Langston Whitlock is a young entrepreneur who has developed a ridesharing app called, SAFETRIP that allows users to have access to medical transport. These rides can be requested in different forms such as a ride in advance or at the moment when you need it. It also has an important feature that allows users to select if the ride is an EMT (Emergency Medical Transport) or if it is a NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transport). Whitlock gives customers different options for paying for rides which even includes using insurance for the ride.

This is an awesome service to provide for those who need transportation to and from medical buildings and services. The transportation offered by some medical groups can be a terribly large expense and many people do not have an option besides paying the fee. I really think so of the greatest ventures are those that set out to serve others. People also trust the business more and want to invest in it when it is honest and service-oriented. This is evident through the $2 million in funding that Whitlock has received as a result.

I see this business as a great innovation of an already existing market and business idea. The rideshare industry has been a really great resource for people all over the country. SAFETRIP targets a specific niche that is in need of transportation dedicated to those with delicate medical needs. I believe entrepreneurs do their best work when looking outwardly, to have an impact on other people’s lives in a positive way. When focused on how to create a money machine entrepreneurs can miss the actual issue they are trying to solve and market to.

Social media has been building bridges to new ways of innovation and entrepreneurship ever since it began. Those who have capitalized on it when it began, however, are the ones making all the money and gaining the most fame. Felix Kjellberg, or better known to some as “Pewdiepie,” created his youtube account only one year after the website was released. It wasn’t until 2011, though, that he began to post on what would become the largest account on the platform ever (owned by one person). He began by posting quite short and relatively boring videos on his account purely for the entertainment of his friends and himself. As time went on, more people began to find his account, subscribing to it, and Felix’s fanbase grew. Less than a year later he had surpassed the 1 million subscriber mark. He began to post more and more and only a year after that was at 10 million. It was safe to say that he was on the right track.

Pewdiepie began to create merch such as shirts, chairs, headsets, and eventually his own game on the app store. He was rapidly gaining fans and in the spring of 2019, the creator finally reached an astonishing 100 million followers, which meant that 1 in 15 people who used youtube was subscribed to his account. This may not seem like much, however, almost half of the country uses this platform. He is still creating to this day and after selling many products and featuring in other videos and ads, he has accumulated roughly a cool $45,000,000 from online interactions alone. Felix will forever be remembered in the industry of videomaking and for revolutionizing the world by his assistance in bridging the gap between the real and digital worlds of entrepreneurship.

One of the biggest issues that have faced students for decades is the problem of bullying. Bullying is an issue that schools have worked hard to combat in many different ways, some have found adequate solutions while other schools still struggle to figure out just how to put a stop to bullying. Sometimes the bullies can’t be stopped because those who are bullied aren’t willing to come out and say who the bully is. Brandon Boynton, a successful young entrepreneur has created a new way to help combat bullying in schools. The BullyBox is an online platform that can anonymously get students in contact with school administrators to report bullying. Being bullied in school himself Brandon wanted to help students escape the pain he felt from bullying.

For some entrepreneurs, their drive is inspired by personal trauma experienced, this is what pushed Brandon to create such a successful product. One of the great things about The BullyBox is that it is anonymous, it is hard for many students to go to the school administrators to point out who it is that is bullying them this platform helps bullied students feel safe in standing up for themselves. The platform also encourages others to stand up for those being bullied, Brandon wanted the application to be used not only for those being bullied but those who saw what was happening and could help put a stop to bullying behavior.

Brandon Boynton hit spot on, one of the most important parts of developing a product and business, looking for pain and developing a solution. Bullying was a pain he knew existed not only because of how much it is talked about in school but because he had experienced it himself. It took a clear and present pain and developed a product to help alleviate it. The BullyBox is now being used in many different schools across the US.
