Summary

Today, I want to share a quick story with you about my first bite of Jeni's Ice Cream, and how that led me to learn more about her story, buy her cookbook and set a small culinary goal for myself. After this mini-episode, I think you'll feel more inspired to figure out and follow your passions and set small goals to work towards them. Is there something you can't stop dreaming about? What can you do today or this week to make it happen?

Hello, hello everyone. This is Tanya Dalton, owner of Inquell Press, and I'm here to give you another episode of The Weekender, a mini episode to help you end your week on the right note.

Not long ago, I came home from a long day at work to find a bright orange box waiting on my porch.

0:24.2

I stooped to pick it up and saw the words Jenny's ice cream scrawled across the side, and my heart began to race.

0:31.9

I had been dying to try Jenny's for quite some time, so I was thrilled with this surprise, as were my kids who are,

0:38.9

of course, always game to try new ice cream. I worried, though, that I'd set my expectations

0:43.9

too high, so as I tasted the first bite of the salted peanut butter ice cream, my eyes opened wide,

0:51.7

it was, without a doubt, the best ice cream I've ever tasted, honestly.

And when I experience something like this, something so good that it makes me naturally want to

inspired. Jenny is a woman who knows her passion. She went to

1:14.3

culinary school to become a chef and then spent the next years of her life perfecting the art of

ice cream. And she continues to innovate and explore new textures and flavors. But why ice cream?

1:36.4

Because she had a passion for it. Not because it was easy. It wasn't. Not because there was a

1:42.5

gap in the market. There wasn't. Not because she already knew

1:46.6

exactly how to do it. She didn't. She did it because it called to her. And because she followed her

1:53.7

passion, she's at the top of the ice cream heap, so to speak. Now, is there something that you've been

2:00.3

thinking about, maybe something you can't

2:02.3

stop dreaming about? What can you do today to get one step closer to that passion project,

2:08.9

2:16.2

making that happen?
