One Scoop at a Time with Ricky Dickson

Feb 17, 2026 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts Ricky Dickson—author of the bestselling book “One Scoop at a Time” and the retired President and CEO of Blue Bell Ice Cream.

Tune in to hear Ricky tell the “first scoop” story that started it all, why Blue Bell’s growth was built on patience and protecting quality, and how his faith shaped his leadership through both success and crisis. Listen as Ricky also opens up about writing his book—why he started before retirement, what was hardest to put on paper, and the “gold medal” message he hopes readers carry with them: turning fear into faith, one step at a time.
