Welcome to Season 2/Episode 4 of Smart As A Cookie: The Podcast, presented by USA Girl Scouts Overseas in partnership with Pop Singer/Songwriter Kristina Lachaga! Meet Lily Arispe: Founder of Lilypad Prints, Junior Girl Scout and total STEMinist! At 8 years old, Lily used her Dad's 3D printer to create a busy business of her very own and in her first 3 months of business she sold over 1000 pairs of 3D printed earring (now that's a total goal-getter!).
Lily has over 100+ 3D-printed earring designs, including mermaid tail, hearts, moons, and origami cranes and we love her commitment to excellence with each pair of earrings she makes.
Find out Lily's advice for young girls starting businesses, turning your passion for fashion into a (super creative & innovative!) business, giving back to the community, her (brand new!) Girl Scout journey, and more!
Lily has such an amazing personality and energy and it was so much fun talking with her over Zoom for our interview!
Get to know our fab entrepreneur, Lily!
- Lily sells her earrings in local shops in North Carolina and in her online store. For every pair of earrings sold in these shops, she donates a dollar to a local women's shelter! (Love this!!)
- Lily is a brand-new Girl Scouts (catch her wearing her Junior vest to her Troop meetings!)
- Lily loves being homeschooled and learning new things every day!
Follow Lily's journey on her Website, Instagram, and Facebook as she leaps to new heights!

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders
Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
