from Cornell (thank) U
What happens when two Cornell track athletes start commiserating about watered-down iced coffee on a 14-mile run? For Ben Gibson and Mikey Dizon-Bumann, it turned into Kube & Co.They tell us how they took a problem iced coffee drinkers have dealt with forever and figured out a way to actually solve it—through countless experiments, incredible creativity, unexpected setbacks, and a lot of persistence. We hear why their very different skill sets make them great partners and how Cornell—from the track team to the Hospitality Business Plan Competition—helped them turn Kube & Co. into a growing business. We talk coffee flavors (including some that definitely missed), Shark Tank dreams, why Kube is spelled with a K, and what’s next.While their skill sets may be different, they share an undeniable charisma. We loved our time with them!Special thanks to Ayotunde Ejiko (episode 251) for the introduction!Find their company here: https://kubeand.co/Not sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University.
