Where Small Ideas Become Something Greater

It’s how Steve Jobs started by tinkering in a garage before building Apple. It’s how Elon Musk went from selling code as a teenager to creating companies that shifted transportation, energy, and even space exploration. It’s how Sara Blakely turned $5,000 and one idea into Spanx, a billion-dollar company, proof that you don’t need permission, just persistence. It’s how Oprah Winfrey, once a young local news anchor with every odd stacked against her, became a cultural force who brought thinkers, creators, and innovators together to reshape media itself.
People like them didn’t succeed because they were born into power; they succeeded because they believed in the possibility of more. They took small beginnings and turned them into revolutions. They surrounded themselves with brilliant minds, collaborative spirits, and people who weren’t afraid to dream beyond the ordinary. And that’s exactly where I see my generation standing right now. We’re the ones growing up in a world that desperately needs new ideas, new leaders, and new creators who aren’t afraid to rethink everything, from skincare to health, to science, to technology, to the future of humanity itself.
Mendano™ is my first step into that future. What started as a bar of natural soap quickly became a symbol of something deeper: the belief that innovation doesn’t always begin loud or flashy. Sometimes it begins with a single person, a simple formula, and the determination to do better. Every bar of soap I make is created through science, intention, and the dream of building something far beyond skincare. My goal isn’t just to improve the products people put on their skin, it’s to inspire others my age to push their own limits, to chase their ideas, and to bring their minds together. I believe that when today’s creators collaborate the way the giants of the past once did, our generation won’t just participate in the future, we’ll reinvent it. Mendano™ is only the beginning of that path, the first brick in a much larger foundation. What comes next will be shaped by imagination, by science, and by the courage to build something greater than anyone expected.
