David Taylor is on a mission to change how people fuel up in the mornings. His company, Mobius Nutrition, has launched what I like to call the “breakfast of entrepreneurial champions.” It’s a breakfast shake that is extremely nutritious and convenient for entrepreneurs and anyone else with a busy lifestyle who needs a great kick-start to their morning with minimal effort. (Check the Show Links below for a discount code to try Mobius Breakfast.)
David is the founder and president of Mobius Nutrition. Born in Alberta, Canada, he attended Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. It was while he was in school that he found a passion for health and fitness and began leading workouts with his fellow students.
After graduating in May 2013, David began work as a consulting engineer in the food and beverage industry, where he saw first-hand how modern processed food is made. He soon after realized his true passion lay in helping people maintain a healthy and optimal lifestyle. During the fall of 2013 he reached out to his college friend Michael, and along with his wife, Megan, the three of them founded Mobius.
