B&G Sweet Treats [Part 2] Bea and Gretta Putman - The Best Ice Cream Sandwiches in Town

B&G Sweet Treats [Part 2] Bea and Gretta Putman - The Best Ice Cream Sandwiches in Town

A new business venture involving two Petoskey-area sisters is serving up some cool treats this summer.

B&G Sweet Treats, owned by teenage sisters Bea and Greta Putman, recently has been working to offer frozen novelties to help Petoskey locals and visitors beat the summer heat.

“We serve specialty and gourmet ice cream sandwiches made here in Michigan,” said Bea. “the whole idea started when we saw the truck on Facebook Marketplace. We thought about what we could do with it.”

The sisters, with the help of some family members, purchased the truck, coined a name and started serving.

“It all started when we saw the truck on Facebook Marketplace and through we could do something with it,” said Bea. “We have done a few other businesses together and are used with working together and knew we could make this work.”

The sisters bought the truck — a 1987 Cushman Truckster — in April and had it ready to go to start selling ice cream on Memorial Day.

The truck had to obtain permits and an inspection in order to serve but the sisters “passed everything easily.”

“The truck is too small to do the traditional scooped ice cream so we decided to do ice cream sandwiches as they are pre-packaged and easy to hand out,” said Greta.

In all, B&G Sweet Treats offers 10 different sandwiches from Michigan-based company Cool Jacks: Michigan Homemade Cookies and Ice Cream.

Each treat is only $5 and their top selling item is what’s called “The Kickstand.”

“It’s Mackinac Island Fudge ice cream with a chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookie,” said Greta.

B&G Sweet Treats has regular hours of 6 p.m. until sunset near the Petoskey breakwater behind the public safety station every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

B&G’s operators are considering the addition of Wednesday hours, potentially at the Petoskey District Library.

“We would really like to start offering more but also catering to special events like weddings, birthday parties and things like that,” said Bea.

B&G Sweet Treats can also be found online, with an Instagram page at bg_sweet_treats, and can be reached at sweetb.g123@gmail.com or (231) 881-5828.

B&G Sweet Treats [Part 1] Kevin Putman - Parenting entrepreneurs in the 21st Century

B&G Sweet Treats [Part 1] Kevin Putman - Parenting entrepreneurs in the 21st Century

Welcome to the Solgood Media podcast. A podcast that explores the nature of our human experience. Each week we have a new guest on the show and we talk to people about what it is that drives each of us to do what we do. What is it that gravitates each of us towards our passions?

It can be quite a process figuring out what drives each of us as human beings. Is it the desire growth, understanding? A search for purpose? Financial freedom? Or maybe just the desire to create?

Whatever is at the heart of what is driving us it is going to gradually pull us through each moment and get us closer to what it is that we desire.

When I was growing up I had a lot of ambitious dreams and a strong desire to learn new things. I would spend hours and hours perfecting my craft whether it be a guitar chord or a half court shot with a basketball. I still have a strong desire to learn and grow and I always get excited when I meet people who are doers, people that get stuff done, and not only have ideas but act upon them and lead other people by example of what is possible.

Over the next two weeks on the Solgood Media Podcast you’ll be learning more about the stories behind these two girls and the journey that they have been on. We’ll talk about their different businesses and how they got started in the first place.

Bea (age 16) and Gretta (age 13) are sisters and they have completely blown me away with the amount of entrepreneurial endeavors they have taken on at such young ages. They’ve seen success and have already faced some challenges that lead them to shutting down one of their business’s that was just starting to take off.

I wanted to tell this story from a few different perspectives and that’s why I decided to break this story into two different episodes. The first one, which you are currently listening, to is with Kevin who is Bea and Gretta’s father. I called Kevin up the night before my podcast with Bea and Gretta we talked about what it has been like navigating the waters of being a parent in the 21st century.

I just want to say that I had loving and supportive parents growing up who really supported and challenged me to do what I was called to do (shout out to Nancy and LeRoy you guys continue to inspire me) . Even though I was never specifically told what I should be doing, I was supported in whatever I decided to work towards. And here I am running a podcast which is a media channel that I never would have expected I’d be interested in. Yet as I’ve allowed the desires to manifest and realized my inherent gifts of genuine interest in growth and understanding I’ve had over 60+ intentional conversations about what drives people to do what they do.

If you are listening to this podcast It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what your backstory is. When you decide you want something and you believe you can do it. Anything is possible.

45: Montessori Students - Podcasting With Kids

In this conversation, I talk with 3 upper elementary students from Montessori where I went to school back in the day. They are preparing for a podcasting competition for NPR so I joined them to talk to them about what a podcast is and answer any questions they had.

Needless to say, this was a fun opportunity and I feel really inspired talking to a younger generation that really has a great outlook on our future.

Thanks to all the students, their teacher Ms. Mandi, and to the parents of the kids for making the podcast possible for listeners like you!

Enjoy :)

44: Lance Fortin - Question Everything

Today I’m excited to introduce Lance Fortin. Lance and his wife Lisa are the owners of  ReYouvenate. ReYouvenate is a medical practice in Northern Michigan that explores alternative approaches to pain and other chronic conditions. For those of you interested in learning more about ReYouventate I plan to have Dr. Lisa Fortin on the show in the near future to talk more about the cutting edge technology that they are bringing to Michigan.

In this episode, Lance and I explore some of his early experiences that led him to question mainstream approaches to education, health, media and pretty much everything. In a day and age when we’re bombarded by information at lightning speeds, it can be difficult to decipher fact from fiction. This makes it increasingly important for us to question what is presented to us whether it be through news, social media, podcasts, etc.. Keep listening to find out how questioning everything has helped lead to Lance’s success as an entrepreneur, husband, father, musician, podcaster and more!
