A precocious Memphis sixth-grader named Moziah Bridges has decided to bring the classic and cool bowtie back, a gesture that has gotten attention from Steve Harvey, Forbes, British GQ, and even Oprah. You may have seen Mo's Bows on ABC's hit show 'Shark Tank' as Moziah recently unveiled his handcrafted bows before the show's panel of five investors. He received one offer from businessman Kevin O'Leary for $50,000 in exchange for $3 for every tie sold. But standing in the way was shark Daymond John, founder of the $6 billion dollar FUBU fashion line, who advised Moziah not to take the money and instead offered a valuable mentorship. Not a bad partnership to have for the blooming entrepreneur.

"I started this business when I was 9 years old, when I was in the fourth grade,” he says. Now his business has expanded to include over 20 different bowtie styles, and wholesale orders from over 10 luxury menswear stores.
