😲 Don’t start a business in the #vegan and #plantbased sector.
So said Matthew Glover, in my recent interview with him for Vegan Business Tribe (streaming exclusively on the VBT website now).
Is he right? Let me know your thoughts 👇

This man has fought for decades to stop ILLEGAL whaling and now he's arrested. Outrageous. #FREEPAULWATSON
This morning, Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Nuuk, Greenland by Danish federal police, who boarded the M/Y John Paul DeJoria as soon as it docked.
The crew had stopped to refuel while en route to the Northwest Passage as part of #OpKangeiMaru, our campaign aimed at intercepting Japan’s newly-built factory ship, the Kangei Maru, in the North Pacific.
It is believed that this arrest is connected to a previous Red Notice issued for Watson’s anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic. This development comes as a surprise since the Foundation’s lawyers had reported that the Red Notice had been withdrawn. However, it appears that Japan had made the notice confidential to facilitate Paul’s travel for the purpose of making an arrest.
Although Japan has operated in violation of the ICJ ruling for several years, they ceased Antarctic high-seas whaling in 2016 and now only hunt whales within their territorial waters. CPWF suspects that Japan intends to resume high-seas whaling in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific by 2025, and believes the reactivation of the Red Notice against Captain Watson is politically motivated, coinciding with the launch of the new factory ship.
Paul is currently in custody, and it is unclear if Denmark will extradite him to Japan.
We need Paul released immediately! We urge the Danish government to release Paul and reject this politically motivated request.

💡Telling personal stories and having a story bank of anecdotes, as a founder, isn't fluffy, or a luxury, it's essential.
I share why on the Veganpreneur Revolution podcast recently with @KathleenGage & @VLynnhawkins.

More #storytelling goodness! 💖Another podcast I was interviewed on a few weeks ago, this time with the lovely Kimberly Winters of @bringthehummus (the podcast for all things #vegan). 👉 Check out the episode wherever you listen to podcasts or here:

💡Story structures don't have to be complicated. I love the And, But, Therefore one that I learned about from Park Howell. Here's how it works, as I shared on the new Veganpreneur Revolution podcast recently with @KathleenGage & @VLynnHawkins.

💖 There are so many amazing women in the #vegan & animal protection movements – some of whom are mentioned in this article on the @mercyforanimals blog and many who aren’t. I was (pleasantly) surprised to be included in the list.

💔 Truly despicable & part of the systemic, routine violence and abuse towards animals in the food industry.

🌈 15 years ago today I went ‘undercover’ to a gay conversion organisation’s conference and wrote about it for the Sydney Morning Herald state newspaper.
Although I I sprinkled some lightheartedness in this article, the stories I heard broke my heart. rfr.bz/t9uddfp
When I first met #vegan & animal activist Lynda Stoner, I’d completely forgotten she was in one of my favourite TV shows!
Here’s me telling that to her during an interview I did with her a couple of years ago 😊
💖 I’ve loved working with new #vegan brand Phytolove and esp its co-founder Camilla Brinkworth over the past few months as they brought Ahiflower (a new super omega oil supplement) to Australia.

💡Why #vegan & #plantbased businesses & leaders must embrace #storytelling.
Stephen Bartlett nails the importance of storytelling in business perfectly in this extract from his excellent book Diary of a CEO. 👉 I can and want to help you with this, so let’s work together.

Promoting animal rights (not just for cats & dogs) and veganism is one of the ‘worst’ causes for a celebrity in terms of their career as it does them no favours. So massive kudos to @rickygervais 😊👏
If the first 24 hours is anything to go by #Armageddon is going to be my biggest special ever. All thanks to you ❤️
This means Netflix have to pay me even more for my next one and I can give even more money to animals. It's a good system 😂
