This is one of my favorite entrepreneurs of all time. His name is Johnny Earle, founder and CEO of Johnny Cupcakes. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "Does this guy sell baked goods for a living?" and the answer is no, he is in the retail industry. He started his own t-shirt line in 2001 when he wore a t-shirt to work that was meant for an inside joke. This "joke" soon turned into a clothing company that has revolutionized marketing strategies and product/store design to date. He is the prime story of a kid who used what he had at his disposal and made it big!
Here are some pictures of his most popular shirt and what his stores look like: It is the black and white cross and bones with the cupcake on top. Johnny's company will sell out of this shirt in every store everyday!
