Henry Akinbamijo has been an ice cream man for the past 20 years. During the warmer months he spends up to 16 hours a day / seven days a week, in his truck selling cold sweet treats to kids in Brooklyn. But Henry’s story is not just about ice cream. It’s about dreams, determination, and the intricacies of running a seasonal business in one of the world's most vibrant cities. Originally from Nigeria, he’s become a staple on the streets of Brooklyn. 

In this episode Henry speaks to Epicenter-NYC’s Hari Adivarekar about his experience in the industry, and what he loves about the job.
