We had the good fortune of connecting with Doniss Hicks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Doniss, every day, we know how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I initially came up with the idea for my business after suffering from a mini-stroke in 2016. Although I was preparing food for colleagues and friends. My focus on preparing healthy meals until this potentially catastrophic health scare changed my approach to nutrition and my attitude regarding food and it’s benefits when applied to learn how not to die thus my business became Living4LifeWellnessLLC. I then sought more opportunities to grow and expand my business by participating in Build Institute along with In The Business of Food (IBF). IBF taught me skills regarding food management, pricing, marketing and professional development. At that point, Chef Ederique Goudia encouraged me to focus on the food and gave me the idea for a restaurant concept which I named NuSõl Bowls which evolved to NuSõl Foods and The NuSõl Food Buggy.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I briefly gave a description in the earlier questioning but I can say that the food business is not easy or for the faint of heart. You have to be adaptable, pationate and truly love to cook but be able to deal with the business side through constant marketing and being able to quickly change.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I really don’t do much entertaining but I would probably take the to Boabob Restaurant for Eats. I don’t do much but work other than that.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Chef Ederique Goudia is my shout out and mentor.
