Episode 062 | Mikey Likes It

The Purple Cup Pirates take a trip to Harlem to sit with none other than Michael "Mikey" Cole, owner of Mikey Likes It Ice Cream, the number 1 New York made ice-cream.

Mike puts us on to the history behind his brand, how he stumbled upon ice cream as his saving grace, and the driving force behind his success - love. His dedication to his community and people are driven by that main ingredient. He strives to bring joy to any and everyone who steps foot into one of his locations, and makes sure that everyone on his team lives this vision.

We speak on all the connections and dreams that have been realized via ice cream. From watching Patrick Ewing's car parked outside his hood as a young lad, to now being side by side with the New York Legend and collaborating on sneakers together. Being able to inspire kids to get good grades to earn free ice cream, the same kids that he once was. Taking his aunt's recipe and fine-tuning it to serve the masses - and he's just getting started.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed stuffing our faces with this AMAZING ice cream - no lies told!
