Episode 138: Executive Eats: How Food Fuels Focus, Creativity, and Success with Adam Kingl
Episode 138
Wednesday, 22 July, 2026

Have you ever considered how cooking can nourish your body, mind, and career? Adam Kingl is a leadership expert, educator, and co-author of Executive Eats: The Cookbook for a Better Working Life. Written with educator, scientist, and culinary professional Dr. Jakub Leszek Radzikowski, the book explores the fascinating connection between what we eat and how we think, work, create, and connect with others. Rather than organizing recipes by meal type, Executive Eats is built around the outcomes many of us need and seek, such as sustained energy, sharper concentration, stress relief, creativity, comfort, and even celebration. It is part cookbook and part scientific exploration of food and wellbeing. While the book is written with executives in mind, its message resonates far beyond the boardroom. It offers a wonderful perspective for anyone on how cooking and eating can support a more fulfilling life. In this episode, we talk about the inspiration behind the book, the surprising benefits of cooking, and the ingredients and habits that can help all of us perform at our best.
