Serial entrepreneur, community architect, and now, co-owner of Seemingly Overzealous, Charlotte\u2019s fun, fast-growing dairy-, egg-, and gluten-free ice cream shop, Garrett has made a career out of turning \u201cwhat ifs\u201d into \u201cwhy nots.\u201d   If you\u2019ve spent a minute in Charlotte\u2019s creative circles, you\u2019ve probably heard of Hygge Coworking\u2014Garrett\u2019s first big leap into building spaces where people connect, create, and thrive.

Garrett\u2019s mission? To make ice cream fun, inclusive, and, above all, delicious. As he puts it, \u201cThe experience is important to us. We want it to be a fun place to be, not only for kids, but adults too.\u201d   On this episode of Raising a Ruckus, Garrett Tichy shares how a pandemic hobby became Charlotte\u2019s coolest new hangout, why building community is always at the heart of his ventures, and what happens when you stop worrying about stuff and just go for it.
