What the hell is up?!
In this episode, I sit down with @DrFarazHarsini , CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), and campus coordinator Christian Maxey to talk about what we've learned after thousands of conversations on college campuses across the country. We dive deep into the question: What actually changes someone's mind?
We discuss:
- Why the vegan message should never be watered down
- Why "bigger cages" and welfare reforms miss the point
- How one conversation can completely change someone's life
- The psychology behind effective outreach
- Why universities are the most important battleground for animal rights
- How ASAP is building the future of the vegan movement
- Practical outreach tips you can start using today
This isn't just a conversation about activism—it's about creating a world where going vegan isn't an accident, but an intentional choice everyone has the opportunity to make.
If you've ever wondered how to become a more effective advocate for animals, this episode is for you.
