Well, one veggie at a time.  [00:03:09] So, Carolyn, you've got such a prolific pass in history and right now so many different endeavors that you're working on.  [00:03:16] But I'm hoping before we get started with all of that, you can dress kind of a story or a narrative of your academic past and professional history prior to where you came to right now look like.  [00:03:29] Well, it's it's I always say that when I moved to Los Angeles. Ever since I got here to now, I've lived nine lives. I, I came out here for kind of what most people come out here for, for the industry. And it's it's been a part of my life the entire time. But I've said Wade and gone off path and off tangents so many times. But somehow it all kind of still ties in. So I went to college at the University of Miami for undergrad. I actually was on the medical school track and I wanted to be a pediatric surgeon. And I remember one Christmas break I was talking to a doctor. I was I was actually working at a dentist office and my dentist and I were chatting and he was like, you know, the medical field isn't what it used to be and, you know, all kinds of things. And I never had any doubts about what I wanted to do. But that conversation did kind of bring something up for me that I thought, well, wow, you know what? If this is something that I really, really want to do, it's going to be years before I'm actually done. So I would have had medical school, then residency and then specialty and fellowship. It would have I would have been in school for like 15 years. I thought, well, what if after all of that schooling, I don't like it? Or I thought, well, what if I want to have a family and I'm never gonna have the time to enjoy them because I'll be on call it all started to kind of come up for me. And I thought, well, if I'm having these doubts now, then maybe I should walk away from it. And I was on full scholarship, so I had a couple of years left. And to my mother's chagrin, I said, OK, I'm not going to medical school. And I said, I'm going to I'm going to go to film school. And she was not happy with me, but my father was because he was the creative. And I had actually been since I was five years old, actually, since I was three. I had been dancing and since I was five, I'd been acting. So I'd and I'd been writing my whole life and singing. So I, I kind of went back to my creative roots and I was like, I'm going to do this. And it kind of was no skin off my teeth because I didn't I didn't have to pay. If I had to pay for school to do that, I probably wouldn't have made such a bold choice. But I did because I. I really thought, you know what, I. I've always been creative. I've always wanted to do things in a different way. And when I remember speaking to that dentist that day at work and he did say he's like, you don't really get to do things the way you want to do them anymore. And I thought, wow, if I can't practice medicine the way I want to, then maybe this isn't for me. And it all worked out because once I got to L.A., I came out here. I didn't know anybody. Right after undergrad, I got out here, packed up my Dodge Neon and pulled a tight little U-Haul cross country through through a hurricane. And I got here and my life has been pretty, pretty insane in a in a cool way. I'd say I was working in the industry for a while. I was I was acting and I was singing. And I realized a few years in that it wasn't how I imagined it. I did pretty well growing up in Florida. But the scene out here is quite different. And excuse me, I am I didn't love it anymore because I didn't get to be creative. I didn't like the business side of it. And I didn't like the. How do I say just the kind of the myopic view about things in the business as far as. It wasn't so much based on talent. It really was based on looks and not not so not so much good looks. It just very much type berry type. I'm Latina, but I don't necessarily look Latina to casting directors. So I started to see a pattern and I was like, this is just an uphill battle and I don't even love doing this anymore. And I said, I'm out. And I ended up falling into PR. I was working with a woman and we launched now pretty successful yoga clothing line. And I learned invaluable information and skills from from launching that brand. I learned about ya and and launching a line and and the clothing world and all of that. And I ended up leaving there and going to PR firm. And then I ended up starting my own PR firm. And from that. Yeah. So I thought I was going to do it myself and do it for clients that can't necessarily pay a twenty five hundred to five thousand dollar retainer fee. I want to help the little guy. So I did. So I was doing PR and events. So I did everything from lifestyle PR for clients to weddings, to wrap parties, to fashion shows. And I. That was my life for for quite a while. But before that. Probably within the first few months that I moved to L.A. because of the whole looks and being in the industry, I had read a book called Fit for Life. And it was about food combining because, of course, I got here and I thought, oh, my gosh, I'm going to be really skinny. You know, 22 year old me was thinking kind of a little bit on the shallow side, but it was a book that changed my life. And because it was a fad about food, combining about combining your carbs and your proteins again. Twenty two year old me thought, oh, well, I'd rather eat carbs than protein. And I ended up going vegan plant based pretty much overnight without really knowing much about it. Just that I wanted to. To lose weight or, you know, some ridiculous reason. But it resonated with me so much that I started to