How We Started A $2 Million Candle Company As Kids | The Ground Up

It's not often you see a business success story from kids under 18 years old. But 3 brothers, Collin, 17, Ryan, 14, and Austin Gill, 12, are co-founders of the $2 million candle company Frères Branchiaux. The candle company is sold at Macy's and Target, among others.

This is an amazing story. I’m 52 years old. I’ve been in the property maintenance business since 2002. I’m tired of it. I’ve been looking at different candle businesses on KZbin for the last 3 months. Expanding to soaps, lotions and bath bombs. I’ve already ordered about a little over $1,500. In product. But, I guess I’ve been stuck and scared to start. After watching this video. It put a big smile 😃 on my face. God bless you, your husband and boys. May the Lord continue blessing and give you all guidance in success 🙏🙏

I love the fact that these brothers have gone into business at such a young age. This shows that our young Black men have such potential, drive, and ambition. May they become the next role models for other young men.

I'm originally from the 757 area of Suffolk VA and now live in New Jersey. Lots of family in Newport News and D.C. area. Your family is an inspiration, my daughter-in-law and I started making candles and reed diffusers last year. Hope to start selling by July.

Just another example of the brilliance and intelligence of Native American women. This is our culture. Not the negativity they give to us and call it culture.

Jesus Christ our Lord is coming soon. Accept Him and be saved. Jesus is the Only One Who saves. Repent of your sins and preach the Gospel the good news of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior👑. Amen😇💙🙏 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12 King James Bible Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and her that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him John 3:36 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:26 Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! If you have it accepted Jesus into your life and you would like to do so right now. Please pray this prayer.. Sinners prayer Dear heavenly father, I believe you said your one, and only son Jesus, to live die and resurrect for my sake. Jesus, I invite you into my life right now. Please come be my Savior, Lord and Friend Please forgive me my sins. I want a relationship with you. In Jesus Name, I pray Amen. Congratulations!!!!!!! Welcome to the family and don’t forget Jesus loves you very much and He coming very soon 😇💙🙏🎊🎉
