From $100K Debt to $360M Candy Queen 🍭: 26-Year-Old's Bold Journey 🚀 | Told by Shelby Church 🎬
Embark on an incredible journey with a 26-year-old visionary who began with nothing more than a gummy bear mold from Amazon and a dream to shake up the candy industry. 🌟 This tale unfolds with her initial struggles in her kitchen, where she devoted four months to crafting "Stevi-Sweets," the first iteration of a low-sugar gummy bear, igniting a movement towards healthier candy alternatives. 🍬🔬
The road to innovation was steep. With a breakthrough recipe but zero assets, she needed $100,000 to kickstart production. Demonstrating true entrepreneurial grit, she risked it all, leveraging her 2009 Honda Fit and taking out life insurance to secure the funds. This bold gamble laid the foundation for a candy empire now valued at $360 million. 🚗💼
Yet, this story transcends business success; it's about defying the odds, fervent belief in an idea, and unyielding resilience. It serves to inspire us all to embrace risk, start small, and remember that monumental achievements often have humble beginnings. Ready for a tale of determination that might just change how you view candy - and courage? 🌈🚀

i got a gummy bear mold off of amazon and the ingredients from just a local grocery store at that point and then began recipe testing in my kitchen the first iteration of smart sweets was a low sugar gummy bear that she called stevie sweet me about four months like hunkering down to get from something that was just scratch ingredients to actually something that was like wow this makes me feel confident that this idea is possible about kicking sugar out of candy with recipe in hand she was ready to take it to the factory but there was one problem she needed about a hundred thousand dollars to get the first batch made
