This is Lisa Beebe… Our American stories we tell stories about everything your emotional love your story send them to our American stories.com today we have been Berman stories a second year MBA student at Wharton school, University of Pennsylvania. When the covert pandemics. What this country idea to start making pizza and drop them out of his apartment window.

This led to his nonprofit called good pizza, but is raised over $30,000 and grew up in Portland Maine with his parents and two younger brothers starting from a young age.

Ben was getting involved in his community here is been stored. I was in middle school I was on a school board subcommittee for wellness in the town and one of the jobs that we were tasked with was renovating the cafeteria so I actually spent the freshman year of high school touring local cafeterias to try to understand how we could improve our operations and food service and as part of that program. The administration let me earmark $2500 for a program that I'd come up with, called the Chef of the month program in my idea was that we would ask local chefs to take over our cafeteria for the day once a month and they would serve their food at school lunch price and it worked. So we would have you know a nice hotel from Portland come in and the chef would do paella for the whole school concert for $2.75. There was a local pasta company that came in every year to do the service and the owner came in one day and his manager called out and he asked me if I knew how to cook. If I could help him on the line and I grew up cooking with my mom and really enjoyed that choice of felt confident enough to jump in line with them and just seropositive for the day and yet he said that was really great if you need a job the summer you should call me and that being my first summer job was restocking the shelves and then grilling Pete and then making meals in this little cost prepared good shot in South Parliament.

I went to college in Boston, Tufts University and found myself fairly heavily involved in nonprofit work. Considerable bunch of opportunities that I'd started to get involved with the sort of get back to the community at the same time I was starting my first company when I was 18. I opened up to Chuck company with a high best friends from home called, mainly burgers and we grew that company together for three years and grew to three trucks and 16 employees and was a really good experience to start understand how business operates and how it grows it was getting you back in the kitchen and I really love the opportunity, but I was coming towards me in my college experience.

I didn't like I was ready to make that my full-time career and so I took a more traditional route and went into management consulting for a few years after school.

That job landed me at this in school and when the pandemic started. I had been cooking more.

I started to make pizza and then I started jumping on my window and then I started asking people to donate and now I guess I run a little pizza nonprofit out of my second-story Center City Philadelphia apartment we raised $32,000 so far and donated all to hunger relief and homelessness in the city of Philadelphia. I grew up with this amazing supportive family and didn't have to worry about some the things other people have to worry about, and it felt natural to use that platform to get back.

I think one of the other things that motivated me was, so I think about it in two parts. The first is when I started making pizza and the second is when it becomes this thing where it's raising money, and it stopped at a window except on the pizza front before school and I was working as a consultant. I was traveling the time was doing, usually about 140 nights in a hotel per year.

One of things I missed when I was traveling that much was cooking for myself and for friends that I said I grew up cooking with my mom and that was a really important experience for me. Generally, just recognizing the impact of having people around the table and cooking for people as a display of love in some way. I want to do more that and I had this more traditional kitchen experience from my first job from the food trucks.

I really just enjoy cooking something that relaxes me forward to and coming to school and not having to travel all the time I was looking forward to getting back so I do remember when I first made pizza in my apartment because I've been researching it for little while and I taken a leap and bought some equipment which is the food that I like and it's a fun analytical exercise, to some degree as well because all these different variables of pizza you can play with, and I was excited about that. There is a hydration level adult which is how much water using and there's the fermentation time just how long you're letting it go and what temperature cooking at what you're cooking it on the combination of sausages and all these things all these variables that are interesting to me so I remember making that for the first time and being totally infatuated by the dough rise saying, and then try to figure out how to make it into actual dough balls that we can spread into pizza researching how I wanted to do the sauce and going deep on message boards about my favorite pizza places around the country and people trying to re-create their favorite pizza is fun experience for me so that's part one is I'd started making pizza in the summer of 2019 as a way to cook more as this fun project to work on in this fun thing that I wanted to solve for this food that I liked how assertive it states two of the stories on the pandemic started in the honest reason for competes at the beginning was, I had Medo for my friends. I go over the year had gotten more comfortable and I was enjoying having pizza parties and sharing that and that we can march with the pandemic sort of hit and we didn't know what it was quite yet. We knew that it was a bad idea to have friends over for dinner party I had 15 pizzas in my refrigerator that I was planning to make friends instead of having them over.

