Frios Gourmet Pops is out to spread happiness throughout the world with their handmade frozen treats.
Listen in as Happiness Hustlers, Patti Rother, Ingrid Schneider and Olivia Dandapa discuss Frios ‘Give Back Culture’ filled with creativity, inclusivity and diversity.
Three very different women brought together with a common theme. How has their passion spread amongst their equally diverse team? What is their recipe for spreading happiness to franchisees, customers and others?
President Patti Rother along with Chief Creative Officer Ingrid Schneider and Director of Pops Olivia Dandapa join Rebecca Monet and Tracy Kawa on this episode of The Franchise Woman podcast: Where Passion & Purpose Collide.
Meet Patti Rother
patti rother is our president.
sometimes we call her madam president.
sometimes she doesn’t think we are funny. (but we are.)
patti comes to frios with years of experience and a heart of gold.
patti has an abnormally long wingspan and a photographic memory.
patti plays 256 instruments. okay, we are kidding, but she plays like five, and that’s not a lie. things that make patti happy: her daughter maya, her wife sarah’s boisterous laugh, her epic garden, spontaneous adventures, and solitude with a good book.

Meet Olivia Dandapa
olivia is quiet but fierce.
don’t mess with her.
she is the queen of the “happiness heroes.”
the heroes make our pops, and there are no “happiness hustlers” and a lot less happiness throughout the land without pops.
we always find olivia drinking coke zero or some iced coffee; she may be a caffeine addict.
olivia is a natural at her job because she loves to cook and bake, even after she gets off work.
if you see her driving down the street with her husband, they are most likely jamming out to their favorite indonesian songs.
things that make olivia happy: going to the movies with her husband rendi (movies about space make her extra happy.) her cat opal is extra fluffy, kentucky basketball (we won’t tell anyone in mobile.) sleeping in on saturday. spending time with her friends and family, who mostly live far away. (she’s super loyal.)
we are thankful to have this strong woman on our team.
