Podcast: Play in new window
Today’s episode is the first with new audio hardware and software at Unity Online Radio, and I learned that about 30 seconds before we went on the air. So this is why they say, “The show must go on.” And it did — maybe not seamlessly, but beautifully, largely thanks to my lovely and admirable guests, Sarah Gross Fioli (pictured above right with her dog, Mocha), and Kimberly Wilson, shown above left with a model Eiffel Tower emblematic of her favorite city and her signature style.
Sarah Gross Feoli is a former ballerina, an animal advocate, vegan chocolatier, and co-founder with Nira Paliwoda of U.S. Veg Corp, the two-woman conglomerate behind the Arizona Vegetarian Food Festival (Scottsdale), the California Vegetarian Food Festival (Hollywood), and the New York Vegetarian Food Festival (NYC), the eighth iteration of which is coming Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20. I’ll be speaking, along with a slew of experts you know from the Main Street Vegan Podcast and elsewhere: Chef Fran Costigan, Robert Ostfeld, MD, Michelle McMacken, MD, super-author Gene Stone, tee shirt titan Dominick Thompson, Approaching the Natural’s Sid Garza-Hillman, Feeding the Hungry Ghost author Ellen Kanner, The Vegan Roadie Dustin Harder, and Vaute designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart.

Sarah is also the CEO of Rescue Chocolate, an animal-oriented B-Corp that contributes all profit to organizations helping homeless companion animals. (And the chocolate is so yummy!! — it ships all across the U.S.)

Blast from the past! In the interview with Kimberly, she mentions her yoga (and vegan) mentor, Jivamukti’s Sharon Gannon, who shares this episode from November 2014 with yogi and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.
