M: Today we have a guest speaker, K-K Gregory. She's a successful business owner, and she's only 17. Her company makes Wristies.
W: Thank you, Professor Ray—Hi,... umm—I'm really excited to be here. Actually, I started my company when I was ten. Really! —it's true! These are Wristies. See they're long gloves with no fingers. They keep your wrists warm and dry, but your fingers can move easily. So, you can wear them outside, for sports or... um work. But you can also wear them inside, in a cold house or office.
M: Ah, K-K, tell us how you got the idea for Wristies.
W: Well, it was winter, and there was a lot of snow, and I was playing in it. I was wearing a jacket and gloves, but my wrists were really cold! That's why I got the idea. I just thought of it. So I went home and first, I looked for some warm material. Then I put it around each arm. And then I made a little hole for my thumb. And that's how I made the first pair of Wristies.
M: Great! So, how did you decide to start a business?
W: Well, at first, I didn't think about starting a business at all. I just made Wristies for my friends, in different colors, and they all loved them. It was really great! Then they said, "you know, you can sell these things!" And my mother helped me to start my company.
M: Did she have any business experience?
W: No! My mother didn't know anything about business, and I didn't either. But we talked to a lot of people and asked a lot of questions, and you know, we learned a lot! And we had fun.
M: Where can you buy Wristies?
W: In stores. You can buy them in a lot of stores, and there's also a website. Once I went on a TV shopping show, and I sold a thousand pairs of Wristies in one hour! I couldn't believe it.
M: Do you have any advice for young people?
W: Well, umm.., listen to your friends. And be creative. And don't be afraid to do something new.
