Layla Dierdorff: [00:00:28] Hi, welcome to Kid Biz Radio. I’m Layla.

Austyn Guest: [00:00:31] And I’m Austyn,

Layla Dierdorff: [00:00:32] And today we have an awesome guest with us in the studio, Joseph with Pitt Stop.

Joseph Pittman: [00:00:36] How are you guys doing today? Yeah, like she said, my name is, uh, Joseph Pittman, and my business is the Pitt Stop ice cream truck.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:00:43] Thank you so much for being with us today. Um, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your business?

Joseph Pittman: [00:00:49] Uh, sure. Uh, my business started, I would say about three, 3 to 4 years ago. It’s, uh, it does novelty ice cream. I sell like, the the characters, like the Powerpuff Girls. Spongebob. Yeah. All things that are all the rage. All the kids want. Yeah, I’m in the military. I’ve been in the military six years now, and it’s a family business. It’s me, my wife, and. The rest of my team is like my my daughters. They’re like the the mascots almost. You see them, you see them in the pictures, pictures on our social media and also my parents and my wife’s parents. They help with like inventory and things like that.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:01:28] So complete family business.

Joseph Pittman: [00:01:30] Exactly. Nice team effort.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:01:33] Yes. Yeah. Um, so can you tell us a little bit about how you got started? Like from the very like I have an idea to where it is now, so.

Joseph Pittman: [00:01:42] The business got started. I was I came home from uh, from from from from service and I was I was no longer active. I was switching over to the reserve role. And this is when, uh, Covid was just starting to become on the rage. So, uh, nobody, nobody was really hiring. Yeah. And so. My wife actually found something on Craigslist of a in downtown Atlanta. People. There was like a part time you can like rent an ice cream truck and you basically work on percentage. Um, I would get like 30% of, of my sales. And so I went there. Yeah. So went down there and it was a total. Uh, excuse my French crap show. Yeah, yeah. Um, the trucks were not to talk bad in other businesses, but the trucks were really run down. Some trucks didn’t even have a steering wheel. You were.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:02:37] Oh, my God, I feel like that’s kind of necessary.

Joseph Pittman: [00:02:41] Yeah, yeah. I mean, you would. You would think so.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:02:42] You think? Yeah.

Joseph Pittman: [00:02:45] Um, no, no. Ac um, some of the trucks were shut down. You’d be driving, uh, 60 on the highway, and all of a sudden, choo choo choo choo choo.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:02:52] Oh, terrifying. And they only give you 30%. Exactly.

Joseph Pittman: [00:02:57] I mean, if it rained, you got 35.

Austyn Guest: [00:03:01] Oh, wow. Still.

Joseph Pittman: [00:03:02] But I was bringing home around like. I was bringing them around 3 to $400 a day, but I was making I was barely, barely making anything off of that. And I was just thinking to myself, I was like, I can do this a lot better.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:03:17] Maybe with a working truck.

Joseph Pittman: [00:03:19] Exactly. Exactly. And so. Going off. My me and my wife. Me and my wife talked. Wait till the next year. Then we we looked we looked on online and we found a truck. Mhm. Uh, we we got the truck. It was a already kind of kind of pre built ice cream truck. But we put our own little twist on it. We tricked it out. Uh did a better speaker system a better coat of paint. Um we switched out the inside, gutted out all the, all the seats and everything. Put some freezers in there, put some, uh, a little a little table table for, like, uh, for drinks and drinks and whatnot. And, um, it sort of it just, it just kept blossoming and kept building, and it is what it is today. Um, you’ll notice me driving around. I’m not like most ice cream trucks with, like, the creepy ice cream music.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:04:09] Yeah, it’s it’s actually really.

Austyn Guest: [00:04:11] I never realized how some of them are a little creepy until I got older.

Joseph Pittman: [00:04:14] Yeah, it’s like, I don’t want to send my kid there. It seems kind of a little.

Austyn Guest: [00:04:18] It’s a little off.

Joseph Pittman: [00:04:19] It’s a little scary. And so I modernized it a little bit, put a little flavor on it.

Austyn Guest: [00:04:23] A little, spice it up a little bit.

Joseph Pittman: [00:04:25] And so now you’ll notice the, the hip hop, uh, it’s like a hip hop remix to the, to the ice cream song.

Austyn Guest: [00:04:31] That’s a little more comforting.

