About me

My name is Carter York, 13-year-old founder of Icy Blast Water! Naturally alkaline spring water with a mission to inspire and teach young entrepreneurs. This is a picture of 7-year-old me, all the way back when I started my very first business, which was... I'm not telling you! Just kidding, it was selling art. For some context, this picture was taken right after my first day of selling. I sold all 14 pieces and made $200 in just 1 hour (you can learn more in my ebook below) This success gave me the confidence to start Icy Blast Water. For the first 3 years, I proudly donated 15% of the proceeds to Saint Jude Research Hospital. From 2021 at 9 years old to now, I have been growing Icy Blast Water to be the best it can be while continuing my mission to inspire and teach young entrepreneurs!
