When did you launch the business?
2017
What led you to where you are today?
A love for people, the planet psychedelic experiences, and communing with the plant king and queendom.
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
Nothing at all really. I believe that our experiences start from the center which is always where we are. We can't land on a fraction and if we view our place in the universe as just a small sphere that has the privilege of being in a conscious state we can grow in every direction by choosing love and truly feeling the collectiveness between our consciousness and all energy.
What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far?
Sometimes I forget my way and difficult decisions come from a place of being off our paths. Having a practice to bring us back to the center is ultimately one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves. Our heuristics help us make better decisions without having to label them good, bad difficult, etc. They are just decisions that support us on our path.
What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with?
I hope to inspire all in our plant-based community to embrace a life after plastic. We are in a plastic crisis, plastic is in our blood, our food, and our water and kills millions of animals each year. Over the past 29 years of being plant-based I have seen the community grow so much, I hope this is our next move. <3
How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you?
I truly believe that if we want to change the world our voices are best used not to talk about the corporations that are trying to destroy our earth and best used for companies who are not.
Fun fact about you:
I talk to plants and I'm a pretty accomplished chef.
Anything else you would like to share?