really research it. And because I wanted to do it for health reasons and do it correctly. I learned to love it. I ended up getting my masters in holistic nutrition and I started my PGA natural pathic medicine. And I thought, wow, I'm so glad I left medical school because this this makes so much more sense to me. And has at the time, back in 98, there was there was nothing I didn't know any begins. There were there wasn't even a Whole Foods yet. There were, you know, small little markets and everything was very hippie dippy in that space. So I was one of the only people that I knew that was eating that way and living that lifestyle. And I kind of got tired of eating bowls of guacamole and and cucumber sandwiches and salad. I thought there's got to be more to life than the signs of going to culinary school, because I really I always loved cooking, but I wanted to see what else was out there as far as swaps and figuring out how to eat, you know, in this new lifestyle. But I did all of that for my own knowledge, not necessarily to become a chef at a restaurant or open a restaurant or anything like that. I did do some private nutrition counseling for clients, but I. I knew that that wasn't my passion either. So really, I just loved having that knowledge base behind me. So cut to I had my PR firm and I'm doing quite a bit of travel. And because of my dietary restrictions, I was always figuring out ways to manipulate menus. I would I like to say McGyver cook in my hotel room. I always have snacks and I thought, hey, I can't be the only person that's going through this. Not necessarily that there are other beacons out there, but anyone with a dietary restriction, be they diabetic or want to look fat or whatever the case may be. There are a lot of dietary issues out there that keep people from traveling. And I've been traveling since I was a kid. I was born in Colombia. I'm Colombian and I've been all over the world. And I thought, hey, this this could be a resource for people. So I started pitching the idea for a show around two networks back in 2005 for my show, The Healthy Voyager. And it was a little too early in the space they did, but they were way too afraid to take a risk on anything health related. I had a major network say we love the idea, but we don't do healthy. And that's the whole point. We need to have options because at the time the most popular travel shows were either eating bugs in the Amazon we see or eating like a 50 pound burger. And I was like, well, that might be entertaining to watch, but for the consumer and the viewer, this doesn't help them. No one's actively going to travel just to look for these things, you know? So. So I said, you know what? I'm going to launch it on my own because I was a publicist and because I had the film background, I created the show on my own and I launched it on YouTube. And because I couldn't necessarily travel all the time, I I started a little companion blog to do some write ups about places and even local places. And then I started to post my recipes.  [00:12:54] And so what was that original show about? Was it a catchall? Was it just you discussing you interviewing people? You talking about new places to eat? What was the healthy Voyager that first original YouTube series about?  [00:13:09] It was. It was a travel show. So I would travel to places and I would go to Vegan restaurants or find Vegan food at specific restaurants. So that was very, very niche. Now it's I still have the travel show, but it's more adventure based, sustainability based. I do talk about food and some restaurants, but I found that that content is an evergreen because restaurants, clothes, restaurants change. So, you know, some of those old episodes that are still up, it's funny, like none of the restaurants exist. So I thought. And because I started traveling more and getting sponsored more and working with with big brands, I was able to to put together a much more well-rounded show. So I do some really cool things now. It really is more adventure based, culture based. There's still that culinary aspect, but not in the sense of promoting specific Rothera restaurants, because, again, you know, they come and go. So. So, yeah. So I love the show. And then within all this time I had a cooking show, I, I, I watched all kinds of little businesses under the umbrella of the healthy voyageur. But yeah. That the little idea that came from pitching to networks is now my full time job this week. It's 15 years old, at least from the idea with the germ of the idea. When I had it was 2005 and now it's my full time gig and I. I love it.  [00:14:40] Absolutely. So what was kind of your first turning break when you started making you said you started garnering sponsorships and you were developing all these projects. You have a cookbook out. What is the name of your cookbook? It is.  [00:14:54] Is it the Healthy Boyages Global Kitchen?  [00:14:58] There it is. And so when did that come out?  [00:15:02] That came out December of 2011. So next year, I can't believe it'll be 10 years. I'm going to release 10 year anniversary edition and add some more recipes and kind of update it. Yeah.  [00:15:17] Did you have sponsorships prior to that or did they kind of come and go? And do you find, given that you have the PR backing? Are people approaching you? When was that career turn?  [00:15:30] You know, there are a lot of people that have been in industries and they're like at some point people started approaching me.  [00:15:35] Yet that started to happen a little earlier than I had expected. But because I started the brand way before social media even existed, there was no Facebook. There was no Twitter. There was no Instagram. There was nothing. I was kind of screaming into a vacuum. I didn't know who my audience was, but I was building an email list because that was the only way that I could basically chat with my with my audience and fans or anyone that had any questions. So I started a newsletter, and that was my way to keep in contact with people. And then as social media started to grow, I was always an early adopter. So I was able to kind of jump on the bandwagon. Each time a new platform popped up on the ground floor. So but I think I was able. To get ahead of the game, because I was around before that started so early on, because, yes, I was a publicist. I was pitching myself to brands and I was kind of teaching them the new way to market their their product or service before influencers were even a thing because they were using all of their marketing budgets for traditional media. So print media, TV media spots, things like that. And I was saying, hey, for a fraction of that cost, I can create this content for you. I have X amount of eyeballs and viewers and that sort of thing. So I was able to work with brands and kind of teach them a new way of thinking. And then as social media started to pop up, more people started to come to me. And then now their social media agencies that wrangle all the brands and then companies. So it started off early on with me pitching and then people started to find me. And then social media blew up. And and now it's it's me kind of being able to say, oh, I'm not going to work with that brand or this brand. But yeah, it's been a pretty neat evolution, seeing it from its infancy where there was no way to talk to people outside of the traditional pitching. And now it's it's just crazy.  [00:17:48] Well, hindsight's beautiful, too, because you can see that like Winding Road, which at the time is usually just kind of seeming chaotic.  [00:17:55] I think I'm curious with because you've dropped into a little bit about the fact that, you know, you move to L.A. was a very external physical environment that made you health conscious or at least looked towards this fit for Lifebook. But I'm wondering after that and how you would define your Vegan life now, what attributes do you tie into it? And also, what is the differentiation that you make between the terms Vegan and plant based?  [00:18:28] Yeah, well, starting off with that, I say Vegan just because it's easier, I, I like I prefer a plant based because I went plant based. For health purposes, I solely talk about it from a health perspective and a dietary perspective. What I'm consuming, whereas Vegan is the catch all for people who live the lifestyle that have no animal products whatsoever. So how they eat, how they dress, the products they use. And that tends to be people who are more on the animal rights side of veganism. I still identify with that because I. I do love animals. I don't wear animal products. I don't use any cosmetics or beauty products or anything household products that contain any animal products. But that's only because after I realized that it wasn't I wasn't just doing myself a favor eating plant based, that I was helping the environment and helping the animals. That's when I started to realize, oh, I can live this holistic lifestyle that that helps everything, not just me, but I still my number one reason for having done it is for health reasons. So that's why I tend to use plant based, because unfortunately, Vegan tends to have a knee jerk reaction. For most people that is negative. And I, I understand why there. I mean, I find that any extreme lifestyle has there there are loud mouths that kind of ruin it for everybody else, you know. So, you know, be a beat as and be at Crossfade, be whatever it is. Anyone that's evangelical about something tends to kind of leave a bad taste in other people's mouths that are like, oh, that's crazy and cultish, you know? So I get it. I understand the passion behind the hardcore vegans, but I have always led by example. I've never been negative, I've never been preachy. And in fact, I, I have been able to persuade people to become Vegan probably more than most vegans that I can think of, because I've just said, hey, look, I live my life, I travel the world, I. I hang out with people that are not Vegan most of none of my friends. Very few of my friends are actually being. And so I've always been very inclusive. I feel that that's that's why I like the word plant base, because it just sounds so much nicer and approachable, because unfortunately, the word Vegan is a bit of a turnoff, even though now, again, with the hindsight, I would have never imagined how insanely popular it has become.  [00:21:22] Right. Well, and even more so over the past, I thought it was kind of gaining traction.  [00:21:26] And then things like game changers and the certain things have come out that have sent people into the plant pace interest that probably would never have been there throughout X three generations. And what people? Why people come over and how it's defined? I think that for a long time, companies were turning to the term plant base to, like you say, kind of avoid the stigma. However, I've spoken to a couple of Vegan restaurant owners and things like that, particularly overseas, over the past couple of months. And a lot of them are a little disgruntled because people are using the term plant based to include things and items and products, even in stores that are not Vegan. And so they're kind of attaching, you know, plant base has become this new like fortified by the deep fortified. Yeah. And it's it's this concept of saying something