Brett Cobley is Epivegan. What first started as a bit of a hobby has now blossomed into a full-time gig. Brett recently launched his debut vegan cookbook "What Vegans Eat". It has been a smash hit already. We discussed social issues such as privilege, poverty and personal ethics. As well as the inspirations for his book and his path to becoming a fully self-employed vegan chef. Brett has a keen passion for philosophy and the nature of life, we could have probably talked for another hour on the topic of reality and what the hell we are all doing here but that might happen in episode 2. Brett is an exceptionally articulate young man who has a wide knowledge of life, which is surprising as he isn't even 30 yet. He is wise beyond his years! I am constantly amazed at how mature people under 30 are these days, I think maybe since I am almost 40 now that is just an age thing! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this weeks episode. Please comment, like and share! Robbie!

Nimai Delgado is an American body builder raised in South Mississippi and was raised vegetarian by his Hindu parents. “Both of my amazing parents are converted Hindus, and I was raised with a strong sense of compassion. Growing up, my diet has always been about 95% vegan, with the exception of dairy products.” In 2015 he dropped all animal products from his diet. This transformed his life & outlook. Nimai and I spoke about his life as a full-time bodybuilder and health advocate, growing up in a Hari Krishna family. We also touched on topics such as effective advocacy, dealing with friends and family and the constant shock people experience when they find out he has never eaten meat. "Thoughts and actions are connected so tightly if we change the act of eating meat and eliminate it from our diet our thoughts on this topic will change."
