001 - Why have a vegan business?

WHY? We start by answering this really fundamental question for anyone who has a vegan business (or is thinking about starting one).

Why are you doing this? Why are we ALL doing this? Why should you have a vegan business? You might already have a great product, service, or idea for a vegan business, but maybe you’ve not got all the business skills or experience that you wish you had – and right now, that doesn’t matter. Because what you DO have, that other business owners don’t, is a burning passion to make the world a better, fairer and cruelty-free place. And no matter what else, that’s an AMAZING place to start.

In this episode, I take a look at the plant-based market as a whole and answer the question to who is really buying all these vegan products if vegans only make up one or two percent of the marketplace? And I also ask: why do vegans have such a reluctance to make money from what they do – because let me tell you right now, you can do a lot more good in the world with a profit than with a loss!
