P<\/strong>EOPLE ARE <\/strong>natural innovators. We adapt to our surroundings, solve problems, and work to make our lives and others\u2019 better. For entrepreneurs, this is especially true, and Lynchburg has recently become home to a perfect example of that innovation \u2014 NOVU Pops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by Adelin Lucaci, with help from his brother, Brandon, NOVU Pops started as a basement experiment combining caffeine, vitamins, and lollipops. The product has since exploded in its reach, as a minute-long meeting with a CEO led to the product being accepted into Lowe\u2019s stores and, later, several airports. While still in the onboarding\u00a0process, the brothers are building a new 2000-square-foot facility for production right here in Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that budding success didn\u2019t happen by accident. It resulted from a childhood full of learning, months of hard work, and, Adelin said, the guidance of God. Adelin was born in Romania, but he and Brandon grew up in San Francisco, immersed in entrepreneurship. Their mother and father were business owners in Romania, and their father also had a successful construction business in the States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince our mom homeschooled us, and since our dad involved us in the construction\u00a0work a lot because he knew the value of hard work, we lived like entrepreneurs,\u201d Brandon said. \u201cThat\u2019s just the way that our brains are wired.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adelin was set to take over his dad\u2019s business. He\u2019d gotten a contractor license and his commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) and was about ready to start. However, all those plans were upended one Sunday morning when an elder at their church spoke to them about a dream he\u2019d had the night before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn that dream, we were in a very specific location, and he didn\u2019t know what it was \u2014 what it meant \u2014 and he didn\u2019t even want to tell us what it was because he thought it was weird,\u201d Adelin expressed. \u201cWhen he was describing what he saw \u2014 that specific location \u2014 I immediately knew what it was. It was a rental property that my parents [owned] in Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking it as a sign that God wanted them in Virginia, the brothers began making plans. They moved into that rental property with a plan to start a new construction company in Lynchburg as Brandon began school at Liberty University. Then, on the first night in the house, Adelin woke up with the idea of NOVU Pops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first thought when I woke up [was] a whole business \u2014 the whole brand \u2014 everything. The whole product was in my mind just instantly,\u201d Adelin said. \u201cI was like, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s a really, really cool idea.\u2019 And I started to work on it \u2014 started getting interested.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Neither brother had experience in the sweets industry, so Adelin started researching. He converted his basement into a lab, experimenting with making the pops, and contacted a Food and Drug Administration consultant to learn the legalities of making candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a year and nine months before anything came of the idea \u2014 a time Brandon said was fraught with doubt and struggle. NOVU Pops was just one of the hundreds of ideas Adelin had, and there was no guarantee that it would be successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just battling and wrestling with this concept,\u201d Brandon said. \u201cIt\u2019s good, the brand is perfect … it stands for everything that we stand for. Do I even commit to this?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, he kept working. The brothers did construction jobs on the side to fund Adelin\u2019s research and experimentation, and\u00a0they went to conferences to network and learn more about entrepreneurship. It was at one of those conferences that everything changed. The Lucaci brothers knew that Lowe\u2019s CEO Marvin Ellison would attend Liberty University\u2019s CEO Summit as a keynote speaker and were determined to speak to him after the event. However, something drew them to approach during a short intermission instead \u2014 If they hadn\u2019t, they would have missed him entirely. Ellison came late and left early.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe showed him, \u2018We highly respect you \u2014 we see what you have done, how you\u2019ve changed businesses and how you have grown them all, and you\u2019re still a strong Christian leader doing it.\u2019\u201d Brandon said. \u201cWe appreciated that, so we wanted to ask for his advice \u2014 how do we get something like this into Lowe\u2019s, keep our values, and so on.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The brothers didn\u2019t even have a pop with them, only some sample packaging, but Ellison pointed them to a Lowe\u2019s event called \u201cInto the Blue: Lowe\u2019s Product Pitch Event.\u201d Though they only spoke briefly, Ellison got them into the currently running finals and chose them as\u00a0his personal recommendation to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy in the world did Mr. Ellison take that risk \u2014 risking his reputation to put us as his personal recommendation into the show?\u201d Brandon questioned. \u201cWe have no idea why. The only thing that we can think of is it was just the favor of God.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brothers succeeded throughout the event. Lowe\u2019s even changed its policy on selling food to sell NOVU Pop in its stores. Now, NOVU Pops is in the process of entering airports as well. The hard work and dedication of the Lucaci brothers are finally paying off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as big wins that happen out of nowhere,\u201d Adelin said. \u201cJust try to get 1% better every day. But for somebody to get to the point of accepting that \u2014 that takes a long time. I\u2019m just now realizing and accepting and leaning into \u2018one percent better every day.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a dream come true, but it also reflects the brothers\u2019 motto and the motto for NOVU Pops: Do good work. No matter what you do or how long it takes, do good work. If you get a little better every day, you never know what might happen. GN <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
