Ice cream explorer. I studied fine art and then started Jeni’s Ice Creams in a farmers market in Ohio (2002). 60+ shops, 4K groceries, 1500 amazing team members across 🇺🇸 + Jeni’s.com ❤️ I love ice cream. How it melts and blooms scent. How it transports us and connects us. I like how it brings you into the moment to get to know someone else better. Who would you share a cone with? ❤️‍🔥 🍨 is a metaphor for life—be present, engage it, enjoy the nuances right now, or it’ll disappear before your eyes. What is something you will miss when it’s gone? 👅The definition of “FLAVOR” is: The essential character of something or someone. I like to explore flavor. What’s yours? 🍄Creativity + imagination lead to vision. What is the origin of ideas? Of virtue? Of talent? Of discipline? Of confidence, and the courage to grab hold of your dreams? Where is the intersection of art + entrepreneurship? Let’s explore! 🧚‍♀️I’m a champion of Start Small + Build Entrepreneurship (vs Pitch n Launch). And the potential it has to create economic equity and help rebalance the power structure. You in? 🪜I believe anyone in America can start wherever they are and build anything they can imagine. YOU CAN DO IT! Hold your ownership as long as possible! Start small + build. Tell your friends! ⚖️Entrepreneurship isn’t about money, it’s about freedom. And we (local, state + fed govt; education, media, biz, credit markets, tech, etc.) can support Start Small + Build and Entrepreneurship better. Ask me how! Ask me why! 🦋No one starts from nothing. We’ve all got our brain, brawn, buds, heart, soul, fire! The most important resources for disruption, discipline + focus, entrepreneurship, art, and achievement of any kind ARE WITHIN US. Why are you still worried about 💵? 🪐You will find me in my daydreams 🍄 Jeni.world My life is my art 🔄 The art perspective: THINK. DO. REFLECT. REPEAT.
