Jack Bonneau is a 12 year old kid making a name for himself in my home state, Colorado. At just 12 years old, he appeared on the hit TV show “Shark Tank” to pitch his lemonade stand idea.

Lemonade Stands are as old as time. During the summer you seem to see hundreds of these lined up, ran by young kids trying to make a few easy bucks. But Jack looked at it differently. Instead of looking at it from a money perspective he sought to teach others about entrepreneurship and business strategies. His business is a more professional lemonade stand than the rickety wooden ones with warm lemonade and 25 cent cups. It is a genuine, actual lemonade stand that works effectively and makes a profit at the same time.

His business got 50,000$ for 2% equity at just 12 years old from the sharks, and his idea took off. His business grew to employ thousands and he sought to teach them about running entrepreneurial businesses in marketplaces.

What is incredible is that this kid is only 12 years old and teaching others about entrepreneurship. This just goes to show that not only can entrepreneurship happen anytime at anywhere, but also that entrepreneurship is a group activity. Business doesn’t have to happen alone and it certainly doesn’t have to be boring. Something as simple as a lemonade stand grew into a huge business and has been taking off ever since. His ideas have been able to inspire others and show that entrepreneurship is for anybody,

Moziah Bridges is a superstar on and off the court. Moziah is a 9 year old kid from the Memphis area. Moziah is best known for being on the hit TV show “Shark Tank”, and making bow ties for NBA stars like Willie-Caulie Stine.  At only the age of nine years old Moziah Bridges began his entrepreneurship career when his grandma taught him how to tie a bowtie. Out of all epiphany moments, it was something as small as learning how to dress nice from his grandma.

Just a few years later, Moziah was on Shark Tank to show off his tie business, “Mo’s Bows”. Now a bowtie business might not be the most interesting thing on Earth, but NBA players seem to disagree. This eleven year old kid was creating personalized bowties and regular ties for NBA players during the 2015 draft which included NBA Superstars like Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker and Kristaps Porzingis.

Moziah’s story teaches us the importance of the slow hunch and epiphany moments, and that they can come at anytime, for any reason. Mo’ took a small memory from his grandma doing something small, and made a business that reached professional athlete superstars on the biggest stage of their careers.

Moziah was able to create a massive product which is still growing today because of something small. I know that’s been said but think about it. Bowties. Something you wear to look nice, a nine year old kid saw and thought “monopoly and money”. It is something that I think lots of people could learn from and take to heart.

Grace Vella took Soccer by storm. Grace grew up in a household surrounded by soccer. Her family was Liverpool FC fans and she quickly began playing soccer at a ripe 5 years old. However, growing up she faced adversity through this love for soccer. She grew up believing that soccer was for anyone; but was constantly told by boys that soccer was not for girls and that girls soccer would always be second best. Even through this adversity she stayed strong and continued to play the sport she loved. Grace was extremely successful in soccer and played for high level club teams, such as the feeder club for Liverpool. Yet she still felt held back. Her gender defined her in athletics  and created an impassable barrier for her, and so many other women’s athletes just like her trying to be successful in a sport heavily dominated by men.

All of this brought her to develop “MissKicks”. A brand and business to change the way the world sees women’s sports. Focused on creating a brand for women’s soccer apparel to bring awareness that not only is women’s soccer equal to men’s, but really so so much more than anyone could’ve known. Other than Grace.

Her business idea hits on an emotional and personal note with other female athletes. By bringing an awareness to the equality in sports it also brings up other important ideas. The sports pay gap between men and women, the viewer gap and other issues. Grace’s perseverance through people telling her she couldn’t do it, that she was never enough or couldn’t be what a man could be lead her to creating a brand not only to represent female soccer players, but also female athletes in general. Her fight and willingness to silence the mob created the entrepreneurial opportunity of a lifetime and she took it.

Her work should not only be inspiring to Female soccer players. It should be a message to any marginalized athlete that you are not alone, and not out of the fight. There is a time for any athlete in the spotlight.
