NEW PODCAST EPISODE:This week, I'd like to introduce you to Kim-Julie Hansen, author of two outstanding vegan cookbooks and the creator behind one of the most popular vegan accounts on Instagram: @bestofvegan. Perhaps you're thinking, "Oh no, not another story about another 'influencer,'" but before you scroll past this episode, indulge me a little bit, because I gotta tell you, despite knowing her for nearly seven years, I found Ms. Hansen's story to be, in a word: RIVETING.There's a reason this episode is the longest yet, and, in all candor, I could have listened to Kim-Julie unwind another hour's worth of her tale; I only concluded our chat because our rears were growing numb from sitting in a pair of stiff hotel chairs. Whether it's the fact that she left home without finishing high school, was convinced to go vegan after writing an essay on why veganism was stupid, or that she started her business practically by accident, I felt like I was reading a novel I simply didn't ever want to put down. But even beyond these well-worn milestones on the Alpine Path, discerning listeners will discover a story studded with both grief and resilience and, threading through it all, a profound respect and hope in the what makes any of this worth it:Love.Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/3m3VfttSpotify: http://bit.ly/3zvGaDXYouTube: https://youtu.be/iKmyC8bxq9USIGN UP FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!We are giving away a copy of both Kim-Julie's new cookbook, Best of Vegan, along with a copy of my cookbook, The Korean Vegan.
