Ep. 85: How This Farmer Became a Bestselling Vegan Author with Todd Sinclair

“I see being a rebel as a positive positive thing, that you aren’t just taking things as they are. We grew up in this belief system where eating meat is natural and normal. I very much grew up with that. I had to rethink that. I had to challenge that, in a way, to rebel against it and look at other ways of doing it. And not just follow my heritage and the way things were. I really want to inspire everybody else to come on board and question all these things and be part of it—this idea of being rebellious and rethinking things, changing the world and making it a better place.”
