accessible.

Holmes dropped out of Stanford to pursue her business idea, and quickly gained significant attention and investment for Theranos. The company grew rapidly, and was valued at over $9 billion at its peak. Holmes was hailed as a brilliant and visionary entrepreneur, and was featured on the cover of major magazines.

However, Theranos faced controversy and legal challenges. The company was accused of making false claims about its blood testing technology, and was eventually investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In 2018, Holmes was charged with multiple counts of fraud by the SEC and the DOJ. She settled with the SEC, agreeing to pay a fine and to be banned from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 10 years.

Despite the controversy and legal challenges, Holmes’ story remains an example of a young entrepreneur who pursued her vision and achieved significant success at a young age. However, the eventual downfall of Theranos serves as a cautionary tale about the risks and challenges of starting a business.

Manly Candles Made by a Kid

The main character in this venture is Hart Main. The kid is still only thirteen years old. That has not stopped him from creating a business that does over one million dollars in sales every year. It all started when his sister was selling candles at school. He was making fun of them for smelling so “girly.” He then came up with the idea for candles that appealed more to the male senses. Girls are not the only ones who like good, quality sents.

He started to make them and put the candles in reused cans. He and his parents started the business called ManCans. He originally did it to save up for a bike costing $1,500. Now he makes millions. His parents invested a lot in the company and play a big part of course. They clearly have taught Hart good Morales and values.

Not only do they do they recycle soup cans as the holder for the candles in order to help the earth. They also donate a portion of every sale to soup kitchens in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. This generation is very empathetic and also environmentally concerned. Hart Main has clearly taken that into account in his marketing strategies.

The product itself comes in many manly scents. Some ones I thought sounded good were campfire, bacon, sawdust, fresh cut grass, and grandfathers pipe. The product is a cool idea and it is cool to see someone so successful at such a young age. People in college can not use the excuse that they will get started on their dreams later when this kid is out here doing this. We can all use him as an inspiration. I hope he got the bike that he wanted.

Cameron Jurgens is an NFL center. He plays for the currently undefeated Eagles. He plays back up for one of the best centers in the league, who he hopes to replace once Jason Kelce retires. Cameron Jurgens got the opportunity play in the NFL because of his elite play for the Nebraska Cornhusker. He was a third team all big ten selection. His tough play earned him the nickname “beef” Jurgens. He is huge guy at three hundred and two pounds which probably contributes to the earning his nickname. This name gave Cameron an idea.

The nickname is a constant advertisement. He realized this and decided to start his own Beef Jerky business. With the new NIL deal allowing NCAA athletes to make money off their image and likeness, he was able to start making money in college. He started wearing his merchandise to post game conferences and speaking on the business when he could slide it in. He realized the better he played the more attention he got and the more advertising his business got.

Once he left college for the pros, his opportunities only rose. He went to NFL combine and got national attention. He was one of the fastest offensive linemen at the draft and that got everyone to turn their heads. His nickname started to spread to the national media. Cameron took full advantage. He started to offer his jerky for free to the analysts and sports casters. They are the ones looking for a story to talk about. All over national media people were raving about how good his jerky is. Some analysts who did not get any started to ask him on live TV for some jerky.

Cameron Jurgens impressed me. He was able to use his gifts and abilities in one completely different are to make him money in another. He clearly had good situational awareness and maximized what opportunities he has received.

Get “Illuminated”

Calloway Cook is a young Entrepreneur who is taking a major step in the supplements market. He was frustrated that the supplement market was lacking an answer for solid healthy supplements. He was working out and taking supplements, but did not really know what he was putting in his body.  He saw some positive effects of the supplements, but did not know the long term effects of some of the ingredients. Just by talking to other people in the market, he realized there was no answer for an openly, honest supplement.

He realized people would be willing to pay a high price to know what they are consuming. The market is shifting to a place where it is willing to spend more to eat better. There has been a health movement with the spread of information. Calvin Cook wanted to enter that market and find a solution he can even use himself.

He created Illuminate labs. Illuminate labs. Illuminate labs are very open about what is in their products. They say that there are no supplement standards in the United States. That is why Illuminate Labs meets the European Union’s standards. The European union’s standards tend to be the highest in the world in this market. On his LinkdIn he just posted that their website had over two hundred thousand hits this last month. They had over one million users in general last year. Their supplements are starting to build a consistent user base.

I think the main thing you can learn from this example is that you do not have to look past yourself for a product. Just examine what problems you have in your life. Your product do not have to solve everything for everyone. It can just be a problem you face, because most likely other people face the same issue.
