Douglas Bouton left a six-figure job as a corporate lawyer to help build Halo Top Creamery, which makes pint-sized ice cream with fewer than 360 calories.

Bouton, the startup’s president and chief operating officer, didn’t have experience in the food and beverage industry or a back-up plan if things went south. But Bouton took the risk and helped to build a brand that now tops $350 million in annual sales. The startup also took the second spot on the LinkedIn Top Startups list: lnkd.in/dhd7zri

Bouton shares his story of how he got here with Senior News Editor Maya Pope-Chappell, from taking a leap of faith to overcoming setbacks.
