Andy Shovel, the founder of the vegan meat company THIS, knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur since he was 18 years old. He didn't pay much attention to studying and started his first business while still at university. Being a successful entrepreneur seemed to be the ultimate fulfillment… until one day he discovered something Greater Than His Business.
THIS started as a 'great business opportunity,' and Andy didn't expect that animal welfare would become his life mission. A mission so unbelievably strong that now it distracts him from day-to-day work and leads him to start therapy.
Join Andy and me in this vulnerable and inspiring conversation where he shares his beliefs:
Anyone from a privileged background has an obligation to give back.
Having a mission is not as 'rosy' as it may seem.
