🥶En el frío mundo de los negocios pocas marcas han logrado conjugar el éxito empresarial con el compromiso político como Ben & Jerry's. Con un historial social como el de la heladera, no extrañan las disputas entre los cofundadores, el exCEO y Unilever, actual propietaria de la compañía, a causa del conflicto en Gaza. El último capítulo de una empresa capaz de triunfar en todo el mundo con helados premium, pero sin dejar de lado la cultura pop y el compromiso político, todo en la misma tarrina.

☮️Para entender el posicionamiento político de la compañía hay que viajar a sus orígenes. Y es que Ben Cohen y Jerry Greenfield, fundadores de la compañía en los años 70, eran dos hippies. Nacidos con tan solo 4 días de diferencia, y compartiendo su origen judío, se conocieron en el instituto, en Nueva York. Se hicieron amigos en clase de gimnasia, donde acostumbraban a quedar últimos en caad una de las pruebas. "Éramos los dos niños más gordos y lentos", reconocieron luego. Fue esa falta de atletismo, que les dificultaba encajar, la que creó una complicidad entre ellos que dura hasta nuestros días.

🍦En 1977, mientras compartían piso en Nueva York, deciden dejarlo todo, lo poco que tenían en realidad, para montar un negocio relacionado con la comida. Su primera idea fue montar un puesto de bagels, muy típico de Nueva York. Pero cuando vieron lo caro que sería comprar toda la maquinaria necesaria se echaron atrás. Así que se les ocurrió abrir una heladería.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
