Character: Elon Musk. 

Conflict: oils are finite resource and have negative affect on our planet 

Resolution: Electric cars and renewable energy. 




Little Elon Musk loved reading comics, and he read a lot. Apart from adventures, superheroes, and interesting stories, he saw the future in comics. These stories, especially in the science fiction genre, often emphasized the importance of thinking long-term, which became a crucial motivator for his future endeavors. As he grew older, Elon realized that the world's reliance on oil was one of its most pressing issues. He saw it as 'the most foolish experiment of mankind.' Oil is not only finite but also harmful to our environment, slowly destroying our planet.

Determined to find a cleaner, sustainable solution, Elon turned to electricity as the energy source of the future. This vision led him to create Tesla, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the automobile industry with electric cars. Through innovative technology and relentless pursuit of his goal, Tesla has become a beacon of hope in the fight against climate change.

Today, thanks to Tesla, we have 20 million tons less CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, which is equivalent to planting a billion trees. Tesla is not just a car company; it's a movement towards a sustainable future. By driving a Tesla, each of us has the opportunity to contribute to a healthier planet and be part of this monumental change.

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

  • Who is the brand? - Piggyvest
  • Who is their audience? - Youth trying to save to accomplish a goal.
  • What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? - They are helping their audience overcome spending habits and saving into bits till they reach the goal. I.e saving a house rent of N1,000,000 per year feels hard, but if you save N84,000 per month. It becomes easier to save for the house rent and have a roof over their heads. 
  • How are they doing it? - By creating a piggy type of bank, creating a target goal %, and encouraging you by putting a % reward for when you reach the goal. They also place a penalty fee for when you break it.
