When Lukkah Churchill says he's going to do something, he truly commits. Whether it's going vegan or opening up a food cart even after it's impaled by a tree, Lukkah always goes in 110%. With the wildly successful soft opening of his new PDX food cart, Fatsquatch, in his wake, Lukkah knows what it takes to run a solid business. However, he couldn't do it without the help of the Portland vegan community, his family, and his wife and partner, Christine.

Coming from a family of environmentalists might not seem cool when you're a kid, but Monica Schrock may beg to differ.

If you're looking to watch a truly inspirational vegan documentary, look no further than Vegan Everyday Stories. We're joined by guest Eric Day, who, with his wife and a crew of vegan filmmakers, traveled the country to document the real lives and tales of a select group of vegans that range in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc.
Eric, who became vegan while trying to prove why he shouldn't go vegan, talks about how he got started in the activism world and how that led him to produce Vegan Everyday Stories, which also features interviews with Moby, Ed. Begley, Jr, and Russell Simmons.

Since the early ’80s, Seth Tibbot has played a huge role in the global vegan community. At a time when the word “vegan” wasn’t even a blip on the radar, Seth started selling tempeh at natural markets. When he developed Tofurky for like-minded “pure vegetarians” in the mid-’90s, he had no idea he would be the inspiration for future generations of vegan food entrepreneurs.
