Sweet Success: How the Co-Founder of Sugarfina Disrupted the Candy Industry罗西奥尼尔是把主的时候a twist on a trend.

Thanks to Rosie O'Neill, entrepreneurship is getting a whole lot sweeter. After working for seven years as the director of marketing for Barbie, the self-professed candy addict co-foundedSugarfinain 2012, alongside her now-husband Josh.

"Josh took me to seeWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factoryon our third date," O'Neill says. "We both loved that movie as little kids, but we said to each other, where did the magic go around candy?" It was that very conversation that sparked the idea to create a luxury candy boutique for grown-ups, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Sugarfina has since grown into a multimillion-dollar business. It probably comes as no surprise, then, that O'Neill's entrepreneurial spirit and gift for creativity started early on.

"I was always that kid who was being super creative without really realizing it. I'd be off making friendship bracelets or doing all these arts and crafts," O'Neill says. "I definitely skewed more towards the creative side, but I also really loved the business side. I was always turning these things into little businesses, but for whatever reason, I didn't connect the dots that it could actually be a career path."

And what a delightful career path it turned out to be. Sugarfina's Instagram-worthy products, unique store designs and innovative marketing techniques have not only made the company a household name, it's also the fastest growing confections brand in the country.

In this episode ofProject Luminary with Kristen Aldridge, learn how O'Neill went from overcoming immense challenges to successfully disrupting the $200-billion confections industry, one sweet treat at a time.
