Ep 14: Kevin Curry, Fit Men Cook - Influencer to Brand Dominance

September 29, 2021 • Tenaj Ferguson • Season 1 • Episode 14

This week, I spoke to Kevin Curry, founder of FitMenCook. FitMenCook is an online community that inspires men and women to eat healthily and stay fit by providing healthy recipes. Kevin prides himself in creating recipes that are, in his words, “never, ever boring.” Kevin’s mission is to not only help people live healthier but also to be happier.

Kevin is a many-sided man who is on a mission to become a household name. He also founded the FitMenCook app, which has garnered more than 7,000 five-star reviews on the Apple App Store. He also published his first cookbook in 2018, which reached the top of Amazon’s fitness category within a month of going on sale. His latest venture is the launch of his spice and tea product lines; the spices are designed to meet all recipe needs, while the teas are designed for various wellness goals.

His journey to the success of FitMenCook started about nine years ago when he found himself back at his parent’s home with a master’s degree from Harvard, yet he was jobless and broke. He had to rely on government assistance programs such as food stamps for feeding; hence he had to learn how to eat healthy while on a budget. He decided to share his creative discoveries with the world on his blog. In no time, he formed a community of individuals on similar health and wellness journeys.
