Cynthia Tice started Lily's Sweets at the age of 60 and sold it to Hersey's 11 years later for $400 Million. Wow! Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So, here's one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast. I'm Dave Young, that guy next to me is Stephen Semple, and we're talking about empires. We're talking about businesses that started with nothing and grew to be huge, as we say. And today, Stephen whispered in my ear the topic and I've never heard of it. No idea. Stephen Semple: Yay, finally stumped. It doesn't stump Dave very often. Dave Young: Thanks for listening to The Empire Builders Podcast. That's all we've got for you today. Oh, no, wait. Stephen Semple: Because clearly if Dave- Dave Young: Oh, wait. Stephen Semple: Because clearly if Dave's not heard about it, it's not interesting. Dave Young: Wait a minute. I forgot to have you tell me about them, so go ahead. Go ahead with your little story there, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Yeah, so it's a company called Lily's Sweets. Now, they're a chocolate company and they make sugar-free chocolate. And I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of them, but here's the reason why I think they're worth talking about, is 11 years after the business started by Cynthia Tice, it was sold to Hershey's for $400 million. Dave Young: That's a nice little getaway. Stephen Semple: Yeah, that's worth talking about. Don't you think? Dave Young: So it's owned by Hershey's now. Stephen Semple: It's owned by Hershey's now. Dave Young: Do they still operate under the name Lily's Sweets or is it all just a- Stephen Semple: Yes, they do. Dave Young: ... Hershey's conglomerated candy corporation. Stephen Semple: The bar is called Lily's Sweets, so you can still get Lily's Sweets bars. They're made by Hershey's. And as I said, Cynthia sold it to the company after 11 years for- Dave Young: 11 years? Stephen Semple: ... $400 million. Yes. Dave Young: That's brilliant. Stephen Semple: Now, here's the other thing is she started the company at the fine young age of 60. Dave Young: I love this story. Stephen Semple: Right? Now you understand why I wanted to share this story. Dave Young: There may yet be hope. Stephen Semple: And so they do these sugar-free chocolates, and the goal for her was always to make a good, enjoyable chocolate product. Because we go back to early days of the sugar-free products, they were marketed to people who are diabetic and who are trying to lose weight, and they really didn't taste good. But the anti-sugar movement triggered something that was bigger because people started to discover that sugar's tied in inflammation, and there's been this explosion in these products. To give you an idea, in 2024, the no-sugar chocolate area as a category doubled. That's how much the growth is. Dave Young: 2004? Stephen Semple: 2024. So still even today- Dave Young: 2024. Doubled in '24? Stephen Semple: Still even today, yes, the growth is really rapid. But this is what Cynthia saw, so let's go back to 2008 in Philadelphia. Cynthia Tice is a food consultant and a graduate of Temple University. And Temple University is actually a big presence in Philadelphia. I had a chance to speak at Temple and it's in downtown Philly, and downtown Philly's pretty neat. And look, if you're ever in Philadelphia, you have to go do the Rocky statue, right? Dave Young:

On October 8, 2025, the Alliance of Indigenous Nations (A.I.N.) issued a world's 1st Declaration and Ruling as an Internationally Recognized Tribunal declaring all mRNA COVID-19 vaccines biological and technological gene-editing weapons of mass destruction purposefully designed to eradicate all of humanity from earth. This declaration was served upon the RCMP and National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa by a man named Chief William Denby, was emailed by our host Brad Wozny to President Trump, Vice President Vance, the Inspector General in Washington, and the magnitude for what was brought forward is thanks to the vigilance and fiery spirit of Freda Davis, a member of the Haida clan in the Pacific Northwest, who did not turn a blind eye to the evil. She and her husband Elvis Davis, a Chief and also a member of the Haida clan, join our host Brad Wozny to share their gut-wrenching tale of tragedy among this sobering triumph to help save our children and stop the slaughter of mankind.

The Leafs were doubled up by Columbus in a rough night all around—Cayden Primeau struggled and the team looked disjointed. The fellas discuss the ongoing conversation surrounding Easton Cowan’s development amid Toronto’s perennially high expectations. John Tavares quietly hit 500 goals amid the loss, a milestone Ray says is best celebrated later. Elsewhere, Brad Marchand took a leave from the Panthers to support a grieving family friend—an act of compassion reminding everyone what truly matters. Meanwhile, Ottawa, Utah, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh—all praised on the last pod—promptly lost in Tuesday’s Frozen Frenzy, with chaos in Pittsburgh including disallowed goals and Crosby’s mysterious misconduct. In Vancouver, hard skating drills raised eyebrows as Adam Foote tried to jumpstart a depleted lineup as he saw fit considering the team's limited practice time. Plus, extensions for Thomas Harley and Logan Cooley, both 8 years north of $10M per, signal the new going rate for emerging stars in a rising-cap era.

Form 1099-K applies to individuals who earn money through gig work or sell goods online. Third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs)—including platforms such as Amazon, eBay, PayPal, and Venmo - must send copies of the form to both the IRS and taxpayers, detailing the total payments received for goods and services. Return to the Pre-2021 Standard Before 2021, TPSOs were required to issue a Form 1099-K only if a seller received more than $20,000 and conducted at least 200 transactions during the year. The 2021 American Rescue Plan Act lowered that threshold to $600, triggering widespread criticism from taxpayers and digital-payment platforms who warned the rule would swamp casual sellers with unnecessary paperwork. The IRS initially attempted to phase in the lower limit—proposing $5,000 for 2024, $2,500 for 2025, and $600 from 2026 onward—but the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, permanently repealed those reductions. As a result, TPSOs are again only required to issue Form 1099-K if both of the following are true: The gross payments to a payee exceed $20,000, and The number of transactions exceeds 200.

Nose pointed at a rock wall, rescue specialist on the skid, rotor wash bouncing off granite, and then—power loss. Abort! Welcome to the world of helicopter rescue with Double D, Arizona Department of Public Safety pilot and systems operator. He's pulled climbers out of box canyons, rescued the stranded, recovered the fallen, and somehow lived to tell the story with gallows humor intact. Pete and Sticks dive into hoists, short-hauls, taglines, and near-death pucker-factor flying. We get into what it means to “move at the speed of safety,” how to manage canyon winds, and why teamwork matters more than horsepower when you're hanging 200 feet below a chopper. Add in rotor-wash physics, and Dos Gringos jokes—it's absurd, intense, and ridiculously good. Come for the rescues; stay for the adrenaline and the laughs.

When Salon Owner Ben Oxlade took over his family salon, he inherited more than just a business - he inherited the overwhelm, the burnout, and the belief that working harder behind the chair was the only way to survive. Fast forward 18 months, and Ben has completely rewritten that story. He has nearly doubled his salon's revenue without doubling his team, built managers who he can trust, and stepped off the salon floor to reclaim his freedom. In this episode, Ben shares the pivotal strategies and mindset shifts that turned his salon around - and how he's building a business that not only thrives, but allows him to live life on his terms.
