Lee Rhodes has set out to light up the world. She once dropped a candle into a hand-blown glass and suddenly saw hope despite her cancer. After overcoming the illness, she started glassybaby, a Seattle company that hand crafts colorful glass candleholders. glassybaby's revenues are in the millions, but Rhodes insists on donating a healthy percentage of those sales to charity. Martha Stewart has featured her products. Amazon's Jeff Bezos invested in her company, and she's won entrepreneurship awards for her inspired leadership.
