League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Life isn’t without challenges and what separates high achievers from the rest of us is an ephemeral attribute that few of us rarely cultivate with determined intentionality: resilience. Defined as the ability to recover easily and quickly from illness, hardship, or setbacks, Psychology Today describes it as “that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes.”

Indeed, social entrepreneur and CEO of Eat Just Josh Tetrick can be counted among that “some people”. An award-winning varsity football player at West Virginia University, Tetrick pivoted from a potential football career after some serious personal revelations came to light, working on social campaigns and initiatives like teaching street children across Africa.

August Man was privileged to spend a morning with the irrepressible entrepreneur, discussing the world’s most pressing problems and his indomitable drive to solve its most immediate problem: the global food supply.
