What kind of company would you want your father to work for? That was the question that Fiasco Gelato CEO James Boettcher asked himself when he took over a small artisan gelato shop from his friend Matt Wilson in 2003. The son of a struggling single parent decided to start a company with strong social values that not only paid a living wage but was also committed to enriching people's lives. Motivated by the grandiose vision of legendary entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, James built a vision for Fiasco as a company that could emulate great brands while simultaneously serving its community, treating its employees with respect while delivering a delicious, old-world product. 15 years and 6,000% growth later, Fiasco is considered a best-in-class Certified B Corporation, in a class with brands like Ben and Jerry's. After dealing with setbacks like a major fire that gutted their original space, they now lead a team of 59 people in what they call 'The Little Gelato Shop That Could.' The company measures all aspects of its social output, including charitable donations, environmental impact, employee ownership, and diversity, even inputting a “Mission Lock” into its corporate documents to ensure that any future owners honor its purpose-driven approach.
As an entrepreneur, James Boettcher says he built Gelato Co in a way that would make his mom and dad want to work at the Calgary-based gelato maker. For James, gelato is more than a business. Hear him talk about a larger purpose centred on his employees and community.
Meet James Boettcher, a serial entrepreneur who is showing his customers that they CAN buy happiness – and it comes in an aesthetically-pleasing jar.

When James Boettcher was just starting out as a young entrepreneur, the new business he had just bought burned to the ground right before opening day – after he had already invested all of his loan money in renovations. That was Fiasco Gelato, a now-thriving purpose-driven enterprise. James explains how he persevered to bring Fiasco to where it is today, and the benefits of Fiasco’s flexible and humanistic workplace culture.
In this episode, James Boettcher, owner and Chief Idea Officer of FIASCO Gelato tells the story of how at age 25 and with $1,800 to his name, he purchased a very small FIASCO Gelato scoop shop.
