Eating Like You Give a Damn

Ever given serious thought to replacing your job income by coaching others into a plant-based lifestyle? Or maybe you’ve started already and you’re trying to get clients…

It’s a deeply fulfilling way to earn a great income when you know the right steps to take. 

The problem is that many coaches don’t earn enough money to stay in business and make the kind of impact they were born to make. With so many business and marketing strategies out there, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed, resulting in not knowing exactly what to focus on day-to-day to move the needle of your business.

In this episode, I am interviewed by my buddy, Ronnie Tsunami, for the Plant-Based Business Summit. I not only get to share my vegan story and how I got to where I am today as a business trainer for plant-based and vegan coaches... 

but I also lay out the 3 key elements every plant-based coach needs in order to stand out in a crowded health & wellness space and hit their income goals quickly. And...it’s probably NOT what you think.

PLUS - I make a special announcement in the intro that you’re not going to want to miss!

If you want to catch the Plant-Based Business Summit to watch interviews with leaders in the plant-based and vegan space, you can still access the summit for FREE if you register right now before May 21st.

Did you know Texas is going vegan? At least, with sustainable farming pioneers like this guest, Texas and other cattle-raising states are well on their way...

Renee King-Sonnen - former cattle rancher's wife who loved rodeos and cowboy boots - is the Founder and Executive Director of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary - a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Since going vegan in 2014, Renee has converted Rowdy Girl Sanctuary from a cattle ranch to a sanctuary for over 120 animals (and her husband from a multi-generational cattle rancher to an animal rescuing vegan). This is the first documented beef cattle ranch vegan conversion in history, and also has pioneering initiatives such as: 

1. The Rancher Advocacy Program which transitions cattle ranchers and animal farmers out of animal agribusiness and into other viable farming and business practices, 
2. and Families Choosing Compassion is a compassionate alternative to Future Farmers of America and 4-H and brings families of children together that are saddened by the end result that leads to the slaughter of raising their animal friends as “school projects.” 

Rowdy Girl Sanctuary inspires other ranchers to experience a paradigm shift while helping them move from participating in the cruelty of factory farming to living out compassion towards the animals raised for food.

If you are looking for some clarity around what the deal is with dairy, and why a professional athlete...or better yet, an Olympian would choose to ditch it, then this episode is for you.

Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. 

In the Olympics while riding for Team USA while facing staggering odds, she produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record! You can find her triumphant story chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold.”

Dotsie is one of the stars in the newly released film The Game Changers, which chronicles one of the world's most dangerous myths about protein, and has been named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world. 

Her popular TEDx Talk titled “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.

Her latest initiative is founding the non-profit called Switch4Good, proving that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet. 

In this interview, we chat about:

• How Dotsie once struggled with an eating disorder that nearly claimed her life before choosing a vegan lifestyle, and she sets the record straight about some people’s concerns about whether or not veganism is an eating disorder.
• She shines some light on dietary racism - one of the most overlooked food injustice issues directly affecting the livelihood of our African American, Asian, and Latino populations - and I think you’ll really feel like your eyes have been opened to this issue...
• and she explains what milk is meant for, how it’s produced, and why it's not as healthy or even necessary as we’ve been taught to believe.

Plus Dotsie gives us fun and helpful tips during your vegan transition for the upcoming holidays.

You can find a Youtube link to Dotsie’s recap of the USDA 2020 dietary guidelines hearing posted by Plant Based News, which discusses food injustice particularly involving people of color HERE: http://bit.ly/2NIvBWV

If you’re wondering about what a holiday meal looks like without the animal as the centerpiece, or the side items dripping in butter or cream, then this guest has gotcha covered!

Today we are chatting with Ashley Kitchens, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, and Nutrition Coach who takes a holistic approach to creating lifelong wellness for her clients. She earned her Masters of Public Health and Nutrition from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the founder of Plant Centered Prep where she empowers individuals to live a healthier, more plant-based lifestyle. Ashley believes that a positive outlook on life combined with a positive relationship to food produce the energy and vitality necessary to fuel a joyful life.

Although she grew up on an Angus cattle farm in Indiana where meat was a central part of her diet, she has an infectious enthusiasm for eating plant-based and helping others make the shift, too. When she’s not checking in with clients, on the road visiting nursing homes, or meal prepping for the week, you might find her walking her dogs in downtown Durham, sweating it out at a CrossFit session, or making delicious, plant-based dishes for friends and family.

In this chat, we get into:

• How Ashley reversed her chronic GI issues that caused her incredible discomfort, bloating, fatigue and constipation for sooo many years of her life
• As a dietitian, her take on - what she calls ‘headliner’ diets - and what the research consistently shows regarding proper nutrition
• She provides clarity on which carbohydrate-rich foods are ok for diabetics - I can tell you it’s not the conventional wisdom that you are probably familiar with hearing
• And, some incredible tips for anyone just starting down the plant-based path...and even if you’ve been traveling this road of transition for a while, I think you’ll still get some great insights from Ashley that you might not have thought about before!

Plus, we dish up ideas for Thanksgiving and discuss some of the challenges that often pop up for new vegans during the holidays.

Ashley is speaking at Remedy Food in Portland, OR on Nov. 7, 2019: www.remedyfood.org/

This is an episode unlike any other...because today’s celebrity guest is pretty new to the plant-based scene. You’re gonna love getting a taste of what it’s like for this bachelor to navigate the twists and turns of choosing foods that align with what he values, and his journey has only just begun.

After his American Idol audition, William Hung’s rendition of “She Bangs” became famous around the world! But, for all the wrong reasons. 

Despite a rather humbling start, William redeemed himself. He has since appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even performed live with Ricky Martin in Las Vegas.

Today, William is the author of the book Champion by Choice, and he helps purpose-driven business owners uncover their unique message and leverage it through public speaking to sell out their stages, webinars, and live streams. 

In this chat, we talk about

• How William sees what he eats as a determining factor to his success and performance in his business
• Why his health is the biggest motivator for change, and what inspired him to start thinking differently about his food choices (and I’m really excited for you to hear about that!)
• How he manages to maintain about an 80% healthy plant-based diet today when he doesn’t cook at home

And, he shares his vision of a plant-based future, PLUS some valuable wisdom from one aspiring vegan to another.
