On this episode, Tracy interviews local McDonald’s owner David Costa Jr., who has been in the business since age 23 and now operates 19 restaurants with his father. They discuss an unusual partnership in which David offered to pay for Stay Fit Mom macro coaching for any managers who chose to participate, emphasizing the program was based on effort and adherence rather than weight-loss results. Some participants lost 25+ pounds and reported life-changing mindset and health improvements.

He also shares upcoming projects including a new Panama City Beach location, a leadership book about getting “unstuck,” and his wife’s Costa Union Club concept.
