Stephan Kerby entered the profession of Financial Advising after a variety of life experiences and created a desire to learn more about personal finance. After years of research, he started to realize that he had greater purchasing power to help the animals and the environment in the realm of investing, rather than solely purchasing vegan products.

Stephan began his career in financial planning in early 2000. In 2009, he started his own firm, IFB Wealth Management and became an independent financial advisor. He is passionate about Socially Responsible Investing and animal advocacy.

In this episode, Stephan discusses some of the basics of investing and gives us a few tips and tricks on how to make our dollars count!

Tony Drake spent 27 years of his life being overweight. When he was 12 years old, he was 255 pounds and his life revolved around junk food. Because of this, he was bullied at school; he was spit on, had slurpees thrown at him, had signs put on his back, and even punched. He was called names by his classmates and even one of his teacher's aides.

At age 21, Tony reached 335 pounds. He had no discipline and no idea what "healthy eating" was. In 2005, his brother Dorian became his mentor and taught him how to work out. He lost 44 pounds and then met his now wife, Danelle, who taught him about nutrition.

Today, Tony has lost a total of 120 pounds and lives a vegan lifestyle. He has since married Danelle and recently had a baby girl! In 2019, Tony began coaching others to live their best lives.

In this podcast, Tony shares his personal story along with his coaching program!

Only three years ago, Jane was an obese, struggling asthmatic. She was celebrating her completion of Graduate School and snapped some pictures with her daughter.

She knew she had gained some weight, but didn't realize exactly how big she was until she saw the photos. She had been hiding behind her body for so long, that she didn't realize how far she had gone.

She felt exhausted, worn out, hopeless, heavy and defeated, so she decided to do something about it.

After her moment of clarity, she began aligning her behaviors with her beliefs by going vegan. Through this eighteen-month journey, she lost eighty-five pounds and completely changed her life!

In this episode, Jane talks all about how her transformation happened, and why her daughter became one of her biggest motivations for her drastic change!

John Brooks was the first black graduate from the University of Montana, where he studied ecology, and he has always had the passion to help people and the environment. He's protected US airways as an Air Marshall, and worked with US Customs and Homeland Security to prevent the unlawful trafficking of live exotic wildlife. He's spent 30 years with the US Department of Interior from California to Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Washington DC and New Jersey.   John has also held the titles, Refuge Manager, Wildlife Inspector, Special Agent, Computer Forensics Specialist and augmented Federal Air Marshal. Although he retired in 2008 as a civil servant, he's continued to stress the importance of education through his work as an author, filmmaker, musician and community volunteer and believes education is the key to a healthy society.   Although congressional candidates have already been decided for this election year, John comes on the podcast to discuss some of the ways we can contribute to a less-cruel, and more loving environment, not only to benefit people, but animals as well. John and I also take a few minutes to discuss the issues at hand regarding the police force, the Black Lives Matter movement, and everything that has lead up to our current movement.   *NOTE* I personally try to keep my political views off of podcasts, with the intent of focusing on veganism, rather than causing division in those that don't identify with political parties at hand. I've provided a platform for those to speak about veganism, and align with their views in effort to do so. My intent is not to promote or disqualify any political party, but rather to promote the areas that align with veganism.*   John Brooks:

Tony Howe is Roy Elam's right hand man at Donna Jean in San Diego. He's also the founder and creator of Scratch House; a local artisanal vegan cheese, charcuterie and sauce company that's always pushing the culinary limits!

Tony's love for cooking started when he was younger; his dad was in the Marine Corps, which didn't allow him to be at home with his family as much as he would've liked. Because of this, Tony started watching cooking shows and learning how to cook for his family.

Today, Tony has almost obsessed over perfecting the techniques and recipes for his vegan meats and cheeses, which are now being used in several San Diego restaurants and pop-ups.

In this episode, Tony talks about the science behind creating the perfect vegan cheese, and how his methods have changed over time, and with time (with fermentation).
