Hart Main was 14 years old, performing his civic duty of teasing his older sister. Harts sister had to make candles for a school fundraiser. Of which Hart unrelentingly mocked how quote, “girly” all the candles were. While using the term, “girly” with a negative connotation could probably get an adult fired from a job, it made a job appear out of this air for Hart. When he pointed out how feminine all the candles were a moment of genius struck him. One silly comment struck an idea that turned an instigative little brother into a entrepreneur.
Hart pitched his idea of manly candles to two people he knew that had bottomless pockets…. mom and dad. The family worked together and invented ManCans. ManCans creates manly scented candles; such as campfire, bacon, sawdust, fresh cut grass… ect. ManCans are now sold in over 60 stores and counting!
The moral of this story is… brothers keep teasing your sisters it could make you some money one day. That was a joke; but a serious point Hart Main underlines for all who know his story is, that ideas can be birthed randomly at any time and the odds only increase if one begins looking for them.
Haha! I have seen these candles around in boutiques and I really liked the scents. How cool that he came up with this idea after teasing his sister having girly scents.
