Meet some of the youngest entrepreneurs from this last Friday Night Live! 💙

We had the chance to spend some time with the incredible young business owners participating in Kids Markets and we couldn’t resist asking them about what they make, why they started, and what it’s like running a business when you’re still a kid.

And seriously… these kids are impressive. ❤️

From lemonade and handmade crafts to crochet, epoxy art, collectibles, jewelry, treats and some incredibly creative ideas, each of these young entrepreneurs showed up with something they created, a business they’re building and a story to tell.

Take a few minutes and meet them. 👏 Then be sure to show some love to the young businesses featured in the video!
