The New Story: An Open Letter to all those who share a vision of a World in Flow.
Back in 2009, I was a slave to the system, my dreams dying as I chased the carrot of what culture called "success". I made a decision to stop chasing money and validation... and instead explore higher meaning. I followed the flow... and eventually learned to enough from nature wisdom holders and raw experience to re-imagine what success really is and to flow as life flows. 5 years later, in 2014 I launched Flowstate to go all-in, keep learning and to share learnings with anyone who cared to listen. Now, on this 4 year anniversary of Flowstate... it's time to honour a new calling: 100% commitment to supporting impact driven business founders who are in service to people and planet.

It's my pleasure to introduce a Wild Human: Fouad Kassab is a whole-foods chef and author of The Food Blog. He's a man who understands what living in flow is all about, and how we can re-connect to our wild ways to achieve this. This podcast interview is a wonderful insight to the power of food on our lives, and an amazing story of overcoming challenges and finding a better way to live. Growing up in a war-torn Lebanon, Fouad spent his formative years dodging bombs and feeding on food rations. As a youth he had a range of auto-immune diseases, was overweight and extremely unhealthy. So he was pumped with antibiotics and had a diet dependant on international aid, heavy with highly refined flour, sugar and skim milk powder. After moving to Australia he continued to battle health issues. Medical practitioners continued to offer no other options but to take endless rounds of medication. Fouad began an inner journey to health. He began exploring more natural ways of healing, with food as his medicine. In 2011 he lost 34 kilos, healed many chronic illnesses and greatly reduced symptoms of lingering ailments. He now helps others water the seed of wildness, create a relationship with food and nature, and by doing so... heal the wounds that separate us from our true selves.
