This 16-Year-Old Candy Salesman Is A Better Business Person Than You

folks this is one of the best stories I've heard in a long time my next guest is a 16 year old entrepreneur who made national headlines setting up an illegal candy business that he ran out of the bathroom of his school and get this he made about $33,000 you have got to respect the hustle all the way from England everybody please welcome Nathan John Baptiste all right all right let let me get this straight Nathan yet you earn roughly $33,000 yes selling candy out your school bathroom yes indeed indeed it was experience but we did it in ends huh how did you make it lucrative what what went into this business so literally I had three different schools running so it wasn't just a normal selling candy in school though there were twelve different employees across three different schools yeah yeah yeah twelve different employees we've got three different schools and every single morning we would sort of dish out all the sweets and during the morning and they'll come back to me at the end of the day with the profits they made we had a actual shop in a boy's trailer as well what happened and how'd you get shut down so literally one day I got caught doing my thing in the toilet selling the sweets and yeah and then what happened was I was in my test one day and the teacher he came in ox Nathan can you come with us and they searched my bag and all over from there just shut down but we were shut down completely let me say that we were shut down completely come on yeah we yeah we still had the the employees running the business whilst I was excreted from the classroom we were sort out completely right now what was it or who inspired you to set up this business what happened so I actually went to a program which allowed people from black backgrounds can make trades myself and it was to better ourselves so there somebody that came in we had loads of guess but a one guest in particular and now the guy could call and he had a past you know I had a pass to you and he came in and he actually spoke to us about his business and how he started to get into business and from that day I met him and he pulled out his car key I remember the car key and that from the room and I saw that I was like yeah I'm getting to business and that's the day I started working Oh God Turkey yeah that nice cocky yes very good car I got to get into bit the story okay you've earned yourself a nickname what is it the wolf of Wolfenstein you saw the movie the wolf of Wall Street this is the wolf a wolf and Stein now you took this money and you spend a lot of it on something I personally love you spent a lot of your money on nice suits ideal or business say you've got wear some nice ease you can't be going to a show like this either with no nicey on so yes you know the other alternative what they could be doing the kid goes buy some candy wholesale and sets up shop what makes it incredible is he employs how many people 12 12 people at three other schools thank you thank you and that was the whole point in the program as well because a lot of people that were in that program and they had the potential we had the potential to go down that other path so that's why the whole program young leaders was there to take us away from that that block because you had a past yeah just like this guy that came as it was going down that path I would see and the people in that program they had the potential like I said and that's why the program was set up so a lot of people to find another alternative you know in life what's the most money you made in day work for sweets or Oh for sweets okay cool that's another business but from sweets yeah from sweets just three hundred two hundred yeah from sweets in a day what's most other business okay so that's something to do with them the foreign exchange you learn how to do I learn how to trade or see foreign exchange yeah I've wasted a dream of actually trading and I told my whoa I'm learning Stobart or myself had