Joseph Pittman: [00:04:32] Exactly. Makes you bop, bop your head makes the parents come and want to dance with the kids. So it really puts a smile on people’s faces. And, um. Yeah. It just sort of just kept, kept, kept building and building. My wife has, has had previous business business experience. She used to own a cleaning company. So she, she helps out with the, the the the background of it, like with the um with managing, managing the funds. My father in law, he’s retired and he helps us. It actually helped him out a bunch because he was he’s a retired vet, but he, he he couldn’t fully retire. He was working for a auto shop standing up like six hours a day. He’s he’s in his upper 70s.

Austyn Guest: [00:05:16] So yeah, that’s not a lot. Yeah. Back was.

Joseph Pittman: [00:05:18] Always hurting. And so we wanted to make it give him a job that was a lot easier on him and that that paid a lot more. So he was happy to to switch things over. Yeah. I mean, I think it really started when my daughter said she wanted ice cream and pointed at a pointed it pointed at a truck. And that’s how we got the idea, the idea of it, which led to the craziness which led to led to this, which led to now.

Austyn Guest: [00:05:41] Yeah. That’s how, uh, my first one started. We went to get, uh, old time photos up in. We were in some pigeon forge, right? I think we were in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and we went to get old time photos, and we’re like, hey, this would be really cool if this was a mobile thing. Like, you go, you have this in like a trailer and you go to people and get old time photos. Obviously, we didn’t start with that because that costs a lot more money than we thought it did, but we ended up getting like a trailer and we were going to turn it into a mobile photo booth and things kind of snowballed from there.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:06:13] So eventually, hopefully, hopefully timey photos.

Austyn Guest: [00:06:15] That yes, eventually.

Austyn Guest: [00:06:17] Yeah.

Joseph Pittman: [00:06:17] Awesome. That’s awesome.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:06:19] So, um, what are you doing? I guess, to help your business succeed. Like, what are you doing for marketing? Advertising?

Joseph Pittman: [00:06:29] Word of mouth?

Layla Dierdorff: [00:06:30] Thank you. Sorry. Word of mouth.

Joseph Pittman: [00:06:32] Um, so I came up with the the business plan when we were. When we were first starting, we started off with using, like, Instagram, basically just different types of social media. And to, to really get our name out there, um, we offered a kind of almost like a competition where not really a competition, but if the, if the customer took a picture with our truck and did like a nice little caption and tagged us in it at the end of the month, they had a chance to win. Like a free weeks of free weeks of worth of ice cream basically. So they call us up. Oh you won! We give them a code if they either see us around or they would call us to their house and I would give them give them some free.

Austyn Guest: [00:07:12] Yeah.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:07:13] That’s awesome.

Joseph Pittman: [00:07:14] And the the following just kept kept blowing, kept blowing up, blowing up, blowing up. And now it’s, it’s it’s no longer we have to say oh take a picture with us. It’s people rushing up and saying, okay, can we take a picture with you guys or we would love to have you here. Yeah.

Austyn Guest: [00:07:29] Yeah. I know we’ve had uh, we’ve had you had a couple of our events and pictures are happening constantly. Yes.

Joseph Pittman: [00:07:36] Yeah. It’s always great to see you guys at the Expos. It’s just a bunch of smiling faces and the.

Austyn Guest: [00:07:42] Kids running around.

Joseph Pittman: [00:07:42] Exactly. It’s controlled.

Austyn Guest: [00:07:47] Chaos.

Joseph Pittman: [00:07:47] Yes, that’s exactly yes.

Austyn Guest: [00:07:49] We have a lot of that going on in our house.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:07:51] So on this entrepreneurial journey, you say that you’re pretty successful, but what do you define success as?

Joseph Pittman: [00:07:59] That’s that’s a that’s a great question. I would say success comes in in in levels. First off, success obviously is is monetary. Is what you’re doing actually is bringing money and bringing money to the household. Are you able to take care of your family without actually making profit? Exactly. Profit. Profit is. Profit is really? Well, so monetary. And then another would be happiness. Am I happy doing my job? Do I, do I go out there? Am I am I dreading it or do I have a smile on my face? Am I looking forward to it? And luckily I have a job to where I go out there and I see. And basically I just see smiling faces and people are excited to see me. So the energy just is uplifting almost. And then the parents, you get a real rapport with the parents and then they’re like, oh, you’re this. This is my favorite thing to hear. It’s like, oh, it’s finally nice to not me to meet a non-creepy ice cream.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:08:52] Yeah, yeah. It’s like so welcoming.

Austyn Guest: [00:08:55] It really is.

Joseph Pittman: [00:08:56] And so that puts a smile on my face because that’s that’s what I was going for. Yeah.

Austyn Guest: [00:09:01] It’s nice to have that option.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:09:02] Yeah.

Joseph Pittman: [00:09:03] So that’s, that’s, that’s very, um that’s very what’s the word I’m looking for.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:09:08] Important?

