We recently connected with Shay McCrommon and have shared our conversation below.
Shay, appreciate you joining us today. What was the most important lesson/experience you had in a job that has helped you as a business owner?
Subject: Learning from Experience at the American Red Cross to Benefit Your Business Flavors on Flavors
As someone who has spent 17 fulfilling years working for the American Red Cross, I have gained invaluable lessons and experiences that have shaped me both professionally and personally. My role involved providing essential support to people in need, ranging from organizing blood transfusions to preparing nourishing meals with my unique flavors.
One of the most important lessons I learned during my time at the American Red Cross was the significance of consistency and dedication in helping others. The joy that comes from making a difference in someone’s life, be it through a simple act of kindness or a lifesaving transfusion, is immeasurable. I have seen firsthand the impact that compassion and unwavering commitment can have on individuals facing challenging circumstances.
Drawing blood and cooking delicious meals were not just tasks for me; they were opportunities to connect with people and provide comfort during their times of need. These experiences have taught me the power of empathy, resilience, and the value of going above and beyond to support those in need.
I believe that these lessons are universal and can be applied to various aspects of business ownership. By prioritizing consistency, empathy, and quality in your interactions with customers or clients, you can create lasting relationships and make a positive impact in your community.
I encourage you to draw inspiration from my experiences at the American Red Cross and integrate these principles into your own business endeavors. Together, we can continue to make a difference and uplift those around us.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Shay McCrommon, and I am thrilled to share a bit about myself and my journey . For 17 years, I have been dedicated to serving with the American Red Cross, where my passion for helping others has truly flourished.
Outside of work, I find joy in pursuing my hobbies, which include skating, cooking, and spending quality time with my family. Recently, I embarked on a new chapter in my life by marrying my beloved wife, Stacy McCrommon, on December 12, 2021. Together, we share our love with our two adorable fur babies who bring endless happiness to our home.
In 2021, I ventured into the world of entrepreneurship and founded Flavors on Flavors Catering Business. Cooking has been a lifelong passion of mine, starting at a young age of seven. I take great pride in creating nutritious and delicious meals that not only satisfy the palate but also leave a lasting memory for those who indulge in them.
One of the things that drive me in my culinary endeavors is my love for a challenge and the opportunity to engage in open communication with others. I believe that through my craft, I can not only create food but also weave together moments that bring people closer together in laughter and enjoyment.
I am most proud of my resilience and determination to pursue my dreams, even in the face of adversity. Every event, big or small, presents a canvas for me to work with, and I derive immense satisfaction from seeing the smiles on people’s faces as they enjoy the dishes I prepare.
In conclusion, I am grateful for the opportunity to share a glimpse of my journey with you.
Warm regards,
Shay McCrommon
