I’m going to take you back to the start of my vegan journey some eight years ago. It was a pivotal point for the entire direction my life would take. Becoming vegan wasn’t an overnight switch; it was a conscious decision spurred by a desire to live a more ethical and health- conscious life. My transition was fueled by compelling documentaries, insightful books, my children and the stories of those who had already embraced this lifestyle.
That’s going to include the birth of an idea that grew into what is now the Vegan Vitality Shop. I wanted to combine my newfound passion with a practical way to help others. There seemed to be a gap in the market, especially concerning vegan supplements a niche that was underserved at the time. So, I decided to take the plunge and start a brand that would not only cater to the needs of my fellow vegans but would also educate and inform.
You’re going to find out about my goals for this venture, which are close to my heart. I don’t just sell products I’m dedicated to promoting a comprehensive approach to a vegan lifestyle that’s grounded in my own experiences and those of the community I serve. It’s a way for me to give back and share the health benefits I’ve reaped since I ditched meat and dairy. With Vegan Vitality Shop, my aim has always been to support fellow vegans in thriving, not just surviving, on a plant-based diet.
Professional Experience Merging My Career with My Passion
Now, you might wonder how a visual effects cameraman ends up spearheading a vegan lifestyle brand. Let me share a bit of that with you.
For over three decades, I’ve been immersed in the world of visual storytelling, crafting scenes that capture the imagination, you’ve probably seen a good deal of my work. The meticulous attention to detail and the relentless pursuit of perfection in my craft are qualities I bring to Vegan Vitality Shop as well.
In my opinion, the parallels between my career in visual effects and my venture into the world of vegan nutrition are quite striking. Both require a deep understanding of complex subjects, whether that’s the intricacies of digital artistry or the nuances of nutritional science. Each role I’ve taken on has complemented the other, allowing me to merge my passion for veganism with the creativity and innovation from my visual effects background.
There have been moments when my career and vegan advocacy have interwoven, creating richer experiences in both realms. Whether it was opting for plant-based craft services on set or influencing others in the industry towards more sustainable practices, those experiences have affirmed my belief in the power of personal choice and its ripple effect.
Choose something that resonates with you that’s been my mantra. That’s how I live, and it’s what the Vegan Vitality Shop embodies. As we look ahead to the next part of our story, we’ll delve into the personal side of things. It’s not just about running a business or having a career; it’s also about the passions that fuel us, the hobbies that refresh us, and the communities that support us.
Passions and Personal Life More Than Just Nutritional Advocacy
I really hope that you’ve enjoyed getting to know the professional side of me, but there’s so much more to my story. Beyond my career in visual effects, photography and entrepreneurial efforts, I’m just someone who loves living a fulfilled life. At 60, I embrace my hobbies with the same zeal as a kid in a candy store or should I say, a vegan in a farmers market.
Being vegan enriches every aspect of my life. It’s not only about eating differently; it’s about viewing the world through a lens of compassion, health, and sustainability. It’s about the joy I find in my garden, tending to the plants that, in turn, nourish me. It’s about feeling invigorated from my daily jogs, knowing that a plant-based diet fuels my vitality.
I’ve discovered that sharing my vegan lifestyle through storytelling, whether it’s during a meal or through social media, can help to inspire and guide others. It’s these personal connections that often lead to the most significant transformations.
Don’t worry too much about where you are on your journey. If you’re just starting or you’ve been at it for years, there’s always room to learn, grow, and thrive with others. That’s the beauty of the vegan community it’s diverse, it’s supportive, and it’s always evolving.
