Every Founder knows the spark that starts an idea and then the journey begins. In this episode of Founderology: Built to Breakthrough, we talk with Donna and Daniel Golik, Mother and Son Founders of Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream – craveable, flash freezing made to order ice cream.

Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream is the brainchild of ice-cream loving Daniel. So much loving that he spent 6 months in his garage, but 3,345,789 brain-freeze later, the almighty "nitrogen ice cream equation' was perfect and Chill-N was born. Today, Daniel and Donna are expanding Chill-N from its roots in South Florida and franchising across country and in the process redefining ice cream for all.

The Chill Behind the Brand

A brand that began with curiosity, grew through innovation, and continues to expand through purpose. Their conversation reveals what happens when vision becomes more than a plan on paper. It shows how belief, family, and focus can create something that resonates far beyond a storefront.

Daniel and Donna share the inside track on how they transformed experimentation into their growing enterprise. They share their lessons on building systems that work, creating culture that lasts, and leading with values that never waiver. Donna and Daniel also speak to the power of innovation and staying grounded while growth accelerates.
