"Life Is Better With Ice Cream" David Hodge - The Inspiring Story Behind Crooked D Creamery

from Lure of the Lake

Today’s guest has worn a lot of hats over the years. He’s been a leader, an author, a consultant, involved in ministry-focused organizations, a rancher… and now he’s adding one more title to the list—ice cream shop owner. That’s right. David Hodge is the owner of Crooked D Creamery, one of downtown Eatonton’s newest and most unique businesses. And while the handcrafted ice cream may be what brings people through the front door, it’s David’s story that makes this episode so compelling. We’ll talk about where his love of ice cream began, the story behind the unusual name Crooked D Creamery, and why, after a lifetime of leadership, writing, and helping organizations grow, he decided now was the right time to open an old-fashioned ice cream shop. Along the way, we’ll explore lessons about entrepreneurship, purpose, community, and the importance of creating places where people can slow down, gather together, and simply enjoy life. Because sometimes the sweetest stories aren’t just found in the ice cream… they’re found in the people serving it. So grab your favorite flavor—real or imaginary—and join me for a conversation with David Hodge that just might leave you smiling… and maybe craving a double scoop before it’s over.
