Ice is a staple in our daily lives, but have you ever wondered about the business behind those frosty cubes? In the latest episode of The Upswing, host Jeff Sherman dives deep into the world of ice with a special guest, Dan Guenther, the co-founder of Rockhopper Ice Collective.


"I've always been fascinated by ice. Good ice makes a good drink better. But, the ice business hasn't changed much in the past 100 years. So, I was excited to hear that a Wisconsin-based company wants to innovate and improve it. 


The winner of the 2024 Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest Pitch Competition, Rockhopper Ice Collective, is working on an ice machine for commercial use that will allow drink sellers to provide a variety of different kinds of ice - cubes, crushed, shaved - from a single piece of modern equipment." - Jeff Sherman


Dan Guenther joined The Upswing today to talk about the business, our obsession with ice, and where it's all going.


This engaging conversation aired on July 5th, 2024, just in time for the festive holiday weekend.
