The unique thing is that this young boy, Hart Main, found the idea actually making fun of his sister for the “girly” smelling candles that she was selling. He created the idea of the ManCan with the help of his parents because the idea came to him at the age of 13. He found his drive because he gives back a percentage of each sale to food kitchens in multiple state. The idea started as a joke and the business only started because he wanted to buy a bike that cost $1,500. He originally thought the business would end after buying the bike but so many people loved it that he now makes over figures annually. His idea is so interesting because is the exact opposite of what you would expect. It is very manly smelling scents like, freshly cut grass,
sawdust, bacon, and many more. It is also interesting because the candles are put into soup cans.
He demonstrates courageousness, creativity, and a great mind that loves to solve problems. Hart Main is innovating because he is changing the entire idea around candles and everything they stand for. The future of his world is that candles are going to be more manly and able to give off better smells than the ones that are out on the market right now. Well, Hart inspires me because he is taking a huge risk in trying to change the popular idea of smelling candles. He shows that even though there is a lot of competition he has what it takes to compete and be successful in a market with other competitors. He also gives me hope because he is giving back and trying to help those in need by giving money to food kitchens in different states. Finally, he shows that anything is possible no matter the age.
Hard work and determination are just a few things that I have learned.

I think this idea is really interesting and also kind of funny that it started as a joke. It is amazing to see someone who is just 13 years old can take a simple idea and turn it into a successful business opportunity.
