This week we\u2019re talking with Jeni Britton Bauer, the founder and CEO of Jeni\u2019s Splendid Ice Creams. She\u2019s been a pioneer in gourmet ice cream since she started over two decades ago, and continues to innovate. I was curious about how she develops her inventive flavors and what it takes to make award-winning ice cream at scale. It turns out there\u2019s a lot more art and science--and logistics\u2014than I ever imagined. She shares her greatest challenges\u2014from product recalls and regulatory requirements, to angry consumers blaming you for buying up all the state\u2019s strawberries. And we talk about the importance of just rolling up your sleeves in order to learn and evolve your product. In the process, she has engaged partners across the whole state and beyond, from the dairies and growers to the service providers and suppliers, to create a \u201cFellowship Model\u201d for making her ice cream.
