No one could have predicted that there would be a need for his website, but now it has become an important website during the COVID-19 era.

Avi Schiffmann is a 19-year-old high school student in Washington State, USA. He gained a spotlight in 2020 because of a website he developed on his own to track COVID-19 cases throughout the world. Just a few months later, Avi’s website was getting 30 million visitors each day, which added up to over 600 million visitors.

When he was 17 years old, Avi was looking online for the COVID-19 case numbers online and all he could find was a slightly sketchy website in Chinese that he couldn’t understand. Because of this, Avi decided to create his own website which could display COVID-19 information in an unbiased and user-friendly way. With his experience with coding and website development that he taught himself, Avi was able to build the website and code it himself.

The website was released in January 2020 and made it possible for millions of families to stay up to date on the condition of the world during those difficult times.

The website shows a number of different types of numbers, including total confirmed cases, total of deaths, total recovered, and total vaccinated. The website also shows cases in each country and has a map to show data per country. The website is continually updated and shows accurate data.

Tehzeeb Lalani by Anna Ortiz

Tehzeeb Lalani, a young entrepreneur based in Mumbai, India, seeks to heal peoples’ relationship with food. She owns the company Scale Beyond Scale, a Mumbai-based company that consults clients on nutrition. Scale Beyond Scale is designed to help clients move beyond mindsets of short-term weight loss goals and on to mindsets of wholistic and long-term health. Lalani seeks to teach people to design behaviors that they can keep for a lifetime. Working with clients including those with health concerns such as diabetes and heart disease, Scale Beyond Scale is equipped to help people look at issues other than weight loss. She calls the movement toward wholistic health” more sanity, less vanity!” Lalani believes that two strategies for success in implementing ideas are setting deadlines and having a partner for accountability. “Telling people about the idea and that you will bring it to life in a few weeks/few months is also a great way to ensure you hold yourself accountable,” she says for an interview with ideamensch. She is also fond of her morning routines, which include meditation, breakfast, an hour of work, and a yoga class. She says that because she lacks control over the rest of her day, her morning is important for her to feel centered and grounded; she can then tackle anything that comes her way next. I think Tehzeeb Lalani conducts herself with thoughtfulness in both her personal context, with her morning routine, and professional context, in her field that prioritizes psychology. People would do well to slow their lives, think hard, work hard, and take care of themselves as Lalani does.

SAFETRIP

Langston Whitlock is another young entrepreneur who started his own business at the age of sixteen. He is taking the tech world by storm as he is the co-founder and CIO of SAFETRIP, which is the world’s first healthcare transportation mobile app and digital platform. With this app, Whitlock’s patented technology can allow users to book non-emergency and emergency medical transport. It also gives the user an option to pay for services using their insurance. Although he is one of the youngest entrepreneurs in this industry, he says he does not let his age deter him from his goals. The one thing he talks about is how he had a good support system because the people around him trusted his skills. The way SAFETRIP was created was that another person named Ja’Nese Jean saw a homeless veteran who didn’t have access to healthcare. Ja’Nese Jean brought on Langston Whitlock because she knew about his skills and talent. This goes to show how good Langston is at coding because SAFETRIP has raised two million dollars in funding. What was inspiring about Langston’s story was how he started to learn coding at the age of 12. He did it by building an anonymous messaging app to contact his absent father. He says that project is what helped guide him toward his greater purpose which is what he is currently doing with SAFETRIP. His message to other people was to always have faith no matter your circumstance because God has a plan for everyone. Although Langston did not come up this idea, I thought it was very impressive to see how talented he was in the tech industry to lead him where he is at today.

Brittany Canty is the co-founder of a brand called Comfort Eats. This business idea came about when she was visiting her best friend and co-founder, Reina in New Zealand. When Brittany visited, she came with her suitcase full of snacks from back home that her friend had missed so much. The joy that it brought her friend made them think- how can we ship comfort food to people that can’t find these foods where they live?

Brittany Canty

This is exactly what Comfort Eats does. Brittany and Reina have an online shop where people can have their favorite American snacks shipped to them while in a different country. They said they have seen people from other cultures become interested in their business too, not just Americans who are traveling. Brittany says her past experience as a product manager has given her lots of experience with their business. She tries to set one goal to accomplish a day, giving her freedom while also getting something important accomplished for the business.

Brittany says that she would give her younger self the advice of “trust your gut!”. She explains the world has a way of putting insecurities on young people and making them triple check everything. Her and her friend started this business as young entrepreneurs and they succeeded by being passionate in this one area.

Brittany says that listening to their customers is most important in running Comfort Eats. Their voice is most important in getting the right food delivered that will bring joy in so many ways. Brittany and Reina will continue to grow their business, reaching many people who miss the taste of their hometowns.

As a 7-year-old, Alina loved candy but knew that excess sugar was bad for her. She turned her love for candy into the driving force for creating a healthier alternative. She used the $7,500 in savings from her grandparents and chased her dream.

She created a fruit-flavored lollipop sweetened without sugar and began selling them in Whole Foods, SuperValu, and Amazon. She was so successful that First Lady Michelle Obama invited her to the White House as an official guest on two separate occasions!

Alina took a passion of hers and ran with it. She knew that if she wanted a healthier alternative to candy, chances are other people do too.

