When he started this, he didn’t realize this would be the start of his fame as a young entrepreneur. Ever since that fateful day where he made hi hot cocoa stand, he has been the CEO of his company Mr. Cory’s Cookies. After getting all the hot cocoa sales he possibly could Mr. Cory as he likes to be called started selling cookies. After trying hundreds of recipes, he finally found the right one. His recipe is 100% organic and natural Mr. Cory says, “it’s made from the right stuff’. The movement within the millennial generation to move towards organic and natural is exactly what Mr. Cory exploited.

He took the offer and with that money, he started giving back.

This is truly inspirational. I literally got chills to run down my back when I read his story. To me, this is the true American Dream. Finding a way to provide for yourself at such a young age will encourage his success later in life.
