At the young age of 7 years old, Alina Morse came up with a brilliant business idea to create lollipops that are not bad for one’s teeth. She called them Zollipops. With the help of her father, they replaced sugar with natural sweeteners. These would not leave as much plaque and oral bacteria as straight sugar does. Whole Foods started to sell her product and when she broadened her market to taffy and hard candy, they sold those too. Her candy is sold in 7,500 stores and has raised over $5 million dollars this year. It is headquartered in a Detroit in a little warehouse.  Her mother helps her as the stylist and schedule organizer, while her father steps in as manager. Zollipops now has a team of 6 full-time employees. Alina, who is now 13 years old, is learning to deal with the business world, but continues to not want this to make her stand out from her friends and continue on with just being a kid.  She’s an example of a successful CEO learning the work/life balance!
