We're revisiting one of our most-loved conversations on What's Your Shine? The Happy Podcast—a re-run that's just as inspiring now as when it first aired.
Join us for a delicious and joy-filled episode featuring Kari Crowe Seher, founder of Melt Ice Creams and a 2025 Woman Who Shines. Kari's story is a beautiful reminder that creativity, courage, and community can turn a simple idea into something truly extraordinary.
In this episode, Kari shares her unexpected journey from a background in photography and studio art to building one of Texas's most beloved boutique ice cream brands. She reflects on what it took to step into entrepreneurship without a traditional business roadmap—and how a willingness to learn, adapt, and "figure it out" along the way became one of her greatest strengths.
Through candid conversation, Kari reveals why ice cream is about so much more than dessert. For her, it's a vehicle for storytelling, connection, and celebration—marking milestones, gathering people together, and spreading joy one scoop at a time. Listeners will hear about the creativity behind Melt's flavors, the grit required to grow a brand, and the deep value of building something rooted in community.
