When Nic Bianchi was 12 years old, he had a passion develop that he never would have anticipated. His mom gifted him a candle-making kit, and as soon as he began experimenting with it, he quickly realized that he enjoyed learning all the important processes and materials needed to make a good candle. He soon was making candles constantly and fell in love with all the math and science he was using to create. Nic was incredibly creative, and his parents even noticed his entrepreneurial skills from a young age when he developed his own logo on paper at 7 and hung it on his bedroom door.
At 15, Nic officially launched his business “Bianchi Candle Co.” and he has been running it since. He has many different types of candles and has loved coming up with ways to use them in encouraging ways, such as having a candle line called “Heros” to support first responders and nurses, etc. Right now, Nic plans to keep the business going but he would love to continue growing and adding more employees. It will be incredible to see where Nic goes with this passion, and I think he is going to do incredible things, whether it’s with his candle business or starting a second business later on.
This is remarkable at 15 years old to be this successful! I love how he fell in love with the process making the candles. A good entrepreneur needs to be in love with their craft in my opinion. He has big things in his future.
I love this! I feel like sometimes candles are seen as a girls thing (especially as a 12-year-old) – and maybe I’m reading into it too far – but I love that he’s not ashamed at all. Also, I feel like candle making is not something that I would think of as a common hobby, but it’s really cool that 12-year-old him fell in love with it and is now pursuing it.
I’ve always thought of candle-making as an interesting craft hobby, but Nic noticing the math and science of it is something I’d never even consider! Such a great example of how people can apply their different strengths to the same problem/project!
