From a young age, Mikey Wren had a passion for vending machines. His earliest recollection of the machines dates back to when he was just eight years old. He was attending a summer camp and decided he wanted a snack. He discovered a vending machine and was amazed at the fact that someone owned the machine and was making money through his snack purchases. He decided right then and there that one day he would build a vending machine empire. Although for many the goal seemed out of reach, Mikey was determined. He made a deal with his parents to split the cost of a vending machine for Christmas and raised the money for not one, but two machines. Wren immediately went to work networking, attending conventions and meetings, and soon found a home for his first two machines in an office building. With the money from those machines, he bought two more and placed them in an apartment complex. Mikey’s business gained attraction from the snack manufacturer, KarmaBox, who sent him a free machine and helped him find a location for it. His business was absolutely skyrocketing, but he wasn’t done just yet. Mikey remembered just how difficult the early days of his journey were, and wanted to give back to those who were following the same path he did. Wren now sells refurbished vending machines to startup businesses to help them get on their feet. These machines come with a starter pack that gives info and supplies to first time vending machine owners, things he wish he had when he started off. Mikey’s Munchies continues to grow and flourish, with such an early start the sky is truly the limit.

I think Mikeys ability to find his passion and be able to expand and make a living off his passion is very inspiring. It shows his focus and determination at sticking to his passions. This is all inspiring and shows that any age should be able to make a living. Vending machines are also a great way of passively making income and still being able to attend school. It’s also apparent how bad Mikey wants to help his community and make his community a better place.
