How I left corporate life to rescue animals, with Dan McKernan

In today's episode, Holly chats to star of Saved by the Barn, Dan McKernan. He explains how he thought his house mate was crazy when she went vegan, only to go vegan himself after experiencing delicious plant-based food and watching Cowspiracy. He goes on to discuss leaving a high-paid job in the tech industry to rescue farm animals, how his videos went viral, and how his animals are now celebrities. They discuss why we eat some animals and love others, what it's like being surrounded by old-school farmers, and Dan's new illustrated children's book - This Farm is a Family – which is teaching compassion to children. Coming up next Thursday: Holly chats to actress and activist Alicia Silverstone.Music by Purple Planet.Share your journey with us! • Become a patron at patreon.com/simplyvegan and access video interviews, live chats with Holly and Molly and free downloads• Visit veganfoodandliving.com and try our delicious recipes• Tag us in your social posts, @veganfoodandliving• Share this episode with a friend• Try an issue of Vegan Food and Living magazine for just 99pMusic by Purple Planet Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
