Honestly, this is not a video I ever thought I would make. I thought this would be going on for a lot longer, but here we are. I almost quit bodybuilding this year. I’ve taken a huge step back for my health. I’ve dropped down from 275 pounds to about 240 pounds, and I thought that since I might not be competing anymore, maybe that meant the sport was dead for me. Now I’m seeing that doesn’t have to be the case. I’ve got people like Rosie going out there, winning pro cards, and my fire for bodybuilding has been reignited. More than that, I want to be much more of a vocal activist for the animals, and I want to share more of this journey. And now I have some very exciting news. I’ve had a lot more people sign up after seeing Rosie’s success, and I’m excited to document every single step of the journey, put it all on YouTube, and keep you guys with me as I take my partner, my life partner, Ali, through this journey step by step. If you want to be along for this ride, I’d love to have you. I cannot wait to show you where this is going. Thank you for being here. This has been one of the hardest years of my life, but also one of the most fulfilling. I think sometimes a part of you has to die so you can become the person you want to be instead.

We stand against oppression. We spread kindness. We believe a vegan world is possible. And when you dream big enough and work hard enough… dreams become reality. Before founding Vegan Squad a year ago, I kept breaking down because I felt like I wasn’t living in alignment. Even with 40+ clients, an incredible partner, and people praising me on social media… I knew something was missing. I felt empty. I felt alone. I felt like I was meant to build something bigger than myself. Fast forward one year… We’ve built a team of over 20 incredible people around the world. We’ve hosted more than 30 live events across 10+ cities. We’ve helped dozens of people go vegan. We’ve supported activism campaigns, including helping fight to shut down Ridglan Farms. We’ve launched community events, women’s groups, business mentorship, and connected thousands of people who believe a more compassionate world is possible. And we’re only getting started. We also launched the Vegan Squad Business Mentorship program because the way we see it… the more successful vegan businesses there are, the more vegan products, services, restaurants, coaches, creators, and entrepreneurs making veganism more accessible… the more people who choose a vegan lifestyle. The fewer animals suffer. The healthier our communities become. The closer we get to the compassionate world we all dream about. Our mentorship program already has more than 14 active vegan businesses making the world a better place every single day. I don’t want to be remembered for building a successful business. I want to be remembered for helping build a more compassionate world. Together, I truly believe we can create a vegan world in our lifetime. How do you want to change the world before you die?
