Internship Application

Our mission is the proliferation of food-as-medicine to advance health, wellness, athletics, happiness, and longevity for humanity. We are a privately-held for-profit social enterprise and our pursuit to profit with a purpose in an indellible tenet.

We get to change the world in other ways along our journey and our founders have been actively engaged in mentorship, sponsorship, and coaching of young women and men for over 40 years. We are always learning and improving and our mission with interns is to expose them to experiences and people they would otherwise likely never see. In doing so, they have the opportunity to earn a place in our world of influence. It is a costly and time consuming endeavor and we expect our interns to work just as hard as we do to over-deliver on their promises. There is no monetary compensation for your participation, however we reward exceptional performance in several ways which may include equity, cash, or other valuable consideration. This will be an inflection point in your life if you cause it to be. If you are accepted into our Internship Program, you will be required to sign a comprehensive non-disclosure and non-compete document along with our Internship Tenets. This internship is not a classroom exercise. You should not apply unless you are comfortable receiving an ambiguous assignment, figuring out a path forward, producing a useful first draft, and improving it quickly with feedback. We are looking for self-starters who can work alone, take initiative, and over-deliver without waiting to be told every step.We welcome your application and look forward to talking with you.
