Today, I am joined by Angélica Williams a vegan luxury hospitality consultant and founder of Green Luxury Living™. Angélica is passionate about curating unique experiences that are kind to fellow humans, animals, and the planet. What started out as a blog about green living in style, flourished into consulting services for the hospitality industry, offering tailored solutions to elevate the experience of the contemporary guest.  As an avid traveler and vegan foodie, Angélica found herself struggling to find vegan offerings and experiences for herself and her family to enjoy; either the experience would fall short due to lack of awareness from staff, or was simply unavailable. It was disappointing and frustrating, especially when she knew there was a simple way to create such experiences, if only these establishments knew how and what exactly the modern guest is looking for.  As a vegan luxury hospitality consultant, Angélica combines her experience in conference and event planning with her passion and expertise in creating curated gatherings, to help her clients achieve their goals of attracting, retaining and wowing their plant-based, vegan and allergy-conscious guests. Whether it’s reviewing menus and wine lists, providing kitchen and service training to staff in hotels, resorts and dining establishments, or evaluating meetings, events and conference offerings, Angélica oversees all aspects of the contemporary guest’s experience to ensure it meets (and exceeds) their expectations. Angélica holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Marketing, and she is trained in High Impact Hospitality Consulting™. As part of Green Luxury Living's commitment to creating a more sustainable world, services encompass waste reduction techniques and eco-friendly products as much as possible. Green Luxury Living also donates 1 tree to Trees for the Future with each client project. Angélica’s services are offered online, or locally in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, and surrounding areas.

Today, I am joined by Natasha and Ed Tatton of BReD, a vegan bakery in Whistler, B.C. Canada.  Ed is a professional chef who attended culinary college and worked in high-end kitchens in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, but now specializes in making organic naturally leavened sourdough. As co-owner of BReD–Organic Sourdough with his wife Natasha, Ed leads a small bakery team, making and baking bread, pizza dough, and other small baked goods. These days, Ed’s food is compassionately 100% plant-based, a movement he is passionately excited to be part of and help grow for the benefit of people, the planet, and animals.   Natasha is an English teacher turned bakery manager, animal rights advocate and co-founder of BReD–(along with Ed). In her life before BReD, Natasha taught English all over the world and now leads a small front-of-house team of cashiers and baristas. Taking on various food and beverage roles nurtured her desire to establish a vegan eatery to provide more compassionate food choices. If you love to eat, you are in for a treat, the way Natasha and Ed talk about food will leave you inspired to explore new (and possibly even more compassionate) ways to feed and nourish yourself.  Media Links Website: edsbred.com Instagram: @eds_bred Facebook: Bred – Organic Sourdough  https://www.facebook.com/EdsBReD/?ref=br_rs To order BReD the cookbook The Hummus Recipe that saved BReD!

Today, I am joined by coach, Alyssa Almond of Rooted Rise. Alyssa began her career with Teach For America as a 3rd grade bilingual teacher in Washington Heights, NYC. Her fascination with languages and language learning called her to specialize in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). She helped immigrants acquire the language skills needed to succeed in the US. Alyssa worked both as a middle school ESOL teacher and as a program administrator in Adult Basic Education.   But, her veganism reminded her that she’s not just about humans.   So, in 2017, after some intensive coaching, Alyssa gathered her courage and left her full-time job in education.   This leap landed her at a farmed animal sanctuary and The Last Pig. Following her passion, talent, and empathetic nature led her to create the perfect role for herself.  As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), she gets to help animals by supporting the humans who serve them!  In this episode, Alyssa and I get into the philosophy of veganism and discuss a specific idea called Effective Altruism, we also discuss how we each approach spreading the vegan message, the cats with whom we live, farmed animal sanctuaries, Alyssa’s coaching practice, and of course hummus.  To connect with Alyssa: Visit her website at www.rootedrise.com www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-almond-ⓥ https://www.facebook.com/rootedrise/ https://www.instagram.com/rootedrisecoaching/ Mentioned in this episode: Peter Singer Effective Altruism/The Life You Can Save A Well Fed World Farm Sanctuary To connect with me: Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @didyoubringthehummus Join my mailing list and get 3 free recipes just for signing up! https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/3recipepdf Join my Podcast Fan Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/didyoubringthehummus/ Book a free 30 minute call with me: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/book-online To be a guest on the podcast: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/beaguest ©2023 Kimberly Winters - Did You Bring the Hummus LLC Theme Song ©2020 JP Winters ⁠@musicbyjpw⁠