I bought 40 feet of string on Amazon and told them that if they came by my apartment around dinnertime. I would lower them pizza outside my window and it was nothing. At the time other than a chance for me to make my friends smile. Give them something to laugh about it just seems absurd that I would be lowering this pizza out of my apartment window and you been listening to Ben Berman story.

When we come back Ben Berman story continues here on our American stores interview of the great American stories we tell and love America like we do, risking you to become a part of the all American stories family agreed that Americans a good and great country.

He asks for a nonrequired donation and is pizzas are completely free return to Ben of the rest of the story so is never thought of this becoming anything it was just this fun thing that you do to make your friends laugh and create some memory and there is no plan beyond. But as I did it over the summer I started to recognize that there may be a platform here that could grow a little bit. I had started to try to figure out where I wanted to direct my own giving for the year which is something that I try to do every year and my girlfriend very smartly pointed out that I was spending a lot of money on pizza ingredients and perhaps this would be an avenue to direct by giving instead which is obviously a fantastic idea and so no midway over the summer. My thinking was one set of giving a few hundred dollars to an organization that I care about. What if I spent that money on pizza ingredients instead ask people for donations, and maybe turn that $200 into $600 or whatever that multiple looks like there were a lot of zeros attached to it. It was just me thinking.

Well, maybe I can both make people smile and raise a few extra dollars for these organizations and would not be a cool way to spend this time where I have to be home anyway. Slowly, people started to hear about it.

Friends tell friends and someone walks down the street and sees this pizza being lowered out of a second-story apartment and I started Instagram last for the actual business opportunity and more because I wanted a place to document my pizza but was too embarrassed to posted on my personal Instagram the big break was when dorsal sports game in November, so they have a very popular pizza review series I had tagged them and opposed mostly as a joke with friends saying how funny would it be if you know they child the best pizza places in the world and then they came to my apartment and they ended up reaching out and said hey are you open on Saturday Faith and I didn't really know what to say since it's just my apartment. I'm never really open nor am I ever really closed so I said sure undoubtedly open on Saturday and I would love to have you come by and they did so I made them pizza and the review went online. The next week. I think it came out well, but that was sort of the first transfer widespread visibility into what I was working on and very quickly. Literally overnight. It went from a few hundred followers to 10,000 followers and all this money started to come in from people just wanted to support what you're doing and adjust assertive Ben a whirlwind and spend a total blast and definitely never something that I expected think the most I've ever made is 25 but a normal pizza drop is 20 pizzas, which I still think is quite a bit for a home oven.

I can only make two at a time because I'm literally cooking in my home electric oven so I make two pizzas every 15 minutes so the way it works is I do weekly, usually on Sunday night pizza drops with 20 pizzas as the following has grown over the last few months I've moved to a lottery system for people to get a pizza so pizzas always always free.

There is absolutely no necessity to donate in order to get a pizza you do not donate to enter the lottery. The pizza is just to make people smile and hopefully people like, or doing and feel inclined to donate either to us or directly to the organizations I give every single penny that comes in a way so all the money that goes into the pizza ingredients. The sauce and cheese the dough.

All of that that money comes out of my own pocket and then we donate 100% of the proceeds of people donate. I open up the lottery by posting on my Instagram two days before the pizza jumps easily on Friday afternoon if I'm baking that weekend. You can find a link to a lottery on Instagram and then 24 hours later, after the lottery opens. I close the lottery, we randomly select 20 people using Microsoft Excel and I email those 20 people a form to select their pickup time and they get to come by. The next night to actually get the pizza so that sort of this whole three-day process for me for every pizza drop where on the first day I make dough on the second day the lottery opens and I start to make sauce than the third day you get all your greeting together and then auction on the fourth day you actually make the pizza I have to fold all the pizza boxes I write little notes. Everyone on all the pizza boxes so it ends up being this sort of lengthy four-day process, but it allows me to make up actual product. The pizza that I'm really proud of. I think that though they make is that I think this also makes good etc. and it is the spacing out so that people can have a chance enter the lottery and select the pickup time and all the backend logistics go into and this is been an unexpected but really fulfilling way to spend my free time. There are definitely days where I am tired and don't want to make pizza toe and don't want to fold pizza boxes and wish that I did not have Instagram follow hers that were expecting pizza. I know I there are days where I wish I didn't have to post on Instagram because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm trying to figure out all of that but I feel like were working on a good thing. I feel like I'm making some at least small impact and the support the people of Lent, the smiles that I think I've been able to bring to people who have tried the pizza or even just seeing what I'm working on Instagram or different press clippings and most important of the dollars that I've been able to donate to organizations that I really do think you're making impact people's lives. I don't really think I'm making impact directly people's lives and keep pizzas delicious. I don't think I'm changing the world. I do think that the organizations that I'm able to support are making a massive massive impact in people's lives in so I can play a small role by carving out some time to make pizza dough in order to support that. That's a no-brainer for me that I may continue doing as long as people are willing to support the one of the things I have been most excited by throughout this whole process has been the support from the community.

