Jake Karls, Lezlie Karls and Nick Saltarelli started making chocolate bars by hand in their condo kitchen in 2018 to solve the 2 p.m. crash — and built their own manufacturing facility when no co-manufacturer could make the product the way they wanted. They've now sold over 80 million bars across 10,000+ stores in North America. This is the story of @middaysquares.

Your reminder that you don’t always have to do things the way they’ve always been done
I grew up chasing the checklist—grades, comfort, the “right” path. I just wanted to fit in and play it “safe.” Until failing at it showed me that I’ll never win by being someone I’m not. When you lean into your authenticity, you win. Success isn’t a checklist; it’s choosing your path and moving forward while believing in yourself. Fear used to block me. Now I use fear to propel me forward.

One thing I’ve noticed about the people I enjoy being around most: They haven’t lost their spark. They still get excited. They still laugh. They still dance when a good song comes on. Dance more, worry less… We get one lap around the world, might as well have the time of your life. Life’s fun with you @melissazoltak ❤️
