“The mission is to educate people and I think the more we allow people to educate themselves  the more they feel empowered to make lifestyle choices that work for them.”Marco BorgesThis is a special mid-week episode of the podcast featuring a panel discussion that took place at the Miami Seed Food and Wine Festival in November 2016 between me and Marco Borges, the CEO of 22 Days Nutrition – a plant-based nutrition products and meal delivery service he founded in partnership with Jay-Z and Beyonce.If you are new to the podcast, I implore you to check out my first conversation with Marco, RRP #195 — it's great.Since that day Marco and I have become very close. The real deal with a huge heart, he's a man truly committed to educating people about health and fitness, while providing them with the best possible organic, plant-based meal service and nutritional supplements.This a loose, fun, unmoderated off-the-cuff conversation about many things, with a focus on nutrition, fitness and effective strategies for being the best living advocate of a thriving, vibrant lifestyle. Specific topics include:* practicing non-judgment & the vegan lifestyle* striving for growth & expansion* managing perfectionism in business* the power of conscious consumerism* living in alignment with your core values* to compromise or not to compromise* plant-based at your own paceNOTE: The audio is wonky (and I'm being kind). Apologies in advance, but this recording was captured on less than stellar audio equipment before a live audience. Nonetheless, I thought it valuable enough to share.I love this guy and I hope you enjoy our lively banter!Peace + Plants,Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Soundcloud | Stitcher | GooglePlayCheck out Julie’s podcast divine throughlineThanks to this week’s sponsors:Headspace.com: Train your mind for a healthier, less-stressed life. Download the FREE app and begin their Take10 program, for 10 days of guided meditation at headspace.com/ROLLSHOW NOTESConnect With Marco & pick up his new book, The 22-Day Revolution Cookbook: The Ultimate Resource for Unleashing the Life-Changing Health Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet*Background, Context & Reference* 22-Days Nutrition: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
