Jeanine Lobell traces her success to a day out with her father in her native Sweden when she was a teenager. “We were walking together on the street, and he pointed to this little hot-dog vendor,” she says of her father, who supported her artistic endeavors from an early age. “He explained that nobody was telling the man to spread the mustard just so for maximum productivity, that he owned that hot-dog stand,” she says. “He said, ‘Honey, you need to get your own hot-dog stand.’”
