Manage episode 395661228 series 3425176
Kenny Lee is the Founder & CEO of the ultra successful Lego lighting brand, Light My Bricks. Kenny started the company in 2016 after rediscovering his love for Lego. After spending thousands dollars on his new hobby he wanted a way to tell his Wife that he wasn't just wasting time and money and that in fact, this could go somewhere (at the very worst at least he could use it as a tax right off for next new hobby).
Today, Light My Bricks boasts the largest range of lighting kits, lighting components and effects. They are the market leader in Lego lighting, offering a wide variety of LEGO lighting options to suit the needs of all their customers.
On top of running the business, Kenny recently set himself a challenge of gaining 10,000 followers within within 100 days which he literally hit on his 100th day and he has now smashed sitting at over 16,000 just one month later!
