The internet has unlocked new pathways to success that previous generations never could have imagined. Ten years ago, teen entrepreneurship was limited to babysitting and summer lawn mowing businesses. Now, Gen Z teens have the chance to create meaningful digital content – with the potential to kickstart lifelong careers. 

Jack Spiritas, known online as FoodGuyJack, is one of those ambitious teens – at just 14 years old, he’s quickly become one of his generation’s most successful entrepreneurs, bloggers, and influencers. In under two years, he’s earned over 100,000 followers and landed coveted partnerships with leading companies like Sprinkles Cupcakes, Pei Wei, and Raising Cane’s. 

“It doesn’t matter how old you are – if you love something enough, you can work hard, buckle down, and become an expert in the space,” said Spiritas. “I love being a teen in the food industry, and I’ve built a following off of being young, approachable, and simply excited about eating mouth-watering food.”

Spiritas is based out of Dallas, Texas. His dad, a restaurant marketer himself, has been one of his biggest inspirations growing up. And now, he’s showing young fans how to appreciate amazing food. 

Unlike other hopeful influencers in the space, FoodGuyJack remains grounded with down-to-earth content. Each video is casual, yet presented with an air of professionalism and respect for the restaurants he visits. 

Jack Spiritas is not only an inspiration to his fellow Gen Zers but also to other aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to create a name for themselves in the digital world. Spiritas has shown that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing one’s passion and creating a successful career. As social media continues to expand, young people like Spiritas have the opportunity to showcase their unique talents and reach a wider audience. His approach to food reviews is refreshing, as he maintains a respectful and professional attitude while also remaining relatable to his young audience. 

In the future, FoodGuyJack hopes to expand his reviews to restaurants around the globe and earn a slot as a professional food critic. With his continued success, FoodGuyJack is an exciting talent to watch as he works towards achieving his dream of becoming a professional food critic.
