Maria Hokanson and Paul Mooty

Think & Link: March 20th (Thursday), 3:00-5:00 pm Central (In-Person, and Streamed LinkedIn Live).

We have a truly unique pairing for March and the trifecta of ice cream, wool, entrepreneurial creativity.

We have the head of marketing from Dairy Queen, Maria Hokanson along with Paul Mooty of Faribault Woolen Mills on the stage. Each of these two individuals has amazing stories to share, but the connection between them might be the most intriguing. Hint: it isn’t because one of these products makes you cold and the other one warm.

You’ll have to know a bit of Mn history or perhaps your favorite Ai knows.

And if that isn’t enough we have Kitty Hart and Aaron Keller back as your co-hosts.

Areas of learning from this event;

One: The blend of franchise, entrepreneurship and creativity in Minnesota.

Two: How brands build in emotional drivers right into the center of their offering.

Three: The story of these two brands and how they are adapting for the future while keeping connected to the roots of their origin stories.