I did not expect there to be so much support from everyday people who saw this online and wanted support from local restaurants who have reached out to offer me kitchen space to make more pizza from folks around the world who have donated to us and said I'm not ever going to be able to try a pizza but I love what you're doing and want to support you. Here is $25.

That's incredible to me. There also have been fun opportunities to engage with larger brands that for me have been crazy and fun so I mentioned barstool sports who is here do a pizza review and that gave a lot of gave us a lot of Instagram followers and a platform to raise money on the spindle Philadelphia 76ers came over so Matisse Diebel and Tobias Harris from the 76ers came to my apartment and try pizza and donated $5000 of their own money to the organizations that were supporting their been big brands. But what I've been most energized by is just the everyday people who want to support in some way and who are commenting on Instagram's to say it's wonderful and it made their day and they can't wait to come try pizza and I told people that you know when I get asked about long-term plans. The plan is just to keep making pizza until I make.

If everyone who wants one. I talked about the lottery system last few months for the 20 pizzas I give away weekly.

I usually have over 900 people sign up for the lottery so I'm going to just keep making beats until all those people get on this good pizza project is something that I'm proud of because it was in many ways an accident. It was a chance for me to take a hobby that I enjoyed and get back to the community a little bit and at this point it feels less like something that I created, and more like something that the people around me who have supported it created and I just get to be the vehicle to continue to create those files and raise those dollars and special thanks to Faith for work on the piece and also special thanks to Ben Berman for his story and by the way, for what he's doing when she shows while it shows the good heart and the soul of this country.

I'm 16 years old and I am the CEO and founder of the Valley candy candy is all natural sugar free candy that cleans your team but my entrepreneurial journey didn't start at seven years old is on the candy. I had been coming up with inventions and crazy outlandish ideas for products since I was about three years old around that age to three years old. My dad read me the book Rich dad poor dad interesting experience because as much of the book that I didn't understand the thing that stuck with me was you can help people through business so I began writing all of my inventions and compiling them into my calm idea binder and drawn what I call the business plan but was really more of just a picture with some labels saying grew up. I grew up with this binder and see some of the most prominent inventions from that that time were definitely robot daddies slanted towards a robot that can go to work as your dad and at this time. My dad is a CPA said he is going on in terms of business trips and I really miss having my dad around and I wanted him to stay home and you know we can hang out just among among those there was lots of odds and ends of fun games or a new sport and as much. They were cohesive ideas. They did keep me occupied coming up with but find new business plans and pitching them to my parents so really from Outlook. I learned that I can help my mom I can help my dad and I can help my younger sister, even by coming up with an invention to make their lives easier on a day-to-day basis. As I grew up you know, four, five, six, and then have until seven years old I wanted this binder. It wasn't until one day I went to the bank with my dad in the bank teller offered me a lollipop and it was just the typical action, but my dad always told me he gave me the same speech he gave me every time going to the bank. Candy is bad for your teeth.

You'll get cavities talk to Melina but now if I were you I I'd make a smart choice after pondering it for a moment I decided to hang 11 when I want take a lollipop. But as we are walking back to the car I asked him if I can't have candy and if I can have something that's bad for me. Why can I create something that's good for me but you can't say no to end this idea really stuck with me. I began writing a more extensive business plan I ever had before, and in my idea binder and I decided you know with a little bit of a push in the right direction to to go do some research and just Google on YouTube and so I started watching these videos on YouTube of how they created candy on a mass scale and maybe question you know where other products came from and it really got me interested in the packaged industry as a whole just how things were made in all behind-the-scenes steps that went into creating not just candy but but everything that we see in the grocery store doesn't just magically happen you know it has to come from somewhere and I started researching more about the ingredient list and what actually makes candy bad. What causes cavities tooth decay is actually the single greatest epidemic facing kids in America today and that's according to the US Surgeon General, and so that really prompted me to explore the idea of creating something that's not only good for me. In a sense, for there's no sugar, but something that's actually good for your teeth, something that could help combat this, the pieces just kind of clicked reading that book at three years old, having it read to me for that matter and coming up with this idea and connecting the pieces of a great idea helping people having a cause mission and so when those pieces clicked into place. I knew that this is my time.

