In this second episode of Paws for Effect, we hear from Andy Tabar, the owner of Compassion Co, a vegan apparel brand that's also organic, USA made, and sweatshop free. Andy founded the company back in 2011 and travels around to vegfests and other events in a live-in van.

Andy has put a lot of work and thought into his work, and he's here to talk with us about:

• what the heck a vegan t-shirt is (shirts can be vegan? what?)
• ADHD and how it affects business ownership
• ways a shirt can start a conversation—and whether or not we want it to
• slimy sales tactics and what customers should look for in their apparel
• NOOCH and more!
