What is up SharkNation!
The sneaker/runner industry is a part of modern pop-culture.
Luke and Mark chat to an entrepreneur from a different generation. Someone who is at the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey. Kevin started Sneaker Cleaner at the age of 17 and now 3 years later, he has a retail location in the heart of Dublin's most desirable shopping districts.
Sneaker Cleaner will also be featured in Ireland's high end retail store, Brown Thomas, as a product offering for their customers.
The guys chat about all things business and really dig into the mindset of the next generation of entrepreneurs in Ireland.
Key takeaways:
1. Find a mentor - Kevin mentions at least 3 business people who have been helping him in business and who have built successful businesses in the past (all three have appeared on the SharkPod).
2. Find a way to add value to your mentor's business - in Kevin's case, he used his audio/visual skills to help successful entrepreneurs with their business and gained invaluable experience as a result.
3. Collaborate big - try to find partners to help you grow. Kevin talks about partnering with some of the biggest product in the industry.
4. Pick a business with different angles to facilitate expansion: Kevin talks about different ways he might grow the business. From cleaning products to auctioning and mail order, there are all kinds of creative ways to make money in the Sneakers business and this is an element to keep in mind when you are starting your business.
