Life is really good for 8 year old Sebastian Martinez, considering he’s making bank at such a young age. Martinez started his sock business, “Are You Kidding”, at age 5. He became the CEO at age 7. His idea for the company came from his collecting of fun and crazy socks. In 2014, Sebastian, and his director of sales/older brother, Brandon Martinez, made $15,000 in revenue thanks to their brilliant idea. Are You Kidding teamed up with a lot of other organizations to donate some of the funds to their causes. Examples include the American Cancer Society, The Live Like Bella Foundation, The Hue Studio, and Discovery Arts. If an 8 year old can do all this, what can you do to make your dreams a reality like Sebastian?

ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest thing ever!! You said that he makes his own socks. Does that mean he designs them?! I have made some pretty cool art projects with socks too. Also, I doddle around inside sock shapes some times which is probably how they get there designs?! These boys are so cool. Have you ever done something really cool with socks?
ReplyDeleteI really liked your article Nandita! I like that he is so young and still is so creative to do something like this. In your article, you wrote that his older brother Brandon became the director of sales. Do you know how that happened or did he just become the director of sales immediately.
