It's the seventh episode of the Purpose Summit Series here on the Stories from the River, and guest host Heather Greenwood welcomes Mboone Umbima to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Mboone shares how she and Davin, who she met at the Society for Hospitality and Food Service Management, realized they were both advocating for the same principle: taking care of people to ensure organizational success. Mboone, who is local to Charlotte, joined the Purpose Summit to mutually inspire and learn about the impact of purpose-driven business models. Just before this conversation, she had finished a breakout session where she discussed how her company, David Rio, integrates purpose, profit, and innovation by creating space for play and creativity. At David Rio, they anchor their brand mission in producing sustainably sourced chai and beverages while supporting wildlife conservation efforts, like their notable "Elephant Vanilla Chai" program that funds elephant preservation in Kenya.
Mboone's multifaceted career also extends to authorship and coaching. She outlines her published works, including the "29-Day Gratitude Challenge" journal and a "New Year Workbook" designed to help individuals reflect, let go of non-serving energies, and set focused intentions for the future. She also previews her upcoming book, "Who Moved My Comfort Zone," which explores methodologies for making successful life pivots. As a coach, she specializes in guiding individuals at career crossroads towards aligning with their passions. Reflecting on the Purpose Summit, Mboone shares her admiration for the event's supportive and positive environment and encourages individuals to extend beyond their comfort zones to achieve their desires.
