Ep 6: Will Tuttle: Speaking our truth and planting the seeds of compassion
Dr. Tuttle has been advocating for a compassionate world through veganism for decades. He's an icon. We challenge him with questions about intuition, remaining accepting despite knowing what we know, how spirituality and religion contributes - or doesn't - toward the vegan movement, and how we each can contribute.
Definitely stay tuned for the last few minutes where he delivers a laundry list of practical ways we can all make a difference.
