What It's Like To Be... - An Ice Cream Truck Driver

Transcript

Dan Heath: Erin Bailey is an ice cream truck driver.
Erin Bailey: When I started this, I was 27 years old. I had no business background. I had no idea what I was doing. It was kinda like a hobby, I guess, to start. And I was kind of miserable at my job, so I was like, all right, you know, if I can just do something to kind of offset my living expenses, and maybe I can do this.
Dan Heath: She found an old school bus, and with some help, she turned it into an ice cream truck.
