I was joined by Indiana's sweet treat king, Janzin Cripe- founder of Chills Delight, an emerging ice cream and donut shop in Northern Indiana that has gained significant attention on social media.

Starting from humble beginnings in a shed, Janzin shares his journey of turning his small-town business into a popular brand with millions of views on TikTok.

The conversation covers the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of family support, and the unexpected success driven by phenomenal customer service and authentic social media content.

  • The importance of perseverance and adaptability in entrepreneurship
