Everybody's Got to Eat. Everybody Goes Through Stuff.
Bring EYF to Your Organization
Everybody's got to eat. Everybody goes through stuff.
That's not just a tagline. That's the whole idea.
Eat Your Feelings started in a kitchen. Two guys, a stove, some cast iron, and an agreement to stop pretending everything was fine. Turns out when you give people something to do with their hands, they start saying things they wouldn't say anywhere else.
We've taken that same idea — food as the permission structure for real conversation — and built it into experiences for organizations, teams, and events. Not a ropes course. Not a trust fall. Something that actually works.
Cory Brown is an Army veteran, the creator and host of Eat Your Feelings, and a professor of political management at George Washington University. Sam Nathews is his co-host and the guy in the kitchen who keeps things honest. Together they've built something at the intersection of food, resilience, and human connection — and they bring all of it into every room they walk into.
OUR THREE OFFERINGS
The Talk
A keynote built around what it actually takes to keep showing up. Cory draws from his time in the Army, his transition back to civilian life, and what building EYF taught him about resilience, purpose, and the conversations we're all avoiding. Works as a conference keynote, ERG event, leadership offsite opener, or standalone speaker engagement.
Available for half-day and full-day events.
The Cooking Experience
Get your team in a kitchen. Make something together. Let the real conversation happen.
The EYF cooking experience brings the format of the show to your organization — hands-on, unscripted, and built around the idea that the best conversations happen sideways, not face to face. No culinary skills required. No agenda beyond showing up.
Available for groups of 10 to 50. Works for corporate offsites, team building days, and organizational retreats.
The Full Day
The talk in the morning. The kitchen in the afternoon.
A complete day built around connection, resilience, and the kind of conversation that actually changes something. Designed for leadership retreats, multi-day events, and organizations ready to go deeper than a single session.