This is the time to create and putting the time putting the energy put in the work and get people excited about this idea. Get people passionate about Sally candy for what was to be bizarrely candy so it was definitely a turning point for me getting my parents involved saying hey will you support me. We support this mission and doing kind of the first of many big business pitches to my parents to have them help support me through this journey started looking at different manufacturing facilities or what we call plan, we began taking tours of these manufacturing facilities around the country seeking who could really make a sugar-free candy that cleans your teeth and one of my first manufacturing facility tours. We got to the end and my dad said Haley Nessa. So what do you think this is pretty cool and I was thinking this is great, but where's the plan is like a lien on the ground that this is the understand the plan. I mean, I'm looking around I see is people machinery candy plants. I think in that moment, he reminded himself as mature as smart as my daughter could be about two years of taste test and trials and during that time. Our only taste testers really were my friends and I and I would like to say my friend didn't sugarcoat it. If something's that they were to tell me that exact and eventually we came up with six great tasting flavors of lollipops and what we found throughout NH funded studies is that all on its own, which is an all natural plant-based sweetener from the US actually raises the pH in your mouth neutralizes the asset it takes away bacteria that causes cavities and tooth decay.

Bacteria is fed by an acid is really in every food that we even bottled water has asked that the coffee after Demetri because you can still enjoy the chocolate cake in your orange juice but lollipop after three mineralized your tooth enamel. Once we started finalizing the process of of Sally candy. We started having the conversations around our house about what were going to do now. I have been a dancer since the age of three. Also, tennis player, so I've always had a busy schedule. Even without Sally candy. So really we began having those conversations about how we would run the business on a day-to-day basis. We are a family-owned company and we really made the decision, and my parents took that leap with me, especially my dad quitting his job to work full-time. Sally, as the business manager day-to-day really looked like me going to school and then going back to our office and working with my dad in the team to help grow and develop.

Sally and you been listening bizarrely candy's CEO Alina Morse and I happen to be holding an orange. Bizarrely, lollipop in my hand as we speak and what a story it is her dad read the book Rich dad poor dad when she was two or three way to go. Dad by the way, what a great book to read any kid is not about wealth, the way you're thinking about when you read the book wealth is freedom and wealth could be spiritual for kinds of wealth, but also his money and what business does, and that you can help people through business best thing about capitalism folks free enterprise and businesses serve the local restaurant serves a car dealer serves so on so forth.

I happen to be holding my hand is always taffy. We last left off.

She'd been searching for a candy sugar-free one good to pick up we last left off to alter my schooling and I've always had very supportive teachers who have understood that I'm not leaving school to go on vacation leaving school to learn. I feel like in my opinion, at least that real world experiences even worth more than algebra. The first retailer we actually got into was whole foods markets so we luckily got a meeting and we were able to tie down Southern California so nervous I've been practicing all week for the big pitch and when I walked in the door. I remember the look on the buyers face was just kind of puzzled of why kid here and that I was very patient with me.

I do know that that they could tell I was nervous but also excited making some great advice. They said okay well let you know a couple months if you get in and one day we just got an email that we had gotten and that was our first PO was our first big sale and it was really exciting.

Realizing and getting to celebrate all of our hard work coming to a head, and it was the first of many of many gases that we've gotten from buyers. But you know there's also been a lot of nose but you gotta take the good with the bad with business, so it wasn't until late 2019 that we actually got into every whole foods around the country, which is very very exciting and it was a very full circle moment meet recently actually went back and visited one of the first, whole foods that we had ever gotten into which happen to be in California and begun in and there was a whole wall and Fill bizarrely candy. Just seeing things like that make it all the more real to us, rather than just seeing numbers on a piece of paper or how many units per store per week or volume or margins. No seeing people with bizarrely candy in their shopping carts and it was very exciting really fortunate to you receive a lot of earned media and a lot of great opportunities. Being a small family-owned company from Michigan but like any business we faced tremendous setbacks. Luckily enough, though one of our major setbacks happen very early on so after we got the whole foods in our second big account with Amazon.com and enough you know anything about Amazon you got a ship worldwide nationwide and very timely manner.

