We all love candy, there is no denying that, but one thing we could live without is the cavities that candy brings. Alina Morse saw this problem and faced it head-on. About 30 miles away from Detriot lies Morse’s company headquarters. The multi-million dollar company is called Zolli Candy. The sugar-free candy is sold online and in 7,500 stores.  Young Morse is working on other types of sugar-free candy as well. Zollipops, her main type of candy, can be found in multiple well-known chains such as Target, Krogers, and Whole Foods. Morse’s ability to solve this very common problem has made her a wildly successful young entrepreneur.

Ryan’s World

Christmas and birthdays can be a very stressful time of year for parents. Trying to get something that their kids will like can be a challenge. Ryan Kaji and his parents saw this problem and created Ryan’s World to help those parents. Ryan’s World is a YouTube channel, started back in 2015, devoted to testing out toys to see if children will like them. The tester is Ryan Kaji, a nine-year-old now millionaire. While Kaji is the main star of the YouTube channel, alongside him are his mother, father, and twin sisters. Ryan’s World consists of over 27 million subscribers and his videos have generated over 43 billion views. Ryan’s world is in the top 100 most subscribed YouTube channels in the United States. Furthermore, Kaji was named the highest-paid YouTube star in 2018 and 2019.

The Kaji family is one that holds great entrepreneurs. They saw a problem: parents not knowing what toys to get for their kids, and they created a great solution. The solution they created, making a YouTube channel where Ryan tries out different toys, was innovative and profitable. Moreover, the creative skills that young Kaji has and is still developing will benefit him greatly in life. His story is only going to get more interesting and is definitely one to stay up to date on in the future.

New Kids on the Block: Wise Pocket Products

At age 11, Sofia Overton started her company Wise Pocket Products because she wanted to help children who are active as well as those who are in need. She realized there was a lack of pocket space when she saw her cousin put her phone in her sock. After trying this for herself, she spotted the inefficiency of this method and wanted to fix this problem. She decided to make socks with pockets in them. After finding success with this product, she has decided to expand her business to sell leggings as well.

Overton, recognizing there are millions of children in need, wanted the core of her business’ mission to help children. For every pair of socks sold by Wise Pocket Products, a pair is donated to children in need. “Wise Pocket Products believes that if you make sure a child has warm feet they will always have a warm heart knowing that their community cares for them.” (Overton)

Overton saw the problems of lack of pocket space and also children who were in need. She fixed both of these issues with one solution. Overton is not only making a profit but is also giving people an opportunity to make a difference in their communities. For these reasons, it is clear to see her entrepreneurial gifts.

Me & the Bees Lemonade

No one likes being stung by a bee – all you are left with is a painful red bump on your arm. Mikaila Ulmer’s bee sting left her with the inspiration to start a business. She came up with the idea to sell lemonade (her great grandmother’s recipe) and to donate part of the profits to help save the honeybees. At the age of 4, Ulmer entered the Action Children’s Business Fair where she pitched her idea. With help from her family, her business has grown by 500%. Ulmer now at age 15, sells her Me & the Bees Lemonade at a variety of major retailers and has even appeared on the show Shark Tank. The fact that Ulmer was 4 years old when became the founder of her own business that has grown so substantially shows her entrepreneurial gifts.
