Why We Are Vegan Podcasts

There are no levels; you either are vegan or you are not. The second interview in this series, features Macneil Shonle. Macneil and I have been coworkers at a local San Diego-based company whose goal is to empower seniors to live independently for as long as possible via wearable personal emergency devices, smartphones and flip phones made specifically for the 60+ aging community and their families. Macneil has been vegan for 20 years. In this interview, he helps us understand why he became vegan and shares with us his personal vegan journey.

An Interview with Why We Are Vegan Founder, Gabrielle Hewson This is the first interview of the Why We Are Vegan podcasts interview series entitled "Why We Are Vegan", the genesis of the documentary by the same name, currently in production.

This first interview is the interviewer (moi) interviewing myself. Interviewing the interviewer was a great way to test my questions to make sure they flow well from one to the other, and to demonstrate the truths, hearts, minds, and dreams that propel those who answer them. We are all unique. I love that. These peeps embrace their uniqueness and move forward each and every day to inform and empower the rest of the world. Mentioned in this Episode: Skinny Bitch
