Ep. 047 Everyday Is Lemonade Day w/ Carson Hamilton
https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0047_hamilton
Carson Hamilton is making lemonade out of lemons. No really. I’m not being metaphorical here. He is LITERALLY making lemonade out of lemons. As a six year old, he was making fresh manually squeezed thirst-quenching lemonade.
And his lemonade business wasn’t even his first stab at entrepreneurship. At an even younger age, Carson and his brother took the styrofoam packing material from their new refrigerator. They cut it up. Taped pieces together. And went around the neighborhood to sell it as modern art!
Carson first heard of TEDx when he was serving lemonade while the founder of https://lemonadeday.org (Ya. It’s kind of a big deal!) gave his TEDx talk.
The universe is awesome isn’t it. And it’s benevolent too as the person serving lemonade at a TEDx event will be giving his own talk in Ocala.
He has an enthusiastic demeanor - one that you may find with anyone his age. But don’t let his youthful energy fool you.
There’s something about Carson. It’s not childlike wonderment. Or is it Pollyanna-esque daydreams. If I had to put a finger on it, it’s the unwavering belief that he has in himself to do whatever he wants. And that kind of sovereignty and trust is something people three times his age would wish for.
So when he says he aspires to be a sports commentator, I believe in his conviction.
What is truly amazing is that before the pandemic Carson was giving workshops to second to sixth graders on how to create their business, and he’s starting them off by teaching them how to successfully run a lemonade stand. So if Carson’s dream that every kid gets entrepreneurial experience out of the classroom, pretty soon EVERYDAY WILL BE LEMONADE DAY!
