Florida's Fresh Mix

Veganism is a lifestyle that's spreading around the world quicker than we can say "tofu." That's why we're featuring a homegrown vegan who's taking South Florida's vegan community to new heights. Today's guest is Sean Russell, the Founder of SoFlo Vegans, which is an online platform that promotes veganism through videos, podcasts, blogs, and events. Sean tells Gerard his pre-vegan story and why he thinks South Florida can become the next global vegan hotspot. Plus, he breaks down the differences between veganism, vegetarianism, and plant-based diets. Will Gerard turn from his meat-eating ways and adopt a vegan lifestyle? Listen in...
