20 year old entrepreneur Jeremy Miller has a story that few can match in inspiration. He began his escapades into the world of business when he was just 16 years old. Miller started a company called Void Long boards. He soon realized that he had an astounding skill for brand building.
After just ten months, miller’s company had received over 100,000,000 impressions across his accounts, all by leveraging the power of social media. Despite the wide reach of his company, Void Long boards ended up failing. But that didn’t stop the young entrepreneur. He had discovered an incredible ability that he possessed for reaching potential customers through the internet. His next undertaking was to begin a social media marketing company by the name of J. R. Miller Group. At J. R. Miller group, Miller put to work everything he had learned from his previous attempt at starting a company. This time, Miller had not only a wide reach, but was extremely successful. Shortly after, Miller moved on to an even bigger undertaking when he started Inspired Blue Media. His company took off. In a few short years, Miller has done marketing for the likes of Subaru, SnapShfyt, and NASA, all before his 21st birthday.
This is a very cool story! Social media is a cutthroat ecosystem that requires significant skill to succeed in. It appears that Jeremy Miller’s initial marketing success showed him his potential. Even though the longboard business failed, he learned about an important skill he possessed. This realization enabled him to focus those abilities into an industry more in tune with his skillset.
