“Be kind, gentle, and friendly to yourself. It’s not all about perfection, it’s about progress.”
-Toni Okamoto, Founder of Plant Based On A Budget
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the dynamic duo Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn. Toni Okamoto is the Founder of Plant Based On A Budget and Author of the book Plant Based On A Budget. Michelle Cehn is the Founder of World of Vegan. Together they host the Plant-Powered People Podcast and just co-authored a new book called The Friendly Vegan Cookbook. We talk about their path to becoming massive vegan influencers (having millions of followers between them!), how they handle the holidays and the inevitable vegan questions, Michelle’s experience raising her child vegan, the moral dilemma of feeding your dog, their recommendations for growing a social following, at what point you can start making a living on social media, how they handle the haters, their take on the documentary The Social Dilemma, and all about their new book The Friendly Vegan Cookbook. Toni and Michelle are super impressive entrepreneurs and human beings.
