A former executive at Beyond Meat with over 25 years of experience in the food industry, Danny launched Before the Butcher in 2017 to create a more diverse, accessible, and sustainable lineup of meat alternatives. Under his leadership, the company introduced the first full family of plant-based proteins—ranging from burgers and chicken to turkey and sausage—that look, cook, and taste like their animal-based counterparts. Recognized as a thought leader and international speaker on plant-based innovation, Danny has earned widespread acclaim, including multiple FABI Awards and features in The New York Times, TODAY, Forbes, and CNN Business. He also broke new ground with Mainstream by Before the Butcher, the first plant-based meat priced competitively with traditional meats. With a growing social media following and a deep commitment to sustainability, Danny continues to champion plant-forward lifestyles through product innovation, advocacy, and storytelling.” Resources: Before the Butcher: https://beforethebutcher.com/

This week's episode with Jan Brandenburg, author of TheModern Mountain Cookbook: Jan Brandenburg is a full-time hospital pharmacist and parttime yoga instructor in Berea, KY. Now 62, Jan became a vegetarian in 1995 and fully vegan in 2006.With a love of cooking from an early age, she’s always been the family hostess, a role that didn’t change even as her lifestyle did. She continues to be the cook and organizer of most family gatherings even though none of her family is vegan. To Jan, hosting joyful vegan family events is a testament to the power of sharing beautiful vegan dishes and creating a welcoming environment. As a “vegan for the animals,” Jan hopes, in her small way, to make a difference for at least a few. Thought she loves all animals, her favorite is her mini dachshund companion, Josie.

Unfortunately, after investing his heart, soul, and life into Tanglewood, in early 2025, Loren and Tanglewood suffered devastating financial losses due to theft, hacking, and general misanthropy, and Tanglewood is no longer in operation. Loren, however, is still very much in action, and I serendipitously got to connect with him in person here in Nashville, Tennessee. Loren’s story is tragic, riveting, and a real-life testament to the fact that you never know what’s round the corner – and material things can be lost in an instant, as I learned firsthand when 1.28 Bitcoin was stolen from my Coinbase account after I was recruited for a legal project with companies Bit-x-Bit, Ascent Data, and supposedly top-tier law firm Morgan Lewis, and tech support company Ascent Data remote-accessed my computer to (ostensibly) help with a tech issue. Like Loren, I also learned at a new level that what can’t be taken is your values, your integrity, and your commitment to what truly matters – and of course that no level of material loss compares to the suffering that non-human animals are experiencing by the billions and trillions around the world, at this very moment, courtesy of our so-called "food" system.

Hayden Blane is a native Nashvillian, a wife, a mother, and an actor. She lived in LA for almost a decade, and her heart called her home to Nashville in 2014. She’s been vegan since 2007, when she read a book that opened her heart and changed her life. She’s a runner, 43 years around the sun, she loves all animals, but her favorite is her 6-year-old cavapoo, Leroy Jenkins. After seeing Free Willy at 13, she started a fund raiser for the whales at school and raised $65 :) If there is a film on where an animal dies, she won't watch it.

As they say, we can't choose what happens to us; we can only choose how we respond. Often it comes down to a choice between victimhood and empowerment - and Karen Kenney chose the latter. After her mother's brutal murder, Karen would have had every justification in the world for considering herself a helpless victim. Instead, she turned her energy to helping the beings that don't get to make any choices over their own existence - the animals in our so-called "food" system, medical labs, and beyond. In this week's episode I got to chat with Karen, who, I learned, has some uncanny things in common with the protagonist of my novel Marrying Myself, Julia Jones. They lived in Boston and went to Boston University, they're both vegan, and they both tragically lost their mothers at an early age. Clearly, Karen and I are cosmically connected! Karen is now lives in NH, and she’s been vegan for 23 years. She’s a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcast Host, and Life Coach, and you’ll see why she’s known for her storytelling, sense of humor, Boston accent and down-to-earth, no-bullshit approach to spirituality, self development, and transformational work. She’s been a yoga teacher for 25 years, and she’s also an author, speaker, and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast. Enjoy this conversation with Karen Kenney! Resources - Connect with Karen!
