The Smartest and Most Personalized Food App Available

Around a decade ago, during my time as a journalist at Forbes Magazine, I was approached by Michelle Newburgh, a PR specialist with 10FOLD. She wanted me to interview the CEO of a computer storage company. However, since storage wasn’t my area of expertise, I politely declined her offer.

To my surprise, shortly after declining the opportunity, UPS delivered a large package to my doorstep.

Inside the package was a broken drumhead.

Initially, I did not know what it was. It looked like an animal had jumped through a torn paper hoop at a circus.

Fortunately, another journalist who was skilled in music helped me identify the drumhead as belonging to an enthusiastic drummer.

Intrigued by this strange delivery and eager to uncover its purpose, I called the phone number that was written across the drumhead.

Michelle was on the other end of line once again pitching her idea about interviewing this CEO.

However, this time she presented me with new information: CEO Kevin Brown led an extraordinary and fulfilling life outside of his executive role in both music and cooking.

This fresh angle fit perfectly into my Forbes Video Series titled Personal Best.

Brown would prepare exceptional group meals and music in order to entice potential investors and partners into attending discussions about his business ventures.

Intrigued by this unique approach and wanting firsthand experience for myself, I invited myself along for one such event and offered to assist in the cooking process alongside him for a large gathering of hungry individuals from Silicon Valley.

The video that we created about Brown and his gourmet talents was one among several that we submitted for consideration in the Emmy Awards.

Our Personal Best series received a nomination in the San Francisco Bay Area thanks in part to Kevin Brown’s incredible story.

Storage Company To Food Business

However, his story becomes even more remarkable because he has now transformed his passion for food into his profession, making his business skills just as captivating as his gourmet creations.

It’s perfect timing for his business called INNIT, an innovative food transformation company.

Why?

The Problem With Food

Insufficient nourishment results in 20% of deaths worldwide (INHME) and contributes to a range of chronic illnesses.
