How Eating Take Out Food Changed Michael Wystrach’s Life

how eating take out food changed michael wystrachs life feastly
I am Michael Wystrach, CEO and Founder of Freshly. I actually started Freshly by accident. I had just finished a two-year investment banking stint working 16-hour days, and I was horribly unhealthy. I was hitting the gym hard but not seeing results. A good family friend told me I needed to focus on my diet. I had no desire to learn about nutrition or cook. I am more of a take-out guy, but I came up with a solution. I had him design a menu for me, and then I had the cooks at my family restaurant cook the food and put it in to-go containers. In 60 days, I was back in the best shape of my life and feeling great. Never counted a calorie, never cooked a meal. Freshly was born.

Our goal is to make eating healthy easy and tasty. The easiest way to think of Freshly is a healthy Blue Apron without hours of cooking. We do everything for you! No shopping, cooking or cleaning. Our food is fresh, never frozen and shipped right to your door. Freshly is like having your own nutritionist and personal chef. I am all about things being easy!

Menswear Designer Donrad Duncan Shares His Favorite Spots in Florence, Italy

As the designer for EFM Engineered for Motion, Donrad Duncan takes wardrobe staples — like the field jacket, the parka, and the blazer — and gives  them modern updates through cutting edge construction and finishing technologies. As an avid travel, Duncan designs his pieces to be lightweight, easy to wear, and easy to pack. As a result, the luxury sportswear created by Duncan moves better, weighs less, and is all around more functional than clothing of the past.

To get a better understanding of the man behind the brand, we asked Duncan to share some of his favorite spots to eat, drink, and shop in Florence, Italy, a city he frequents two to three times a year for inspiration, fabric sourcing, relaxation, and amazing coffee.

From the Hebrides to the Highlands, This is Our Essential Guide to Scotland

Last November we had the pleasure of spending 10 captivating days in Scotland. Though this ancient land is steeped in a wild and rich history, it endures as a refreshingly progressive and welcoming European nation. Because every new introduction felt like meeting an old friend it was easy to feel at home among strangers. And that’s part of the charm of this place: the Scottish people are friendly, funny, and possess a great and welcoming pride of place unlike anywhere else we’ve experienced in the UK. And, like the Scottish people experience every day, we too, were enveloped and impressed by misty mornings, peaty whisky, and their incredible craftsmanship. We could have easily stayed another fortnight without regrets.

We hope the joy we experienced comes through in all our posts and missives from our adventure, which no doubt read better with a wee dram in hand.
