Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.My guest today is Danny O'Malley. He's the founder and president of Before the Butcher, a leading provider of plant-based burgers and other meat alternatives. His company was among the first to bring meat look alike and taste alike products to the growing number of consumers concerned about the negative effects of meat production and consumption on animal welfare, climate change and human health. Danny is also an international speaker on plant based proteins. One of the fastest growing categories in the food space. Today, we talk about the effects of factory farming on the environment, meat alternatives, the ever-growing plant-based market, and more so let's get started.This episode is made possible by Ritual.

Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. Follow along on Instagram - @hippie.ceo & @hippiehavenshop & @bestowedessentialsShop zero waste home goods at www.hippiehavenshop.comRead podcast transcripts at www.hippiehavenpodcast.com
