About
Keith Kalm
I’m Keith Kalmanowicz—a chef by trade, a builder by instinct, and a creative generalist with a soft spot for gardens, blockchain, and wild ideas that just might work. Over the years, I’ve run pop-up cafés, lived out of a Vanagon, taught myself how to grow food, and turned that into a seed company.
I’ve launched crypto projects like Riddlen, a human-powered riddle-solving platform, and Intentional Cannabis, a mindful cannabis consumption guide. I build websites, write content, develop brand voices, and consult on everything from menus to monetization strategies. Some days I’m deep in AI automations, other days I’m packing seed kits in my garage or making jalapeño cheddar cornbread for 200 people.
This site is where it all comes together—experiments, side hustles, stories, and seeds. I’m not trying to sell you a dream. I’m just some guy building mine.
