Meet 
Sofi Overton, a young entrepreneur who found a wonderful new way for girls to store their phones when they are wearing leggings. Sofi started her company– Wise Pocket– when she began noticing how her older cousin had to put her phone in her socks when she was wearing leggings.
Sofi took this thought and ran with it as she designed socks that have pockets high up on the sock that prevents the phone from falling down the wearer’s legs. Not only that, but Sofi also designed leggings that had pockets big enough for an individuals phone, while keeping the wearer comfortable.
Her good business is not as impressive as her kind heart as she donates a pair of socks to homeless kids and people with every pair that is purchased. This all started because of the numerous number of people in school district alone who live without a home: 627.
Sofi’s mission to make socks and leggings for active kids like her has transformed into a business that has not stopped selling. She currently has three designs that are coming soon in her legging line and socks that are simple but fashionable.
Furthermore, she sells hats and hoodies to increase her business. Sofi has done a wonderful job starting her own business.
This is such a great example of seeing a problem and solving it. If you don’t try to solve a problem someone else will. It is so great to see young female entrepreneurs understanding that they can solve any problem they want to. Presenting girls with the ability to store their phones in their leggings and socks instead of having to carry it is such a great idea that the fashion industry didn’t think of. This goes to show that good ideas come from everywhere, not just the experts.
Another great example of someone find a relatively small but easy problem and finding a way to fix it. A true redemptive entrepreneur as well with her cause to support those in her school district by giving to them. Its also incredibly impressive that she wants to give back at such a young age and realizes what type of impact it has around her.
It’s so cool that she was able to see the problem before it was even addressed and create a functional and fashionable solution. I love that she has made philanthropy part of her business model- it just goes to show you that a young entrepreneur can be successful and still give back. Great story!
