8: The Ice Cream Atmosphere, with Lori Phillips of Rocko’s Ice Cream Tacos
Update: 2019-03-23
Description
From an immunology Ph.D to ice cream entrepreneur, learn how a book, a funny name, and a memory of an ice cream taco all came together to form Lori’s delicious desert business. We discuss reasons to remaining artisanal, the argument against franchising, and the power of liquid nitrogen.
