Find Solutions to Problems

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Darin Milman, Founder of My Protect Kit, located in Port Washington, NY, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

My Protect Kit is the leading brand for personal care products! A team of entrepreneurs, designers, suppliers, and more, realized that the world needed a solution for the travel, hospitality, and general consumer product goods (CPG) industry. With more than 25 years of business experience, our team wanted to fit as much protection as possible in the slightest, most convenient, resealable pouch.

My Protect Kit is a market disruptor because a consumer can now purchase one kit with many protective items at a very affordable price while he/she is on the go. Nothing like My Protect Kit currently exists on the market today. It solves the consumer's problem of purchasing each item – usually more costly, larger, bulkier, and not as easy to pack.

The consumer can buy My Protect Kit – an easy, all-in-one, on-the-go solution. My Protect Kit is a global company that proudly packages its products in the USA! We currently sell our products in QuikTrip, on Amazon, and online. We are launching our newest three kits this December 2022. If you're going on a trip, take My Protect Kit!

Tell us about yourself

I am the Founder and CEO of My Protect Kit, LLC, and have worked with countless startup companies and helped facilitate their unprecedented growth. I am passionate about the entrepreneurial spirit and the innovations it brings. My passion is to build brands and find solutions to problems. My Protect Kit began during the beginning of the pandemic.

My partner Doron Katz and I teamed together to create a product that is small enough to fit in your hand, pocket, purse, backpack, glove compartment, etc., and still hold as many protective items in it as possible. The idea was to create the most conveniently packaged personal care kit while you're on the go. The company began producing the smallest and most convenient PPE kits and has now created gear for every situation.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My greatest accomplishment thus far as a business owner is never giving up. Even when things seem impossible, I continue to push forward. No matter how many incredibly challenging obstacles I encounter, I always find a way around them.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things about being a business owner is the weight of responsibility that you must carry. There is nobody to blame but yourself when things aren't going right.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Find what you are genuinely passionate about and turn it into a business.
Stay rigid in your vision but highly flexible in how you will get there.
Align yourself with excellent partners.
