One of my favorite things to discover on this podcast, is the way moving in a Vegan direction can open up your life. The practice of limiting and eliminating the use of animals as products can open up your awareness to what is happening all around us and how important our choices are.

This week we find out what makes design “Vegan."

What Makes a Design Firm “Vegan?"

We know that being Vegan is not just what we eat, but what makes a business Vegan? 

Our guests, Cayla Maki Pittman and Dave Pittman of Harmless.Studio in Maine, do design and marketing for people making the world better, with a focus on vegan and sustainable projects.

The clue is in the name of their studio - Harmless.

Not long ago there was more resistance among manufactures and retailers toward using the world “VEGAN." I still run into it, but in today’s conversation with Cayla and Dave you get a sense of a new generation of businesses who are embracing the word as well as the ethos.  

Cayla is an interactive designer and digital marketer. She studied Interactive Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).

Cayla also holds a certificate in management from Harvard Business School, and has been recognized by United Nations, the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Social Impact Strategy, and PETA.

Dave is an award-winning interdisciplinary designer and former creative director at the multinational ad agency Y&R (Young & Rubicam). As a designer, he has worked for Fortune 100 companies, global NGOs, and everywhere in between. He is a certified vegan interior designer and holds a master's degree in industrial design also from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he also sometimes teaches.

Cayla and Dave Pittman are the perfect team to introduce us to the concerns, opportunities and challenges of “designing while Vegan,” as they aim for sustainable and harmless.

Find out more about Cayla and Dave Pittman at their website: https://harmless.studio.

The book Dave mentions in our conversation is by Dutch artist Christien Meidertsm, Pig 05049.  https://christienmeindertsma.com/PIG-05049 

Christine Meiderstma’s fascinating TED talk about that project, How Pig Parts Make the World Turn is available to watch here:https://www.ted.com/talks/christien_meindertsma_how_pig_parts_make_the_world_turn?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare

On this week’s episode I talk about the famous James Clear quote:“You don’t rise to the level of your goals.  You fail to the level of your systems.”

From his bestselling book Atomic Habits. (This quote is on a sticky note that is ALWAYS on my laptop.)

I also mention working with Life Coach Tracy Hoth simplysquaredaway.com in the podcast several times.  Tracy helps life coaches streamline their processes and her podcast The Organized Coach is full of great information.

Going into the fall and "back to school” season we are talking systems. What are they?  Do we have them? Why do we need to uncover them?  Goals are about the idea of the results we want, but systems are the actual processes that lead to those results.

Goals can be great but they can also be limiting- If we are only happy when we hit our goal, we set ourselves up for dissatisfaction most of the time. 

Systems, on the other hand, can help us find satisfaction, excitement and pride in the process.  This may even be more true with a goal like being vegan or plant based, because it is a practice not a one time event or achievement.

I help my clients fine tune their systems to support their vegan and plant based goals. And this summer,I began working with Tracy Hoth to fine tune my business systems so I will be sharing what I learn from that process here on the pod.

Please feel free to share with me some of the systems that regularly help YOU on your plant based and vegan journey.

For Fork's Sake!  by Rachael Brown:

Thinking about transitioning your family to a more plant-based diet? Rachael Brown's 2022 book, For Fork's Sake!  Might just be the perfect guide. This simple yet comprehensive guide takes readers on a 10-day journey from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to the HAPPY diet - "Healthy and Plant-Powered, YAY!"

Rachael Brown shares her own family's experience shifting away from meat and dairy to embrace a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. With humor and compassion, she offers tips for making this transition smoothly, including:

- Defining what a whole food, plant-based diet entails and its many health benefits

- Strategies for bringing reluctant family members on board

- Responding to questions and skepticism from friends and family 

- Avoiding common pitfalls like expecting perfection and nutrient deficiencies

- Appealing to even the pickiest of eaters

Rachael helps us see that the shift doesn't have to be drastic to be beneficial. Bite-sized daily challenges are a delicious way to ease all of us into the transition. 

Throughout the book, Rachael reassures readers that this journey is about progress not perfection. While changing your diet can feel daunting, she breaks it down into approachable steps anyone can take.

Rachael’s gentle guidance and practical tips make adopting a plant-based diet seem happily achievable, even if not everyone around your table is on board. For Fork’s Sake is a powerful assertion that you don't need to overhaul your life to reap the benefits of more vegetables and plant-based foods.
