<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nRather than how most businesses are created in the venture of capital, Breathe was built on the basis of a non-profit organization, Dialog Ministries, and is a solution to what McGinnis sees as the world\u2019s biggest problem right now – connecting with others.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McGinnis was originally in college pastoral ministry, but struggled with the traditional lecture and listen church environment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKids are in school all day being lectured to, the last thing they want to do after school is be lectured to some more,\u201d he said. \u201cI felt like the conventional church conditions weren\u2019t allowing me to do what I sought out to do which was to teach people how to interact with each other and create opportunities based off of those connections.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted to create a safe place for people of all walks of life to share their concerns, comments, and questions face to face. I wanted anyone and everyone to feel comfortable walking through the door and bridge those gaps in society,\u201d McGinnis continued. \u201cPeople don’t have the chance to just sit and talk anymore. They\u2019d rather \u2018interact\u2019 on social media, computers, or cell phones. The worst of it is when two people disagree on something, they take to the internet and bash each other on social media instead of embracing the differences.\u201d Taking all of those wants into consideration, McGinnis had to figure out what he could create that could possibly achieve all the goals he had set. Breathe Coffee House was the answer. \u201cI decided coffee was the best way to connect a diverse group of people. Whether you\u2019re 27 or 72, rich or poor, from near or far, you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee,\u201d he said. \u201cIn order for people to find their friends and community, the coffee house needed to produce really really good coffee and generate a cool place to hang out.\u201d As for the menu at Breathe, contrary to popular belief, it’s not all coffee. McGinnis expands on this saying there is a little bit of something for everyone saying this summer the basic lattes, bizarre menu and newly added crepes have been a crowd favorite. \u201cWe also have summer drinks like the fresh squeezed lemonade and there will be new food coming out in August – new crepes and new scones – so keep an eye out for those items.\u201d
