Student Success - Alumni

Pearlescent is a creative content machine founded and run by me, Jack Berg, (Florida State University) and Tory Powers (CU Boulder). Pearlescent has taken our hobby of photography and filmmaking and pushed it into something much more. Over the last year, we have found success by developing our own style, character, and signature behind the lens. Working alongside major companies such as Red Bull and Suzuki, as well as with musicians like The Chainsmokers and Krewella, and athletes including Ricky Carmichael, Justin Barcia, and many others has been unreal.

My name is Sean Zargari; I am a junior at Florida State in the entrepreneurship major. Florida State and the teachers in this program truly make a great atmosphere to learn, grow, and experiment as an entrepreneur. My sophomore year in the program I started my company, KONAleashes. KONAleashes was a company built out of the necessity I had as a college student with a young husky. Huskies are bred to be sled dogs; they have a shocking amount of power and drive to go!

Coming out of sophomore entrepreneurship class of 2018, Indigo Hansen, Jack Shelgren, Will Jones, and Myles Blatt, embarked on a new entrepreneurial venture of creating the biggest brand that Florida State University has ever seen. The company was initially created on the idea of folding skateboards, although we discovered the high barriers to entry in that market and decided to keep the logo and start with apparel. We soon realized that we wanted to make Hooligans more than a brand – a movement, as well.

After traveling the world and moving to new cities, we sat down to try and understand what makes life so good. We came to realize a certain truth: The community of people we arrive with and find in those places are what make those moments and places something to remember. The “Good Commune” we find is what makes life good. We want to spread the love of good community and vibes by creating great designs on the softest shirts. We hope people wear Good Commune Clothing to remember the community they have and to show others the community they’re willing to give.

“I have always had a passion for fitness, knowing the importance and positive influence it had on my body and mind. Working out can be such a pain. So, if you’re tired of driving to the gym just to run on the treadmill alone, taking classes that are honestly just boring, or trying to lift weights and make gains that leave you too sore, you are not alone! After spending a few months in NYC exploring different types of fitness studios, I was inspired to create a unique fitness offering in Tallahassee.”

DivvyUp is the first one-for-one custom sock company. As sophomores in Florida State University’s entrepreneurship program, we took a trip to our local homeless shelter looking for an opportunity to help. Expecting to hear “food” or “shelter”, we were surprised to learn there was a huge need for clean socks. DivvyUp was founded in 2014 to solve this problem sustainably; with every pair of socks purchased, we gift a pair of socks to the homeless community. To date, the community has gifted over 14,000 pairs of socks across the United States.

The craft beer industry has been experiencing tremendous growth within the United States throughout the 21st century, and has become a centerpiece of American culture and individualism. With 4000 plus breweries popping up all across the country in the past decade, there is a craft beer for nearly every unique palate in this great nation! The only problem, it is terribly difficult to find some of your favorite beers if you do not live in the same region as the brewery that creates it. That is where Brew Runners comes in.
