Everyone told Devin that healthy food made boring television. She never believed it, and she wanted a segment on a Home & Garden Network show called Smart Solutions to prove it.

So she sat outside the studio and waited. When the show’s top producer walked out to the parking lot, she didn’t chase him down — she simply stepped into the elevator at exactly the right moment. “I love your show. Have you ever considered a healthy breakfast segment?”

She got on the show. Her first national TV appearance, engineered entirely from a parking lot.

No one was going to send her an invitation. So she built the meeting herself.
