Today’s guest is muscle man, Robert Cheeke. If you haven’t met Robert, then you must not be a fan of building muscle on a vegan diet. He started off as a vegan bodybuilder and then transitioned to work for one of the largest vegan companies in the world and now he’s doing his own thing! He is an author of a few books...namely “Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness” and also “Shred It.” He’s also a speaker, activist, and all around pretty awesome guy. I had the chance to talk to him and he shared some great insight into working for a vegan supplement company, his eventual stepping away from that company to pursue his own interests and deeply invest in his whole food, plant-based lifestyle and so much more. Lots of great stuff in this episode, so thanks for tuning in.

Today’s guest is Jill McKeever. I discovered Jill shortly after I purchased my Instant Pot and was looking for creative specialties. She is a great Instant Pot chef and has a wonderful YouTube Channel called “Simple Daily Recipes.” The thing that I love about Jill is that she doesn’t take this plant-based journey thing so seriously. I mean, look….it’s serious in the sense that it is important to our health, but she doesn’t let any negativity in...and that is really great. Enjoy Lean Green DAD Radio!

I was so excited to do this podcast and had the great honor to meet  Mick Foley and his daughter Noelle at an event with my non-profit partner Kulture City last year.

Well, we will talk about all that, but the significance of this episode number is that the changes that he made ended up helping him lose over one hundred pounds. I’m really excited for you to hear this podcast, so let’s get right into it. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the one and only, hardcore legend, WWE Hall of Fame Superstar, multi-time best-selling author, stand-up c