Alex Bond and Fresh Check

Posted by hattonem20

Fresh Check is an example of entrepreneurship that comes to us from the UK – where one of its cofounders Alex Bond makes his home. Fresh Check is a company that ultimately aims to reduce both the amount of food that is wasted in the world, and also to keep consumers healthy by avoiding foods that may be contaminated or outdated. Their product is a spray – one that when sprayed on packaging used to store food changes color depending on whether or not the sprayed area is contaminated. If the food is safe to eat, the sprayed area turns blue, but if the food is not safe to eat, the color turns to orange. Originally this product was made to be used on food packaging specifically, but the company has since made it an adaptable product that can also be used in restaurants and hospitals.

I found the thought process behind Fresh Check was very helpful and practical. The founders started with a problem (an awareness of the dangers of poor hygiene in food packaging), and then decided to search for a solution by taking their area of expertise and seeing how the knowledge that they already had could be applied. As the founders were at the time PhD students in Chemical Biology, “a biotech-style solution seemed like the most obvious fit.” They claim that this method of approaching the problem really paid off in the long run for them. The developers at Fresh Check have a vision for the future in mind too, as they plan to release a line of other food hygiene related products.

Teenage Boy Creates Clothing Brand Focusing on Healthy Habits

17 year old Eli Zied has always had an eye for solving problems. After his freshman year in high school, he enrolled in a marketing summer program where he thought of the concepts that later formed Habits 365. The goal of this clothing brand is to challenge its customers to create healthy habits all year round.

He began by creating designs for logos and an Instagram page to spread awareness of his brand. His older brother even joined the business as COO. A big problem he faced in the early stages of his business was gaining brand exposure. He faced this challenge by reaching out to athletes, musicians, agents, trainers, dancers, and comedians by offering them free merchandise in exchange for a photo or a post. With the help of these influencers, he went from having a couple hundred Instagram follower to over 80,000. Zied has even become close with several NFL and NBA athletes who are prime example of setting healthy habits year round. Habits 365 has become very successful and turns over $55,000 each year.

With all of this going on, he still manages to maintain good grades. He credits this to setting his own healthy habits each day and setting aside time for both his business and schoolwork.

Zied believes that Habits 365 will become one of the biggest streetwear brands in the world eventually because of how relatable their message and vision is.

Sprout and Lentil: The business which expanded during the pandemic

Posted by warburgle21

· 1 Comment

Sprout and Lentil is the only mom-and-pop vegan cafe on Aquidneck Island. Founded in 2019 by the husband and wife team of Carmen Foy and Matt Sole, Sprout and Lentil has grown from being a booth at a farmers’ market to having its own independent retail business located in the center of Middletown, RI. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Foy – who was born in Spain – trained at the Cordon Bleu in France and then worked for twelve years as a chef aboard yachts.

Foy and Sole have stayed true to their business mantra of “Food with a Mission” by serving only plant-based foods. For instance, Foy ordered granola and then returned it to the producer it contained honey. She and her husband are dedicated to a purely vegan business. Additionally, the owners have created a special niche serving their community for people who are vegan, vegetarians, and kosher. Foy and Sole know their target customers very well and have seen that there is a high demand for quality vegan products. Some may ask, “Who would ever want to pay for a $16 burger?” or “Why isn’t the 50 cent spicy ketchup included with my fries?” Without doubt, the prices are high and sauces are not included with fries, burgers, nor cauliflower nuggets. A gourmet truffle oil dressing retails for eleven dollars. Perhaps it is hard to believe here in western Pennsylvania, but their local customers – hard core vegan regulars, and tourists – do buy and enjoy the expensive truffle oil dressing as well as the $16 burgers. The customers believe that the high prices are worth the money for what they receive. Foy and Sole have created a demand for specialty vegan food.

Please take a look at Sprout and Lentil’s website:

Cristin Smith, Saffron & Sage

Posted by methenyem21

Saffron and Sage, a holistic health club, was created by Cristin Smith. Before her journey into healthcare, Smith used entrepreneurial skills in the non-profit sector working with companies and entrepreneurs to enhance their businesses by connecting then to their target market. She also worked in the finance and insurance world in the beginning of her career. However, what really led her to starting and working on her own company was an unexpected health issue. She was told after visiting with several doctors that her condition could require surgery and life-long medication. But she was determined to do her part by researching and making changes in her lifestyle. She worked to seek out holistic health care providers and more natural ways of living.

After traveling for so long to several different specialists and treatments, Smith asked herself, why isn’t there a single destination for these treatments, and one that won’t drain my bank account? Smith decided that if there wasn’t one available for her, she would make one. That idea from 2013 has now been transformed into a thriving wellness center which holds a multitude of classes and treatments for people. This includes sound therapy, botanical medicine, breathwork, meditation, and the list goes on.

In a blog post on Saffron and Sage’s website, Smith discusses her daily schedule, her creative process, what makes her the best entrepreneur she can be, etc. Then she explains her biggest tip for other entrepreneurs, look for amazing people and create an amazing support/business team.

Beyond the unique health services and education that Saffron and Sage provides for people, I am especially impressed by the website and the online services that Saffron and Sage provide. Even if you do not live in the San Diego area, you can still get access to their online classes and some services through zoom. Another option for people who don’t have the money to sign up for their online services is the company’s blog. After scrolling through, you can see a huge amount of health and wellness information that is completely free!

Smith is a true entrepreneur, and it is shown through her persistence in finding a solution to the health issues that so many have unanswered questions about. Her approach of holistic health and natural medicine is such a prevalent topic in our society right now, where people are getting sick but cannot find help.
