Most of us avoid being controversial. Tash Peterson does the opposite - and she’s become one of the most influential animal advocates in the world as a result.
From walking into a Louis Vuitton with her own menstrual blood smeared over her naked body to breaking into factory farms, Tash does everything she can to invite, not avoid, controversy. And she’s made front page news (and earned 100,000+ followers on YouTube) as a result.What can all of us learn from her experience? I invited Tash onto the show to find out. And the conversation was even more fun and hilarious than I expected!
