I first met Lieven Vanlommel<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span>many years ago at an event where he spoke about the journey leading up to building Starmeal and Foodmaker. He captivated a room full of corporates with his fresh energy and crisp humour, down-to-earth and focused on one mission:<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><strong>good food for everyone.<\/strong><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span>Years went by. He kept building his dream, while I started my side project with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groentefruitbrigade.nl\/\">Fruit &amp; Veggie Brigade for Food Banks<\/a>. Our paths crossed again when I invited me to the first edition of<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><a class=\"ArnTpmDpqOjShEweVaJcYZwkyLmDqkqjbDdY \" href=\"https:\/\/lovetomorrow.com\/\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\" tabindex=\"0\">Love Tomorrow<\/a><span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span>in 2022. At the time, I was writing a book on Food Innovation for university students and thought, one day I want to be involved with Foodmaker, but I don\u2019t yet know how. Two years later, I was preparing for the international version of<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><a class=\"ArnTpmDpqOjShEweVaJcYZwkyLmDqkqjbDdY \" href=\"https:\/\/startafoodstory.com\/mastering-food-innovation\/\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\" tabindex=\"0\">Mastering Food Innovation<\/a>, my very own book, self-published, with people I admire for who they are and what they do in the food system. I call them<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><strong>Design Fools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ember1374\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\"><strong>DESIGN FOOLS<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ember1375\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">These are people, I count myself among them, who believe they can change the world. Even crazier, they actually try to do it. So I asked Lieven to contribute to my book. His story, his enthusiasm, his time, our conversations, our combined energy, I can harldy describe it. Let&#8217;s try: imagine those bouncing balls that, when together, bounce even higher, talking about various topics: from purchasing to marketing, from production staff to daughters, from starting at the bottom to suddenly being at the top, from dishwashing and high school to business school and university, from zero to one hundred and back, from osteopath to obesity, Ironman to tattoos (photo). Know that feeling? Now picture it and multiply it by ten:<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><strong>that\u2019s the energy when you bring Design Fools together<\/strong>!<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/startafoodstory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250829-Nieuwsbrief-10-Tattoo-Foodmaker.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;20250829 Nieuwsbrief 10 Tattoo Foodmaker&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat|700|||||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 id=\"ember1378\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__heading-3\">INVINCIBILITY &amp; LEGACY<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"ember1379\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Last week, I personally delivered the book to Lieven. Why? He is not able attend my book launch due to his personal challenge: completing the Ironman. His participation at Ironman brings me to the topic of invincibility and legacy, because they are closely intertwined. The Ironman is about physical and mental invincibility: the willpower to keep going, even when every muscle in your body screams to stop.<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><strong>It\u2019s not about defeating others, but overcoming yourself.<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span><\/strong>That same strength is what I see in Foodmaker: years of building, falling, getting back up and still standing by their powerful mission. That\u2019s what makes a brand not just strong, it makes it truly meaningful.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember1380\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Legacy is what comes after. It\u2019s what remains, what is passed on even when you\u2019re no longer there. A company like Foodmaker<span class=\"white-space-pre\"> <\/span>leaves that legacy in every salad, every wrap, every plate, and every meal that helps people live healthier lives.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Invincibility &#038; Legacy&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Montserrat|700|||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Kalam||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#502048&#8243; min_height=&#8221;186.2px&#8221; body_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; body_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; body_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<p>Invincibility and legacy fuel each other.
