Monks Meats Vegan Smokehouse

Rebecca Lopez-Howes and Chris Kim are the owners of Monk’s Meats Vegan Smokehouse. Chris shares how he pivoted from being an attorney, to creating the first vegan barbecue business in New York City with Rebecca. We discuss how eating vegan is not only a dietary preference, but also an ethical and political stance. Rebecca and Chris talk about the evolution of their business and where you can find their incredible vegan food today. This is a very inspiring episode for anyone who has worked hard to achieve a goal, but their true calling is actually something much more innovative and creative. Chris emphasizes the importance of listening to your intuition, and to do what you love.
