In this episode, I interview Jared Graybeal, the Founder, and CEO of Superfit Foods based in Jacksonville, Florida. Superfit Foods is a meal prep company that empowers people to live happier and healthier lives. They specialized in health, wellness, and fitness- providing healthy food as well as food delivery convenient, affordable, and tasty experience. Jared Graybeal was a personal trainer and health club manager for 7 years. Superfit Foods was started in Lakeland, Florida in May of 2015 and expanded to Jacksonville in 2016. Grew 2 FTE to current 16 and 9 part-time drivers. A meal prep company has an average annual growth of 18% for the whole 5 years. And this year, they are aiming to reach 24% amidst a pandemic. One of the values for a fast-growing business is the passion imparted by the team to the business itself. And that’s what Jared Graybeal said: “You must build a team that’s passionate about the mission, a team with a growth mindset.” This Cast Covers: Success is measured in the people they reached. The hospitality of the customer service plays a big part of the marketing offer. How standard operating procedures prevent unnecessary events. Reading good business books and applying the principles on how to build a company. The importance of creating an operating agreement from day one of starting the business. Part of growing a business is sticking to the values and pursuing the mission. Helping other people live happy lives and become healthier. Building a team with passion and a growth mindset.
