Calling All Vegans: An Pham, Lise Beutel, Renee King-Sonnen, Sagar Dedhia and Reema Gandhi
Summary: Calling All Vegans with Sue Spahr and Alec Bosse. Three wonderful, but very different, vegan businesses were highlighted in this episode...just in time for the holiday season! And a very special and rowdy -- that's a clue! -- activist.<br><br>DISCOUNT ALERT! An Pham of BOIDA Athletica not only came in all the way from Montreal to talk about her 100% vegan brand of activewear and outerwear clothing, but she arrived bearing gifts AND a promo code (CAV50) to save $50.00 off the price of their already reasonably-priced and innovative VEGAGOOZ “vegan down” jackets. They are lightweight, eco-conscious, and WARM. Also, keep your eyes peeled for her BODHI Gourmet brand of fishless fish sauce...the missing “je ne sais quoi” in vegan Asian food. <a href="https://www.boidaathletica.com/">https://www.boidaathletica.com/</a> #boidaathletica #vegagooz #bodhigourmet<br><br>Lise Beutel of SOULiers Studio put her best foot forward -- probably decked out in a gorgeous pump or a cute little boot, but she was on Skype, so we couldn't tell -- and talked about the beautiful collection of ethically-sourced vegan footwear, purses, and fun toques that she has lovingly curated. And want to feel like royalty? Meghan Markle wears running shoes from one of the brands that she carries. This shoe studio has got SOUL. <a href="https://www.souliersstudio.com/">https://www.souliersstudio.com/</a> #souliersstudio<br><br>Here's where the rowdy part comes in. Texas-rancher-turned-sanctuary-operator, Renee King-Sonnen of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, Skyped in to talk about her change of heart and the very unique turn of events that led her to spearhead the Rancher Advocacy Program, or RAP, which checkmarks the last box for any arguments that people may have against a plant-based world. It offers a way for animal farmers to move towards a compassionate “no-kill” model that is sustainable and profitable, such as transitioning their operations to veganic farming, solar or wind farms, ingredients suppliers to vegan food companies, or to even become sanctuaries. We'll be meeting her entertaining and wonderful self in person next summer when she joins us at Nation Rising 2019 in Ottawa, Canada as a spokesperson. <a href="https://rowdygirlsanctuary.org/">https://rowdygirlsanctuary.org/</a> #rowdygirlsanctuary #rancheradvocacyprogram <a href="http://nationrising.ca/">http://nationrising.ca/</a> #nationrising<br><br>And our last two guests, Sagar Dedhia and Reema Gandhi of Sargam Chocolates And More, instantly became crowd favourites when they showed up with...chocolate! I was thankful for the smaller-than-usual studio audience for this taping. Their melt-in-your-mouth chocolates, chocolate-dipped-fruit-rolled-in-cookie-crumbs, chocolate bouquets, and brownies are 100% homemade and 100% vegan. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sargamchocolates/">https://www.facebook.com/sargamchocolates/</a>