Joseph Pittman: [00:09:09] Yeah,thank you. Thank you.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:09:11] You’re welcome.

Joseph Pittman: [00:09:11] Very important. Um, also, um, I would say generational wealth, basically. Um, I’m building something that for my, my daughters can take over with if they, if they so choose to do so. Um, so when it comes to their time to go into the business business world or if they, if they, if they pursue that, they have something to either look at as a, as kind of like an example or just something they can jump right into and then start having success of their own.

Austyn Guest: [00:09:41] So obviously you’ve had quite the long journey in many steps to it. Are there any maybe regrets you have about how you went about starting your business?

Joseph Pittman: [00:09:51] I wouldn’t say anything to regret any regrets because even even a failure is just a lesson in disguise. Mhm. Um, because you might have a downfall or a setback, but it’s something that you, that you learned from so that you, it doesn’t happen in the future. Um, and it’s just like, like every, every step, every step of the way is just like it’s, it’s a learning experience. And so it really puts him puts it in perspective.

Joseph Pittman: [00:10:17] Tongue teaser, puts in perspective how lucky you are to be able to actually pursue like have your own having your own business because it’s not an easy thing to do. People fail at it every day, and once you have the building blocks to really continue to continue to build and continue to expand and continue to grow, it just it’s a blessing. It’s really.

Austyn Guest: [00:10:40] There have definitely been, um, personally for me, many learning experiences with mine because as I said, it was a mobile photo booth and now we’re slowly pivoting it, pivoting it into a mobile like refreshment experience. So it definitely took a turn. And there have been many lessons to learn with that.

Joseph Pittman: [00:10:58] So and that’s great because not not only are you improving your business, your business is also evolving to steps that might not have been the plan with at first.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:11:06] Yeah. Um, so do you have any advice for any aspiring entrepreneurs?

Joseph Pittman: [00:11:11] I would say, uh, don’t give up. Um, there will be roadblocks. Um, it’ll be it’ll be hard. Um hum. Um, but at the end of the day, if you if you stick with it, you’ll it’ll be rewarding. And. What you reap, what you sow. So whatever you put into it is what you receive. If you go in half heartedly, half heartedly thinking that, oh, this is easy, or I can just do this when I feel like it. Mhm.

Austyn Guest: [00:11:36] That’s not going to get anything.

Joseph Pittman: [00:11:37] Not going to get anywhere. But if you go in there nose to the Bridgestone with a, with a fire, fire in your stomach and you just got you just on go.

Austyn Guest: [00:11:47] It’s you. So it will be worth it. Exactly.

Joseph Pittman: [00:11:50] World’s your oyster. Yeah.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:11:51] So we’ve talked a lot about the past and the past and the present. Let’s talk about the future. Um, do you have any future goals for your business?

Joseph Pittman: [00:11:58] Oh, definitely.

Austyn Guest: [00:11:59] I feel like everybody has to have at least one.

Joseph Pittman: [00:12:02] Yeah.

Joseph Pittman: [00:12:02] If you if you don’t have a tier list of of goals, whether it’s small to, to large or a five year plan, then I don’t see your business really going anywhere because you’re not really thinking about the future. Mhm. Um, I would definitely say that one is to continue expanding the amount of trucks that I have to, I would say to at least at least five different trucks.

Austyn Guest: [00:12:25] How many trucks do you have?

Joseph Pittman: [00:12:26] Just I just have the one. Just the flagship right now. Um, I have trucks that are being built. Okay. For the for the future once I have a location to build it on. So finding finding a location to to put to put my trucks on. Yeah. Expanding to get to get more trucks. Yeah. Um, continuing to, to build a brand to where people are excited to. Oh. Or there’s word of mouth out there saying, oh, that’s a reputable company or the people that work there. The family that works there are great and lost my train of thought. ADHD

Austyn Guest: [00:13:01] Happens all the time, don’t worry.

Joseph Pittman: [00:13:15] Boom! So, finally finding a plot of land to build my trucks on multitude of trucks, building a brand. And to eventually get to the point where I want. I want to be on rival rival with rivalry with, with uh, with, I would say Kona to where there’s a oh wow, a bunch of pit stops and being franchised to to to like different cities, different different states and they stay on the third. I’ve actually had people that have came and saw how how I do business and have asked about about franchising, but I believe it’s, it’s it’s too early.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:13:51] Because that’ll take some steps.

Joseph Pittman: [00:13:52] Yeah, exactly. If I just rush into it, it could be bad for the brand.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:13:56] Franchise takes time.

