    Nov 2 2026
    KIND bar founder and Shark Tank investor Daniel Lubetzky has a new obsession. It’s a nasal strip.

    Can You Give Away 25% of Your Profits and Still Build a Business?
    Oct 26 2026
    Flowers for Dreams gives away 25% of its profits. In the flower business, where margins are already brutal. Co-founder Steve Dyme sketched that number on a bar napkin 15 years ago, and he’s kept it through investor pushback and on-air skepticism from Megyn Kelly. The result is more than $1.8 million donated, and a spot on Entrepreneur’s America’s Favorite Mom and Pop Shops list. But there’s a twist.
