The Unicorn in the Room is a new online community “that supports anyone doing anything awesome – whether that’s creating a project, starting a business, or climbing the corporate ladder … We hate the notion that people must change their qualities (or eccentricities!) to succeed in their career. We believe that using your personal magic is the key to success and we dedicate our content to helping our readers get where they want to go.”

Since this site was new to me, I spent some time exploring the content … and then more time and more time. These folks are delivering a great mix of fresh content. Check themThe-Unicorn-in-the-room out!


What does this have to do with Lichty Guitars? Well, Jay Lichty just happens to have been featured in a recent article about 45 entrepreneurs rock’n it who are over 45. The article spotlights each entrepreneur and answers the questions “Why did they make the list?”

  • Disclaimer – While, with our success, we’d love to be making the kind of money this article indicates, that portion of the piece is inaccurate 🙂

Here is the article intro:

The 45 Over 45: Entrepreneurs Over Age 45 Who Are Disrupting the Way We Do Business

“You’ve heard of Forbes’ 30 Under 30, but what about the movers and shakers who are still rocking it in their careers after 45? Today, we’ll look at some of the top entrepreneurs from a variety of industries, and celebrate the amazing work they’re doing to change the world.

Quick Stats About This List:

  • We spent 100+ hours researching the best candidates.
  • Over 1000 candidates were considered.
  • Less than 5% of all candidates were accepted.”

In answering the question “Why did Jay Lichty make the list?” here is what they had to say:

“North Carolina native Jay Lichty is living proof that it’s never too late to start your own business. A dream about a small guitar inspired him to craft his own custom ukulele. In 2009, he launched Lichty Guitars and now makes guitars and ukuleles for customers all over the world.”

We invite you to check out the whole article: The 45 Over 45: Entrepreneurs Over Age 45 Who Are Disrupting the Way We Do Business. It is fascinating read full of inspiration!
