05 / Meet the boss
Zak is 10.
He runs this.
Zak's Hats is a real business run by a real kid, with family helping out. Zak chooses the patches, tests every hat on his own head, and signs off on each order before it goes out.
It's also how Zak is learning what a real business takes: talking with customers, keeping track of stock, pricing his hats and saving what he earns. Every order is part of that lesson.
The idea is simple. A hat you designed yourself means more than one off a rack. Zak wants everyone to leave with something nobody else has, and a bit more confident wearing it.
