Zolli Candy — Alina Morse– Candy without cavities!
Alina Morse is a young entrepreneur who always loved candy. When she was 7 she always went to the bank and had lollipops. However, her parents always told her candy was bad for teeth. That made her feel guilt every time she ate candy. She then came up with an idea of candy that can be good for teeth! She called it Zollipops after her younger sister helped her come up with the name when she was trying to pronounce the tooth friendly sweeteners.
When she was 9 she launched the company and started selling the lollipops that used stevia instead of sugar! At the age of 21 her net worth is now 6 million and sells all kinds of sugar free candy! She shows that when you feel bad about something, you can invent stuff to stop it for yourself and everyone else who has the same issue!

This is such a cool story! Starting your own successful business at 9 is something I have not heard of before and I am super impressed. This really inspires me because it shows you can do anything at any age if you set your mind to it.
This is an awesome story. I like how, instead if accepting the fact that candy is bad for you, she changed the narrative and made a healthy alternative. This is a great example of addressing a common problem and solving it with a new perspective.
