In this strangely amazing episode we talk with Strange Donuts owner and founder Jason Bockman about entrepreneurship, donuts and evolving this iconic treat with different diets, life and more. This hour flies by and you'll find out why! Plus, the best thing we ever ate!
Strange Donuts started in 2013, and five years later, is one of the city's favorite spots for a sweet treat. A huge reason for that is the boundless energy and unwavering commitment of founder Jason Bockman. Looking back on his journey, Bockman is still blown away where he is and how he got here, even if he always believed he'd get here someday. When he was a teenager, he was getting into fights and in trouble with the law. Then something happened that made him focus on making himself a success and he's never looked back. His road went through a hot dog stand, business school in St. Louis, and eventually Hong Kong, but he ended up back home and now runs one of the most successful food spots in the city. His story is incredible, and his commitment to running Strange Donuts in a way that treats his employees like family and his customers like friends has helped grow the business to four locations. Now, he has dreams of growing even bigger. Sit back, plug in, and enjoy! Jason also started a nonprofit, Strange Cares, focused on empowering kids lives with help from partners Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Children’s Heart Foundation and Girls on the Run.
