Sit down and have a cup of tea with us as I introduce the founder of Tea Drops, Sashee Chandran!

Tea Drops are a creative new way to consume tea. They are organic, ground leaf teas that are pressed into fun shapes. You can ditch the bag because they melt in water — like a bath bomb!

In addition to creating a fun and convenient way to have tea anywhere, they are also a partner of Thirst Project. Thirst Project, a non-profit focused on youth, education about the water crisis, and building global water wells. With every online order, Tea Drops donates an ENTIRE YEAR of clean water to someone in need.

In this episode, we're going vegan! Brett Christoffel, Founder and CEO of All Y'alls Foods, joins us to tell his story of creating a vegan jerky business in the heart of the meat industry.

All Y'alls Foods creates plant-based snacks made with Texan flavors inspired by their home state. Their clean jerky and bacony bits recipes feature plants special to Texas, from prickly pear to chipotle pepper.

A portion of each sale goes directly to  Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, a cattle ranch-turned vegan sanctuary with the largest herd of rescued cows in Texas. Located in Waelder, Texas they house, love, and care for over a hundred animals and have a Ranchers Advocacy Program offering those in the animal ag business a pathway to replace animal based income.
