Life Isn't a Set it and Forget it Game with Douglas Bouton
Life Isn't a Set it and Forget it Game with Douglas Bouton

In this episode we interview Doug Bouton, cofounder of Halo Top, the iconic low-calorie ice cream brand that grew to more than $300 million in sales and became the #1 selling ice cream in the United States, outselling the likes of Ben & Jerry’s, Haagen-Dazs, and Breyers.

Halo Top sold its business in September 2019, after which Doug spun out Halo Top’s international operations into Halo Top International where he currently serves as CEO. Halo Top is sold in more than 30 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Chile, Russia, Korea, and China.

In 2021, Doug launched Gatsby Chocolate, the first-ever and only low-calorie chocolate brand that’s positioned to disrupt the chocolate and confectionery category much like Halo Top disrupted the ice cream category.

Shift from "Survival to Thrival" with Phyllis Ginsberg
Shift from "Survival to Thrival" with Phyllis Ginsberg

In this episode we interview Phyllis Ginsberg, M.A., MFT, author of Brain Makeover – A Weekly Guide to a Happier, Healthier, and More Abundant Life and Tired and Hungry No More – Not Your Ordinary Guide to Reclaiming Your Health and Happiness.

Phyllis is known and beloved by many happier, less stressed working professionals as their Survival to Thrival Expert. Her 30 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and expertise in Positive Psychology, Brain Research, and EFT Tapping, give her clients an edge in making lasting, profound changes in their lives. Quickly, they shift their stressful thinking to achieve calm, clarity, and creativity. That means that the quality of their lives and work gets better – often in a moment.

In 2005, in her former career as a court expert for high conflict divorce cases, Phyllis was no stranger to stress and overwhelm. Both put her on a path to near career and life burnout. She applied her own “Survival to Thrival” methods to create a happy, calm, and prosperous new life and business for herself. Her one-on-one clients and workshop participants appreciate her commitment today to guiding them along the path to successfully sidestep stress and burnout and create better lives and happier careers — no matter what demands life dishes up.
