Developingeyes’ Entrepreneur of the week: Brian Taylor

Good day readers, I must first apologize for my absence, I had to go away on business for my 9 to 5 job and I did not prepare adequately by writing posts in advance :s. But let’s get back to business.
It’s another Monday and we will begin our week with a motivational article about a young entrepreneur doing what we all hope to accomplish someday to some degree.

Today’s entrepreneur of the week is Brian Taylor of Kernel Season’s. Kernel Season’s began out of the dorm room of this 29 year old. The company makes seasonings for popcorn ranging from white cheddar to marshmallow chocolate. Imagine marshmallow chocolate popcorn, sounds good to me :-).

Brian says he made popcorn every night and created his own personal spice blends to add to it, his friends loved it and people came knocking on his dorm room door asking for the special seasonings.
Brian hired a team of flavour specialists to help perfect his seasonings and now has his seasonings in a reported 70% of groceries and movie theatres in the U.S.

This is some pretty good stuff here. Making money from something as simple as popcorn seasoning. You can read more about Brian Taylor and Kernel Seasonings here and maybe even try out some of his seasonings for yourself. Oh and his company reportedly made $5 million in sales in 2006!

Well that’s it. If you enjoyed the post please subscribe to my rss feed.
