We had the good fortune of connecting with Elizabeth Shamon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elizabeth, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Our belief is chances make champions! Without risk, without faith and without courage – You will not overcome obstacles. Risks don’t have to be large and daring, they can be small and pay out large. Win or lose, risk means you are making a maximum effort. That will always pay off in the long run. I took a risk moving to Arizona and not knowing many people here, I took a risk on becoming a Doctor. I took a risk to start this meal prep business along with my other priorities and business. We try to minimize in life how many risks we take, But sometimes you are left with no choice but to take one!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Fuel Pump is a Meal Prep company! We specialize in curating meals and creating dishes that benefits all walks of life! We have unique recipes and we offer consulting to our clients who are looking for the right meal plan. We take pride in our dishes! Our meals are Doctor curated. A medical professional is consulting with you when you order to make sure you are eating right and getting what you need out of our options. Many in the industry give medical or nutritional advice without having the proper education and background, and not everybody’s diet is the same. So we make sure we consult with each client to maximize the meals they are getting.

The challenges we have to overcome is consistency and readiness. These are what separates a good business from a great one. Our job is to be consistent and deliver the best results, the best meals, and the best service every time. With any business, especially food, that’s what we focus on to make sure when our clients come back they know exactly what to expect everytime!

How we go about executing it is by creating a simple and efficient system. All it takes is connecting the dots and you will become efficient in cooking and creating.

I want the world to know is that we are serious about what we do and we take health seriously. This is not just slapping a Doctor tag on our brand and selling a name. We believe we have the best Meal Prep food on the market and we offer the best consulting as well. Fuel Pump is becoming more than just a meal prep brand, but a lifestyle one. We will be growing, expanding and creating new avenues in health and Meal Prep services. Creating new jobs and putting attention on the types of healthy foods that get you going for the day. This is for families, weight lifters,athletes, competitors, and the person looking to make lifestyle changes for the better. We welcome you with open arms and want to get you on the right path to success!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
When my friends or family touch down here in Arizona, first thing we do is head to Scottsdale! It has so much eatery and lots of shopping, It’s the first thing my friends and family want to do when they visit, Starting breakfast at Hash Kitchen in North Scottsdale for the vibes and drinks, Lunch at Hulas because they have unique Hawaiian flair and amazing appetizers, and Dinner at Kasai because the Teppanyaki is great and the experience as a group is always a time!

Some other honorable mentions and gems I show my family is Chanpen on Broadway in Phoenix. They have the best Thai food in the valley hands down. Monroe’s chicken is always a hit as well if you want something fast and delicious!

If we’re doing outdoors, We have to go to Sedona! So much sight seeing, Hiking and a relaxing atmosphere, it’s well worth the drive.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband Junior Shamon! Without him, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today, Through my time getting my Doctorates,working and getting my life started, he was with me every step of the way and helped build the foundation that we have together. I’m so appreciative everyday having him as my husband. He motivates me, helps me push my limits, and is inspiring in so many ways. He is the other half of Fuel Pump Meal Prep and we are truly a dream team! I love you babe!
