Memphis’ Real-Life Willy Wonka: Phillip Ashley Chocolates

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it is seemingly fitting to welcome CEO & Founder of Phillip Ashley Chocolates, Phillip Ashley Rix. Not only has Phillip earned two James Beard Award semi-finalist nominations, been dubbed as Forbes real-life Willy Wonka, but his chocolates have also been added to Oprah’s Favorite Things list in 2020. Listen to Phillip’s journey about how a single 3 AM thought motivated him to become a self-taught master chocolatier and to now curate gifts for Hollywood’s elite at the Emmys, Grammys and Oscars.

 

Proudly hosted by the Fogelman College of Business & Economics at the University of Memphis, the Business in Blue podcast aims to highlight success stories, expert advice, and of course, all things business in Memphis.
