- How To Make Money Sharing Your Knowledge and Passions
Making money from passion is not some new age guru’s idea of glorifying the starving artist syndrome. More and more people are realizing that instead of constantly chasing that dollar value that they associate with success, they would be better off if they let their passion for something attract that success, however they define it for themselves. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen revisit this topic that they covered in Take Charge Now! – a free eBook that they wrote back in 2019. So much has changed in the world since it was written, but the principles it contains have become even more relevant as each of us endeavors to find our path to success during these challenging times. Listen in and be enlightened by these timeless and foundational principles of achieving a genuinely successful and fulfilling life.

56 min - Friendly Vegan: An Amicable Way To Spread The Message Of Veganism With Toni Okamoto And Michelle Cehn
Justifiably or not, vegans have often been accused of being pushy, overly zealous or simply assholes. Vegans may tend to be very passionate about what they stand for, but the phrase “friendly vegan” is hardly an oxymoron. In fact, there is good cause to look at it as something that we all should strive for if we want to effectively spread the message of vegan living. Return guests, Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn share some of their work in this space with Jason Wrobel and Toni Lauritsen. Through The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, these two rockstar vegan ladies are bringing vegans and omnivores alike through a shared message and a shared passion for good food. After all, good food is good food, right? Wouldn’t it be a much better to make it a rallying point for vegan lifestyle rather than have this constant urge to shame those who are not yet up for it?
