An 11 Year Old Entrepreneur, Kianna Elkins – Launches a New Custom Jewelry Website and Helps a Local Autism Center – Jason Elkins

Transparent: If this takes off, what do you plan to do with your profits? Kianna: I'm saving a 3rd of the money for more beads and stuff, and hope to make enough to eventually buy more valuable beads. Another 3rd I'm setting aside for the business, and the last 3rd I'm using as spending money. That makes up 90%, and the other 10% I give away. The spending money, I'm saving for something valuable... I really like those small laptops!

The Holidays – Joshua Wienczkowski

I’m Josh. I’m a 22 year old college student. I stand a hair shy of 6 feet tall and I look like every other guy from West Michigan: blue eyed, blonde haired and like to run. You probably can’t hear my northern accent unless you spend enough time around me. I smile a lot and probably spend too much time in coffee shops. My greatest fear is spiders and I definitely am a dog lover. I am the youngest of four boys and I’m a recovering procrastinator. Nice to meet you.

Even though I have never met David Wilcox, listening to his music is comforting like an old friend. When my wife and I were dating 16 years ago, we took a trip to Tennessee (we had no idea we would live here someday) and while visiting a friend of ours, we were introduced to [...]
