Ep. 29: Clementine's Naughty or Nice Creamery w/ Tamara Keefe

On today's episode, host Braden delves into the inspiring journey of Tamara Keefe, CEO of Clementine's Naughty or Nice Creamery. With 8 thriving locations, nationwide shipping, and expanding regionally, Tamara shares invaluable insights into the art of building a successful ice cream brand. From her humble beginnings in southern California to becoming a self-made entrepreneur, Tamara's story is a testament to perseverance and passion. Growing up in a family that initially couldn't afford outings for ice cream, Tamara's world transformed when her mother bought a $2 hand-crank ice cream machine. This simple act ignited Tamara's love for creating unique and delicious flavors, leading to her renowned small-batch ice creams celebrated across the nation. Her flavors have earned accolades from CBS This Morning, Food & Wine, Eater, Good Morning America, and more, solidifying Clementine's reputation as a leader in the industry. In 2014, Tamara took a leap of faith, leaving her high-profile corporate job to turn her lifelong dream into reality. Today, Clementine's stands as a symbol of family, community, and the joyous connections that ice cream can foster.
