There are people in this world whose very DNA consists of a unique and unmistaken entrepreneurial sequence.  Sometimes they deviate from being entrepreneurial and their DNA reminds them that it’s not for them.  That’s the case of Andy Levitt – Founder and CEO of The Purple Carrot – the first 100% plant-based meal kit company in the market.  His entrepreneurial DNA was revealed at the young age of 11 when he had an idea to use his skill and know-how to write a book about solving a rubic’s cube.  Although he successfully finished the book, complete with hand-drawn illustrations, no publishing company said yes to his idea.  He credits that experience as an important lesson on failure and rejection, which is normal as an entrepreneur, and as unfortunate as that sounds, it’s a lesson that’s actually a blessing learned early and often. That’s just one of the many things Andy shared with us in this interview. He also shares lessons on starting a business from scratch, looking for investors or funding, and then selling a business.  He provides insights on how to actually put a business on the market, dealing with failed talks, and how deals succeed or fail.  Andy doesn’t just talk about funding and selling a business, he also talks about creating meaningful partnerships between firms and other brands that can help propel your brand forward.  Andy started and has grown Purple Carrot while being a husband and a father to 4 young kids which has forced him to better manage his stress and anxiety in recent years.  This is another fascinating take on entrepreneurship.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Andy Levitt, founder of the ever so popular Purple Carrot. Truth, we were not really sure where this episode was going to go, but with Andy’s honest and vibrant personality, we were able to get all the answers we wanted. How did he get the inspiration to begin a fully plant-based meal kit company when he wasn’t even plant-based, yet? How did his Crohn’s play into the picture? Who is consuming the vast amount of plant-based meal kits and why? Is Purple Carrot just preaching to the converted? And then there is the idea of children and how their unique personalities make them a driving force in the world. While this podcast is about information and is not an ad at all, we wanted you to know that we had the opportunity to try a kit while we were down in Florida and it was easy and delicious. We hope you saw the pics on our Instagram Stories. We must say, this was an extremely personable podcast and we hope you feel the love. Please join the conversations happening on social media, specifically @plantttrainers on Instagram and if you are Purple Carrot consumers, please tag us in your posts! After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2012, Andy began incorporating more plant-based meals into his diet to combat his illness. When this lifestyle change literally altered the course of his disease, Andy left his 20+ year career in pharmaceuticals and launched Purple Carrot out of his garage in October of 2014 with the mission to educate people about the power of food as medicine – and to introduce consumers to the health and environmental benefits that stem from plant-based eating. Today, the company is recognized as the first and only 100% plant-based meal kit, delivering fresh pre-portioned ingredients and simple step-by-step guides for people to make delicious, healthy plant-based meals in 40 minutes or less in the comfort of their own home. Working to educate consumers on the 20,000 edible plants available today, Purple Carrot creates six seasonal meals every week that make vegetables the star of the show without being dull or boring. Since launching three and a half years ago, Purple Carrot has established itself as a key player in the $2.2 billion meal-kit space, having experienced a staggering 400% growth since 2017.   In this episode we discuss: Becoming plant-based Crohn’s Mixed family eating styles The birth of Purple Carrot What’s growing faster vegan or plant-based Most consumers of plant-based meals are omnivorous Romaine lettuce Types of meals Tom Brady and TB12 Children being vegan The state of the world With great power comes great responsibility School lunches The future of purple carrot Actionable tips for quick change   Links to things we mentioned: Andy Levitt – , , Purple Carrot – , , , Longevity with 93 Year-Old Irene –   Thank you to this month’s Patrons for supporting us on : “Joe” Millie Pearson Mary Lou Fusi Carmen Fanous Emily Iaconelli Spanish Armada Michele Olender Don’t forget to contact us at  with your question for our Plant Trainers Facebook Lives!