So once we launch on Amazon.com. People were super excited about Sally and began purchasing it very quickly. Unfortunately, when it was delivered to their homes specifically and more hot desert.

He dry climates all the bags of lollipops were melted and we learned later on that this had to do with the way that the candy was being made.

The temperature in which the candy was being made that first we were devastated to see our our Amazon ratings drop in a matter of days and we went from five stars to like two stars because everyone was receiving melted candy and so being that the pumps would become hygroscopic, which means that they would suck up the moisture from the air and we realized at that moment that this is why people had never succeeded in making sugar-free candy is good for your teeth because sugar-free candy tends to be high for scopic and nobody could figure out or you know, maybe they had given up too soon to figure out that you had to create the candy in a very specific condition in order to maintain its integrity. Once we figured out we could begin to start either creating it in a higher temperature or a lower temperature and eventually we actually did figure it out and then we began the process of apologizing and sending out fresh batches of Sally to everyone who ordered and for time we did begin to regain some of our ratings for a long time even though we have fixed the candy. Our ratings were really low and I don't know about you but whenever I'm purchasing something specifically on Amazon. I checked the ratings first. You know it's important to see what other users are thinking about the product for an order and so was it was a very important learning experience. Eventually, we came out with a really fantastic product that was stronger than ever and even though phones and electronics can't get shipped in vessels to China, Korea, in the heat of summer. Sally candy can. It's basically bulletproof.

You cannot melt this candy so you know were better off for it for sure yet how is it was definitely a tricky roadblock. So in our five years of selling. We have grown tremendously.

We have a 300% growth rate, year-over-year, and we really have found a niche community of people. Whether you're diabetic, whether you have food allergies whether you know your aikido diet.

Those are the people that that we've been able to impact with our product and we also started a nonprofit alongside Sally candy will be give reasonably candy to schools across America to teach kids about the importance of oral healthcare and entrepreneurship is called the million smiles initiatives of teachers and principals can sign up on our website Sally candy.com to get free Sally candy for their entire school which is just another way that I tried to to carry through with our initial mission of keeping kids, smiling and helping reduce child tooth decay to date were in about 2400 retailers in the US were in CVS write a whole foods markets Amazon.com. We recently got into Costco in Southern California that New Mexico, Colorado, were also available on Walmart.com target.com and Kroger's and you know we've continued to grow, our presence internationally as well. In China, Korea, France, the Philippines, Morocco's with about 12 other countries including the US, we have been able to share Sally candy across the world and we still are looking for new ways to expand in new ways to grow but one of those ways has been through expanding our product line so we don't just have Sally pops anymore. We have Zaki taffy, which is the clean teeth taffy. We have Sally caramels we have. Sally drops we have Sally people are cops which were a newer invention that were so excited about and I snacked on them all day long delicious. All of our products still have the same rate. Keep cleaning and allergen friendly. Other than the people have better obviously. But we are still in very transparent clean company in terms of ingredients and the teeth cleaning aspect as well as being allergen friendly and diabetic friendly in Quito. So all those amazing products. As you can check them out on our website Sally candy.com or shop them at Sally candy.my shop if I.com and if you're interested in learning more about my story. You can check me out Helena*Morse on Instagram or as Ali candy on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or twitter suite.

We want to continue to grow. Sally and increase distribution nationally and internationally as well as you know continue to be a beacon for other young girls and kids who are interested in business and and share with them that entrepreneurship is a real career and real opportunity and you don't have to have a lot of money and you don't have to have a lot of business experience certainly not a degree to start your very own company and become an entrepreneur.

We want to continue to share that message. Especially dry nonprofit. But as for me, you know college is coming up soon and those decisions are really key but I think wherever I choose to go. I'd like to study business and hopefully get to dance or play tennis or you know still enjoy the things that I have loved growing up and look for other opportunities to help people look for other niche communities that you know could benefit from a functional product and whether it Sally or whether it's something else I create down the line.

Helping people is really the most important thing to me that a great job as always by Greg Hagler.

A special thanks to Zoellick CEO Helena Morrison. We love telling stories about entrepreneurship and small business owners.

My goodness, what you said is so powerful. Real world experience is better than algebra college right now which is right in worship is a real career. You don't need money. You certainly don't need a degree and she is living proof for first orders, whole foods and Amazon and then she experiences the setback every entrepreneur doesn't screw up, they bounce back.

They fight back and learn from it and she did which makes her entrepreneur. The story of taking care the Queen CEO Helena Morris here on our American stores.
