938: David Sloan Managing Partner at Venture Kitchen

<p>David Sloan is a Managing Partner at <a href= "https://www.venturekitchen.co/">Venture Kitchen</a>. He is also the former CEO and Founder of <a href= "https://www.nafnafgrill.com/">Naf Naf Grill</a>. David started a financial career soon after school and built it up for 10 years. One day around 2010, while driving through Chicago, David saw a restaurant specializing in shawarma falafel, a food he had enjoyed with his family while living and traveling in Paris as a kid. It was the best shawarma he had ever tasted, so he asked the owner if he wanted a partnership, and a partnership was formed. The restaurant was called Naf Naf and it was in a "hole in the wall" location. With the newfound partnership, David and his partners built out a new location for Naf Naf, changed the name to Naf Naf grill, and opened 6-7 months after leaving the old location. Naf Naf Grill was instantly popular and a second location opened roughly a year after the first. a third location followed just a few months later. Today, Naf Naf Grill has 38 locations. David also opened <a href="https://www.theinvicto.com/">Taqueria Invicto</a>, a Mexican restaurant. He also started a charity organization looking to solve child hunger, called <a href= "https://www.onefeedstwo.org/">One Feeds Two</a>, which has provided now over 20 million meals to hungry kids.</p> <h2>Show notes…</h2> <h3>Calls to ACTION!!!</h3> <ul> <li>Join <a href= "https://www.restaurantunstoppablenetwork.com/plans/47357?bundle_token=17a3bdca1ccbc19303dff68d05df5ab2&utm_source=manual">Restaurant Unstoppable Network</a> and get your first 30 days on me!  Connect with my past guest and a community of superfans.</li> <li>Subscribe to the <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJSERtxnAE3V7T9PQ19w_Og">Restaurant Unstoppable YouTube Channel</a></li> <li>Join the private <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/493649961457862/">Unstoppable Facebook Group</a></li> <li>Join the email list!
