On today's show, we are speaking with plant-based entrepreneur, Ruth Tal. Her journey into the restaurant business all started after consuming a carrot juice that blew her mind. Ruth dropped out of university, took her OASP money and used it to open a mobile juice bar and vegan cafe in Toronto, Ontario - Juice For Life. Fresh Restaurants evolved from this cafe and is now 5 restaurants strong (4 in Toronto + 1 in Moscow) as it continues to grow. We dig into the details of her inspiring health and business journey!
