Sam Kass almost became a pro baseball player. Instead,
he pivoted a history major into becoming the private chef for the
Obamas in the White House. He then broke into national
nutrition policy and was named #11 on Fast Company
magazine's 2011 list of "100 Most Creative People" for his work,
which focused on establishing private-sector partnerships to
reduce childhood obesity to just 5% by 2030. His story is
amazing, his career turns are unexpected, and his trials by fire
are hilarious. In this conversation, we talk about: -
Baseball and the art of fielding - His odd leap to the culinary
world and his escapades in Austria - How he met the Obamas -
His favorite books, routines, and breakfast eggs - Simple cooking
tricks and common mistakes - Nutrition, top-soil depletion, and
organic food - Why he doesn’t like black pepper - And much, much
more... Show notes (links, resources, books, etc.) for this
