If their early life is any indication, the Monslave brothers appear destined run Fortune 500 companies one day. At 10 and 12 years old, they certainly have the drive.
Sebastian, 12, and Esteban, 10, read a book called, Tyler and His Solve-a-Matic Machine, a fictional adventure of a kid who became an entrepreneur.
After reading the book, Sebastian and Esteban decided to do something about something they considered a problem in their home.
"Lots of times when my parents would get home from work, we'd be stressed at home," Sebastian explains.
So the boys came up with a way to calm things down.
"It's called Chill Out Treasure Kit," shares Esteban.
"It's a treasure box with a scroll, yearly calendar, little bracelet and some magnets that you can hang up on your refrigerator," describes Esteban.
The magnets are mood indicators.
"Green stands for it's completely calm. Your house is not stressed out and, yellow means it's about to get there, so you better got to watch out," Estaban describes.
Adds his Sebastian, "Red would be like, you need to have a family meeting with all your relatives and talk about what is the problem."
In Tyler and His Solve-a-matic Machine, Tyler creates an idea to help him do his homework.
Author Jennifer Bouani says young readers solve riddles similar to problems encountered in the real world
"Some parrots try to steal his plans, so where does he go? He has to figure out what a patent is and talk to a monkey who's a lawyer, explains Bouani.
The books continue to inspire the Monsalve brothers. They have created a website to sell their chill-out products.
