#421 Lauren Wilson - Ice Cream Entrepreneur and Author - @sweetlosicecream

A wonderfully summery and tasty podcast with Lauren Wilson, who shares with us her journey from moving to Vermont and uncovering her kryptonite -- an ice cream maker in the restaurant where she worked.  She immediately started making ice cream and found that others loved her flavors.  That led to a move back to Seattle, where she developed a wholesale business, accomplishing getting her product into 30 grocery stores in the area.  That was a tough business model.

 

She eventually wanted to try opening a scoop shop in Portland, but her plans were scuttled by a thing called a pandemic.  So, now she's in the midst of writing an cream recipe book, for which she's seeking out publishers.

 

We enjoyed our talk about her journey as well as how childhood memories play into an almost universal love of ice cream.  Plus, some favorite flavors!!!!
