Testimonials
What our clients are saying about their work with Feast Over Famine…
IVANDALE
We connected with Ryan Mehaffey and the Feast Over Famine team in the Fall of 2021 to assist with the re-positioning of our pastors’ retreat development project on an historic farm outside of Washington, DC. Previously, we had received significant interest on our vision and mission, but when the time came for folks to make financial commitments, the interest seemed to drop…
Over 4-5 strategy calls, Ryan took the time to better understand our heart, vision, and business and helped us build a concise pitch deck that clearly articulated what we had been missing all this time. Within the first few weeks of releasing the deck to the market, we completed over 1/3 of our capital raise from multiple lenders, partnered with OneHeart DC (one of the largest Gospel-focused ministry groups in our area), and had one of our lead supporters offer to host a fundraiser at his country club. Thank you Feast Over Famine for everything!
- Scott J. Muchow, Managing Director of Ivandale
GoodTurn Cycles
Before working with Feast over Famine, GoodTurn Cycles was at a turning point in our operation. We had proven the concept of our organization, found our legs in our industry and were showing signs of prospering. Having felt like the "start-up" phase was behind us, we wanted to get intentional and organized about the long term strategy of GoodTurn. That is where Ryan and his team at Feast Over Famine, came into play. Throughout the entire process of defining our long term strategy, they remained very client focused, accessible, and flexible. Working with Feast Over Famine felt very much like a partnership, and I felt like they truly had my organization's best interest in mind. They came to the table with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the world of social enterprises and shared that information freely.

Families Of Character
One of our board members suggested we hire Feast Over Famine to help us with some strategic planning. We had to pivot quickly because of COVID and move 100% to digital marketing. We are a Non-Profit organization that helps parents develop character in their kids. Much of our business had come from working with churches and schools.
Ryan explained the four phases he would take our board, associates, and organization through to help define and redefine our immediate and long term strategies. He spent many hours at all levels asking questions and guiding us through his process. We had very positive outcomes with defining our branding and marketing, prioritizing our product development, helping us define the roles and responsibilities, setting immediate and long range outcome goals, developing a budget and a dashboard to measure success. Hiring Feast Over Famine was the right thing for us at the right time.
- Steve Markel, CEO & Founder of Families Of Character
Camel culture
We have been so blessed by the tremendous asset they have been to our company's growth and my personal growth. We were confused as to whether or not we should just start a Non-Profit to handle the social aspect of our business, but we were blown away when we began to see how our social impact can actually be greater through the growth of our business when done well. After 3.5 months of working with them, we have grown leaps and bounds, not only in our revenue, but also in our vision, mission, goal setting, and growth of our team. We are so thankful for the wisdom, encouragement, and consultation of Feast Over Famine.
