I have been a long time, devoted fan of The Vegan Zombie, and over our years of traveling in the same circles, I’ve been lucky enough to develop a friendship with its creator, Chris Cooney. I am so excited to finally have him on the podcast! Chris’ story is a really good one, and as a fellow creator who is plagued with self-doubt I really appreciate how candidly he speaks about his own challenges in that area. Chris has a huge project in the works, a full-length feature film called A44.  He’s crowdfunding the project right here, and I am a proud backer of the project. Take a listen to the podcast to find out more. If you like this podcast, please consider joining my Patreon community for special perks and community vibes!
