Michael Wren (AKA Mikey), was a young man who was very entrepreneurially minded. Ever since he was young he’s had ideas on ways he could be making money to help others. When Mikey was the young age of eight years old, he became the Co-founder and CEO of Mikey’s Munchies. Mikey’s Munchies is a vending machine company with lots of machines around the local area. These machines come fitted with the basic snacks you might be craving when you are hungry. Mikey’s vending machine was the start of a successful future.
Mikey now age 13, likes to help out his local community. Mikey likes volunteering to raise money for kids who may not be able to afford toys. Mikey is also the author of two children’s books. These books can help kids open their eyes to the world of business at a young age. The first book titled “Mikey learns about business”, covers ideas that might help a child start a business. These ideas include things like creating a business plan, basic marketing strategies, and simple networking skills that can be easily learned and applied. His second book titled “Biz is a Whiz” is targeted at a younger audience.
Needless to say, Mikey has a bright future ahead of him and is a prime example of a successful young entrepreneur.
Vending machines have been a very popular source of income or side hustle for many people. They are relatively cheap to purchase and stock and can be a fun way to make a semi-passive income. It is very cool to read about a little guy who has taken his own unique approach to the industry since as is true in any business differentiation is key.
This is a neat story about a young entrepreneurial mind. It’s cool to see that as Mikey got older, his passion for entrepreneurship stayed just as prevalent. For a 13-year-old to be the author of two children’s books is really impressive. If he was able to progress from vending machines to becoming an author, who knows what will be next for Mikey.
It’s very cool to see a young person have a new take on an industry that for so long seemed to be stagnant and not moving in any new direction. And then for him to move on to other ventures to help people in need is really awesome.
This is such a simple idea and sometimes simple is best! Vending machines are nothing new to the world but they are still a great way to make some money. I also love how this young boy was able to use the knowledge he gained to make children’s books… about business! I think that is really cool, considering how business is not really taught or discussed in education, even through high school. I would have loved to know a little more about business before high school and if I would have been exposed to it a little more as a kid, I think it would have really helped.
