Bringing a Taste of Europe to the US - Jeremy Carlson, Founder & CEO of Crispy Cones

Jeremy Carlson, Founder and CEO of Crispy Cones, joins us on the Dirt Dog Pod. Jeremy created Crispy Cones after a dream he had of bringing a desert traditional in the Czech Republic back to his friends and family in the US. From there Jeremy perfected his take on the chimney cone and started selling them out of a pop up tent in college 7 years ago. From there it has been an absolute whirlwind of growth for the brand, from being featured on "Shark Tank" to expanding across the US with new locations opening frequently. Jeremy shares his passion for his brand and thoughts on what makes entrepreneurship worthwhile.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Jeremy shares the rollercoaster of events that have gotten him and the Crispy Cones team to where they are today.
• The importance of image and branding when starting a concept from the ground up.
• The difficulty that comes with being your own boss but, how when done right it is extremely rewarding.
