October 29, 2019 #12 Think Plant-Based with Julia & Shane
In this episode we chat with the vegan couple behind Think Plant-Based. Julia has been an active vegan since 2000. She moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2008 from Berlin, Germany to pursue acting and art.
Along the way, she met her wonderful husband, Shane, and with him helped create what you know as
Think Plant-Based.
Julia has been helping to spread a plant-based vision in the community through hosting many local Meetups with the group, Meatless Meetup.

Shane has only been vegan for a short time now. He moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2012 from a small town in the interior of British Columbia. Growing up, Shane had horrible eating habits, no exercise routine and was 50 lbs overweight. Eventually, he started getting into fitness through DVD’s and running. Fast-forward to now, he now has better plant-based eating habits and a solid fitness routine that he has learned over the many years of trial and error.

September 29, 2019#9 Joe Rogan is Obsessed with Vegans
*Quick correction: When we were reading the Biodiversity article, the projected land use was referring to 2050 but we accidentally said 2015.

It's no secret that Joe Rogan is obsessed with vegans. On his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, he bashes vegan nutrition and trash talks the movement every chance he gets. Which is A LOT. After all these years, we still listen to JRE because we believe you don't have to agree with every opinion someone has in order to enjoy their conversations and be open to the different topics that are brought up. We love that he has a wide variety of guests and that he has come out in support of a Universal Basic Income, which we advocate for as well. Thanks to Joe Rogan and his massive platform, it is how many people first heard about Andrew Yang. We love Andrew Yang!! #YangGang2020

BUT, in his latest episode (#1355) he takes things way too far and we felt it was time to share a response to his completely false statements. We don't normally do episodes like this, and we know he is entitled to have his own opinions about veganism, but some of his remarks were stated as facts so we felt the need to address a few things.

We referred to a few articles and studies in this episode, we've listed the links below:

September 01, 2019 #6 Luckie Lifestyle, Vegan Ironman & Content Creator
In this episode, we chat with vegan Ironman Luckie Sigouin from @luckielifestyle.

Luckie shares his story about going from a bodybuilder eating 300g of animal protein a day to eating a very restrictive low-calorie vegan diet in order to lose weight to get into modeling. Although that worked for him in the beginning, he then switched to a balanced vegan diet that allows him to thrive as a plant-based triathlete.

You can follow his journey on both Instagram and Youtube.
