Plant-Powered People Podcast
Life is always easier and more exciting when you have friends to share in your journey, and the path to plant-based living is no exception! On the Plant-Powered People Podcast, you’ll hear from folks who’ve embraced plant-based living while they share their experiences overcoming obstacles in the most graceful (and sometimes not-so-graceful) ways.
Join hosts Michelle Cehn (founder of World of Vegan) and Toni Okamoto (founder of Plant Based on a Budget) every other week as they tackle challenges like being the only vegan in the family, what it’s like to be plant-based while working at a non-veg restaurant job, and more!

Ep. 0 - Michelle & Toni: Plant-Powered People
Welcome to the first episode of the Plant-Powered People Podcast, with your hosts: Michelle Cehn and Toni Okamoto. Today, we’re discussing our hopes and dreams for our brand new podcast, and a brief background behind who we are -- but don’t worry, you’ll learn a lot more about us in future episodes. ;) Michelle shares her story about how she developed a strong love for animals as a child. And Toni talks about how her high school track coach introduced her to a life without red meat for better health and performance, which ultimately led her to veganism. We’re so excited for this inaugural episode, and we’d love to see your review of it on iTunes!
