Pt 1017

The 13-year-old CEO who invented a cure for hiccups.

Plenty of 13-year-olds want to become doctors when they grow up. Mallory Kievman is one of them, but she already has a pretty impressive extracurricular achievement to bolster her med school application: Mallory is CEO and founder of a company that might just cure one of the world’s oldest and most annoying maladies, the hiccups.

She has a patent pending, financial backers, and a team of business consultants (in training).
