Pursuing Fearless by Living Authentically

with Toa Green

Apple Spotify Google Stitcher

Show Summary

In this episode, Jessi talks with entrepreneur and ice cream genius Toa Green. With a background in journalism, paired with a love of hospitality and food, Toa transformed a $60 two-quart Cuisinart ice cream maker and a recipe for Thai coconut ice cream into a successful company with a team of 30+. She swore she’d never return to the food industry post-college. But, when Toa confronted her authentic self, it led her to found Crank & Boom.

Topics

  • Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, from grandparents to her parents to Toa herself. 
  • The importance of a marketing and branding background and how that translates to running a successful business.
  • Swearing off the food industry but realizing it wasn’t something Toa could just turn off. 
  • Living her Thai and Southern Kentucky heritage through her love of hospitality and food.
  • Transforming a $60 two-quart Cuisinart ice cream maker and a recipe for Thai coconut ice cream into a 30+ team and fully developed craft ice cream company.
  • Two great lessons: 1. Believing in what you are selling and serving, and seeing it through. 2. Not waiting for the mythical. All the people start showing up before you start doing the work.
