- Ben & Jerry's cofounder shares his advice for young people — and it's not to become an Uber driver
Ben & Jerry's cofounder Ben Cohen advises young people to pursue passion over financial gain, criticizes billionaires and the parent company's social values, and highlights the importance of purpose-driven work. He notes that Ben & Jerry's was sold to Unilever in 2000 and later spun off into The Magnum Ice Cream Company, which he believes is not upholding the brand's original social mission.
