Vaughan is a restaurateur and entrepreneur who has experience working with a variety of businesses. He’s also family man who is energized by spending time with his wife and son. Although these two aspects of his life could come in conflict, Vaughan is a better, more thoughtful person because of that balance of work and family. Throughout the interview, he talks about how his routines have shifted and changed because spending time with his family has become an essential priority in his life. One of the qualities that most struck me during my conversation with Vaughan is that he is endlessly positive in his interactions with others and in his self-talk.  

You can connect with Vaughan on his Instagram @VaughanDugan or by checking out some of his restaurants: Pizza Fusion, Kapow! Noodle Bar, and Shaker and Pie (all of which are seriously delicious).
