“Mikey Likes It Ice Cream” Founder – Mikey Cole Tip Not Included
-
- Karriär
Imagine you're cleaning up your ice cream shop and in walk in two Secret Service men to surveil the joint. The year is 2015 and Hillary Clinton is running for President. The former Secretary of State is known to be a chocolate ice cream lover and heard about your establishment. She does in fact show up and not only orders ice cream for herself, but picks up the tab for other patrons, too.
This scene really happened to Mikey Cole, the founder of Mikey Likes It Ice Cream, the world’s first pop culture inspired ultra-premium ice cream brand. With three NYC locations (East Village, Harlem and Midtown), it’s where homemade, artisan and all-natural ice creams are created.
Hear this tale and more, on the latest episode of Tip Not Included as the irreverent Eric Levine is back behind the mic after too-long of an absence and welcomes, Mikey as his first post-Covid guest.
Mikey relays that memorable meeting with HRC (where among other topics they spoke about prison reform) plus, recalls how he found his calling in making ice cream when he realized how it helped him get through a particularly difficult chapter in his life. He knew that if the cathartic effects of ice cream making could help him, it could surely help others. And thereafter Mikey Likes It Ice Cream was born.
With his traditional milkman white uniform – accented with royal blue in a nod to NYC sports teams – Mikey believes that with all its ups and downs, life is like a roller coaster. And for Mikey, the important thing is, you don’t get off.
Before his chat with Mikey begins, Eric does what Eric does best. He gives his opinion. This time, he goes back to the show’s roots and questions why a server would not be able to tip a cook or a dishwasher after walking home with $350 a night, with others making minimum wage, while the dishwasher is wearing a black garbage bag over his head like a uniform. Do you know why? Would you like to weigh in? If so, reach out to Eric on Instagram: @tipnotincludedpodcast or Twitter: @tipnotincl or Email: eric@tipnotincluded.com.
