A Himalayan Mother SCOBY entered GT Dave’s home back in 1993, about 20 years before kombucha started to grow as a wellness trend in the Western world. They started brewing their own fizzy, fermented tea… and, honestly, it was kinda weird at first. But when his mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer — and then beat that cancer — GT started to take a closer look at this ancient Eastern brew. And the more GT learned, the more he knew that he had to make kombucha more accessible to everyone, everywhere. 

GT first started brewing and bottling kombucha when he was only 15 years old, two years after they received that SCOBY, and this endeavor has since grown into the incredible GT’s Living Foods brand. They still brew and bottle the kombucha in the exact same way, though: small batches, allowing nature to do what it does best.

We learn all about this transformative experience in GT’s life, why he decided to drop out of high school (and why it was a good thing), how his unique spiritual upbringing has influenced the way he does business, and leaning into a path of service.