Joseph Pittman: [00:13:57] Yeah. So I’m continuing continuing to do the research and to find out, um, how to how to do it perfectly. And then once, once the, once the diagrams been perfected, then I’m we’re looking to definitely franchise it.

Austyn Guest: [00:14:12] Yeah.

Austyn Guest: [00:14:14] Okay. So have a bit of more deep thinking questions so you have time to answer. You can think about it. So if you had the attention of the whole world, everybody is listening to you, watching you, listening to what you are saying for five minutes. What would you say?

Joseph Pittman: [00:14:32] I would say. How you doing, world? This is Mr. Pitstop, aka Pit stop ice cream truck, I would say. Be ready because I’m coming. My family’s coming. The pit stop.

Austyn Guest: [00:14:46] We’re coming for you.

Joseph Pittman: [00:14:47] It’s coming to a neighborhood near you. And guess what? We’re bringing smiles. We’re bringing laughter. We’re bringing energy. We’re bringing ice cream.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:14:56] This is the best one so far.

Austyn Guest: [00:14:57] This is the best answer we’ve gotten.

Joseph Pittman: [00:14:59] Bringing ice cream. And guess what? It’s going to hit you in your soul. It’s going to bring up those nostalgic childhood memories that you had of chasing after that old school ice cream ice cream truck. And he he wouldn’t let you catch up. But when you finally caught up, you had smiles and you was like, out of breath, ha ha. But you had that. nickel. The ice cream was probably a nickel back then. You had that.

Austyn Guest: [00:15:22] It’s like $2 now.

Joseph Pittman: [00:15:23] $5 for some of them.

Austyn Guest: [00:15:25] Yeah. That’s true.

Joseph Pittman: [00:15:26] You got that nickel and you got that ice cream and you’re just so ecstatic. You take that first lick. And what is that joy. That’s what.

Austyn Guest: [00:15:35] That’s what pure happiness.

Joseph Pittman: [00:15:37] This is bringing to you. Happiness. This is actual joy, this nostalgia. It’s coming.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:15:42] Okay. I love the performance you gave us first.

Austyn Guest: [00:15:46] Best answer so far.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:15:47] Yeah, most people do something like, oh, chase after your dreams and you’re like, no, in AD, this is awesome. Not no hates anybody’s answers. You’ve all had very good answers, but that was a performance right there.

Joseph Pittman: [00:16:00] That was me bowing. That’s my hat. Hit the. Hit the mic. My bad.

Austyn Guest: [00:16:03] You’re good. You’re totally good.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:16:04] Okay. If you woke up tomorrow without your business, what would your first steps be? To recovery if you chose to recover?

Joseph Pittman: [00:16:13] Um, it would definitely be starting a, like a game plan. Starting start. Have my big goals. But first start off with my my small goals. And once I once you achieve the small goals, it’ll eventually start snowballing into. Your larger goals come into play and.

Austyn Guest: [00:16:32] It comes in domino effect.

Joseph Pittman: [00:16:33] Exactlyl So I would start off, um, probably not on Craig’s List this time.

Austyn Guest: [00:16:38] Yeah.

Joseph Pittman: [00:16:39] I would, uh, I would start with, um, looking looking looking around at my, my, my target audience seeing, seeing if there is a market for what I’m bringing. And people are having kids every day.

Austyn Guest: [00:16:54] Yeah, there’s always a market for ice cream. Everybody loves ice.

Joseph Pittman: [00:16:56] Cream. Ice cream. It’s for the young, young and the old. So I would I would find find the community and just do do what we did before start, start small and continue to grow.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:17:07] Yeah I like that a lot. That’s very good.

Austyn Guest: [00:17:08] Okay. Now that we’ve done deeper questions we’re gonna do a quick this or that answer as fast as you can. So so quickly.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:17:18] Okay. Cats or dogs?

Joseph Pittman: [00:17:21] If you if you don’t have a bow wow in your bed. What are you. What are you doing? If you if you don’t have if you don’t have a little. Oh look at look look look look at that shoe. And look it into your soul. And just saying I will be there. I’m your best friend because a cat will turn on you. I had a cat back in my day. Ten years old. Black cat name was Gideon. So one day I’m over there. Pat Gideon trying to create a soul tie. What does he do? He scratches me, and I still have that scratched. Look at that. Still have that still there. That is my reminder to say cat dogs are better than cats. Never forgot you, Gideon. I have choice words for you if we ever meet again. But definitely dogs. Dogs for sure.

Layla Dierdorff: [00:18:06] Okay. Spider-man or Batman?

It allows you to have more of an imagination to where you can put you. It’s not, it’s not. It doesn’t confine you movies. It’s like, hey, here it is. Books is imagination.
