Peace Family! Welcome to another episode of The Foundation Podcast and we have a very special episode today with our very own co-host Jasmere Rogers. Jasmere is a Red Bank, New Jersey native who holds dual degrees in Political Science and Law from Montclair State University. In preparation for our pop up event on this Monday October 25th in Red Bank, New Jersey, Jasmere provides listeners with a background of how he built a foundation in changing his diet to vegan and how he eventually utilized Instagram to monetize this passion by becoming a chef. 

What stood out about Jasmere's journey is the way in which he utilized social media platform Instagram to not only cultivate and learn more about his passion in cooking, but to ultimately use his videos from Instagram cooking to secure him a chef job at a local vegan restaurant. Jasmere also shines a little light on the negative perceptions he sometimes receives due to his identification as a vegan, and addresses some common misconceptions about the diet as well as helpful strategies we can utilize in attempting to eat healthier. 

Overall, even if you are not vegan or not interesting in changing your diet, their are loads of gems contained in Jas' story which can help you in multiple areas of life. The effective utilization of social media is just one of these gems. See if there are any building blocks you can take from Jas to assist with building your own foundation. Also, do not forget to stop by the Documentation University pop up located at Karma 2 Go restaurant on October 25th from 4pm-8pm! Until Next time family, Peace!
