After working for 25 years as a screenwriter in Europe — where people have a very different relationship to food — Jennifer returned to the US and founded Out of the Box Collective in 2010, with the goal of inspiring people to get back into their kitchens with amazing ingredients, and back around the table with their loved ones creating lasting memories and building their health at the same time. In 2019 she rebranded Out of the Box Collective as Narrative Food.

As a woman business owner, Jennifer is an active member of the B Corp Women CEO's group, working on political advocacy, and she is an original signatory to bethechange.net declaration. She is also very proud to be a member of the Female Founders Collective.

In this episode, Emily and Jennifer discuss reinventing themselves and their business during the 2008 and 2020 recessions.
