#34 Even if Mom and Dad are Ex-Cops, You Can Still Wind up in Prison - Jacob Hill, Offploy

Being an entrepreneur at a very early age, Jacob Hill had a great idea, the Lazy Camper. Wouldn't people going to a rock concert want to have a backpack full of everything they need to camp out and enjoy the concert? Seemed like a great idea to Jacob and his investor. But it didn't work out, Jacob wound up in debt and in desperation started selling drugs at those same concerts, which landed him in prison, and was a real embarrassment to his ex-police officer parents. There he found a better outlet for his entrepreneurial bent and realized another valuable resource - inmates hungry for a legitimate career after release. So he became a match maker for companies who wanted motivated future employees and inmates who wanted training while incarcerated and Offploy was born.
