We were lucky to catch up with David Mcgarity recently and have shared our conversation below.
David, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with education – we’d love to hear your thoughts about how we can better prepare students for a more fulfilling life and career
I believe the educational system is definitely missing the importance of nutritional value. How it plays such a key factor to driving and motivating kids daily task and activities. The meal plan or set regimen for these institutions are not being held at the standard as they should. Most kids are dealing with fatigue, depression, sleepless days, memory and cognitive impairment due to lack of nutrition. The solution would be to expose that this is a problem and re-allocate funds that would cover meals with better sources of nutrition. Doing this would make kids more involved and engage so that they are positioned for greater success.
David, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I could say dealing with food, it’s a tough market when we are up against an inflated economy and other contributing factors that affect the way you run a business financially. Through the highs and lows, the things that you see in front of you and the things that you don’t see around the corner are the things that make business somewhat a risk at times. That’s when you have to really be resilient in trusting the process and accepting the change. One must possess a high level of passion to surpass the element of fear and risk of possibly losing it all. Having a passion and the love for what you do is always worth the risk. Sometimes you just have to risk it for the biscuit….
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Pivoting in business is like making an adjustment. It’s knowing when something either works or doesn’t work and if so, making the adjustment to make it work. Whether it’s having AC unit with mechanical problems or small
tax question that you may have with your local CPA. It’s all about gaining more understanding and knowledge. We will only get better and not worse by implementing change when it is necessary.