healthy without it being healthy, which if you know, a lot of the documentaries and information systems coming out will show you is that that's actually the form of manipulation to the downfall of a product. You know, when you start fortifying something with vitamins, you start actually depleting it of what was originally good for it. And so people saying plant based and kind of taking over that term, there's a lot of fear that it will become molested to the point where it no longer even identifies with being plant based or Vegan. And so I'm wondering, as a cookbook author, do you? You must care a great deal about ingredients and what is going in and and really identifying. But do you think that the term plant based has become manipulated or do you think it's still like a strong avenue for people to trust that it's meaning something? I mean, I think people are identifying something that is more healthy. Fewer ingredients.  [00:23:10] Yeah, I got it. I agree because I remember when everyone started jumping on the natural bandwagon. Everything anything can be labeled natural because there's no regulation. So as long as there's water in the product, they can label it as natural. So it really is misleading for the consumer. And unfortunately. So I actually heard that organic will now be unregulated so people can use that and mislead customers. So I think it is unfortunate that the word plant base, because I do think that it it sounds nicer. I think it is kind of all encompassing. But just because it's plant based doesn't mean it's Vegan. But if it's Vegan, it is always plant based. Right. So I think people just need to be discerning when they're reading labels and what they're getting. But it is unfortunate that people will take something that's good and use it to manipulate the consumer, unfortunately. But absolutely. Yeah. I want to get back.  [00:24:16] Yeah, I do. I do too.  [00:24:17] I like the term and I hope it stays pure. I hope we get some regulatory measures in mind as well, because having something plant based that you turn around and has like yellow number three and it feels deceptive for some reason.  [00:24:29] And I want to get back to something you mentioned about the cookbook you talked about or early on and just kind of starting off the ethos of your career. You talked about really caring about dietary restrictions and, you know, turning to this Vegan way of living and things like that. It really opens you up to people who weren't just Vegan, but people who had all kinds of dietary restrictions, which now is kind of a really big deal for, you know, people who are lactose intolerant or people who have a gluten tolerance and things of that nature. And I'm wondering if as you go about constructing the cookbook, I know it's it's now almost a decade over now, but do you pay special attention because your original focus was dietary restrictions when you go to combine or as a chef when you go to make things like that, do you specifically ask yourself, looking at a dish like what can I exclude or include to make sure that those people with restrictions are included in a certain number of meals? Or is that a consideration that you have?  [00:25:33] Yeah, actually, when I wrote the book, I had that exact thing in mind where I wanted it to be inclusive for as many people as possible. So each recipe has an option for gluten free, low sodium, low sugar. So actually should send you a copy of the book. But there is a little key with little icons, and that's at the top of each page. And then there Asterix at the bottom for the squawks. If you want to make this dish for two specific for nice special diet. So I thought of that early on because I didn't want it again, because I always wanted to be inclusive, not just Vegan. And I actually remember fighting with my publisher because they wanted me. It says right under the heading, right under the title. It says one hundred fifty plant based recipes from around the world. And I fought them on the word plant based versus Vegan because again, my scope was always casting a wider net and being more mainstream versus niche. And I think that's why I've been able to I was always more mainstream. I never started in the Vegan world and, you know, jumped the river. I was always on the other side of the river and figured, well, the vegans will find me anyway. For me, it was much more important to be inclusive of everyone else and and showcase this alternative as an actual alternative. Not not anything that needs to be black and white. Not that you have to completely go vegan or anything like that. I wanted it to be an option for people and to be. Approachable to not turn anyone away. So I'm glad that I I won that battle. Yeah. But what I did. Very inclusive and all the recipes that I make on my site as well. I try to offer. There are some that are kind of difficult to do a certain way. But I would say a good eighty five percent of my recipes can be made to suit any special diet.  [00:27:43] Yeah. And substitutions I think are key. I mean, I really feel and I've I've been Vegan, you know, for over seven years now.  [00:27:52] And so I definitely am a little bit more sage in that. But I think that the first thing that people think is you must live off breads. And then the second I tell them that I'm gluten free, they think you don't need anything. But actually, I think every cuisine and I want to get into this on your site, you kind of get into like a hint towards this, but every cuisine all over the world can be altered. You know, and and made to be whether it's Vegan or gluten free. And there's actually a lot of freedom once you start to just understand the ingredients of that land, like what they you know, I just got back from Fiji and all of my friends said, did you starve? And I said, no, they have cassava, which is like this healthy friend of the potato, which I think potatoes are healthy anyway. But many people here don't like it. And I give them a start to things like that. But cassava is this even healthier big sister of a potato and that all these do they have long beans, which are green beans anyway, once you kind of. And it actually changes your relationship with traveling, you know, as a Vegan, you know, actually cooking and things like that and going places and having these conversations which become education. Introducing the concept of veganism to a Fijian is fascinating. You know, it's a fun time because they'll say, OK. So you don't eat any of that. But do you eat fish, you know? I mean, you climb through almost every single category. And so I want to turn to that with you just because I think your Web site, especially as it as a Voyager is as this site is called the Healthy Voyager. I, I want to get into your experience with traveling and what what determines what bits and pieces you include in the site and therefore your overall brand and how you kind of curate all of it. Can you climb us through, first of all, what the site is intended to do and kind of explain to your viewer?  [00:29:44] Sure. Yeah, it's it's definitely a resource for people and not just people wanting to go on culinary trips. It's geared towards travel destinations around the world. And I showcase the hotels, sustainable activities and services. Obviously, restaurants, tips. And and then I have the recipes. And then I also host lifestyle healthy articles, things like that. I used to do product reviews, but I kind of got away from that just because so many people do that. And I kind of feel like I wanted to to narrow it back down to to boil it down to to the core of what I'm interested in, which is, of course, travel and food. But as far as curating, I travel all the time for work. So it really depends. I cover every place that I go. And some of the times I'm traveling because I'm working with a tourism board or I'm working with a cruise line or I'm working with a local CBB. So it really just depends which I also love because it's never the same thing. Every trip is completely different. Sometimes it's solo travel. Sometimes it's a solo press trip. Sometimes I'm with a group of media. Sometimes I get to bring somebody with me. So it's all very different. And every destination has been quite different in the way that the itineraries have been set. Whether it's by me or in tandem with the tourism board or them setting it up for me entirely. So the scope is always different, but I try to find the most interesting things. I do like to cover some of the, I would say maybe generic things for those travelers who are looking for that. But then I will showcase something that is off the beaten path or a hidden gem. I like a mix and match of that because not everyone I was actually speaking with someone. Yes. Or about yesterday about this. Not everyone is super adventurous. I tend to take quite a few risks and I like I like some crazy adventures. And the the more exotic and kooky and less touristy places, the more I like it. But that's not true for everyone.  [00:32:07] So I like to be able to be of service to everyone and showcase something for every person because everyone has different tastes and needs when it comes to travel. But one of one of the things I've really loved to do, and this has happened more and more, more over the past few years, is do things with locals. Recently I was, well, not too recent, but I was in Finland and I was in the Arctic Circle and this little town called Rovaniemi, and it was late summer and it was absolutely gorgeous. And I met this woman who shows how traditional lap Landis lifestyle was and how she's keeping it alive. And she hosted these really cool classes. She does these really cool art projects and brings people into her home. So she and I went foraging in the forest behind her house and picked lingonberries that went back to her house and made a Vegan lingonberry pie. So for me, that was just an incredible experience. And for her, again, like you were saying, to explain being Vegan to someone who lives off the land in Finland like that is like, what are you talking about?  [00:33:17] But she when we finished the pie, she's like, wow, this is really delicious. And it doesn't taste any different than the one that we would've normally made. So it's so fun to be able to share my knowledge and lifestyle with somebody who wouldn't normally and then vice versa. So I've found that to be the the most special thing that's coming out of what I'm doing now as the show and my brand has evolved.  [00:33:43] Absolutely. Yeah, I think it's true.  [00:33:46] I think that those kinds of interactions and growth opportunities, when I first became Vegan, you know, even the opportunity to call ahead, when you were when I was making reservations towards restaurants that required it and things like that, and then having opening up a dialog with chefs and things was just not pursued with me, you know, to have them reevaluate their craft. Most restaurants with chefs that, you know, where you take reservations and things of that nature, like they're they care. You know, they're artists and they're scientists. They're craft makers. And they really want to explore some of those things.  [00:34:21] And so I've had really good experiences. You know, everyone's had bad. Anytime you come across across an exclusionary lifestyle.  [00:34:29] But I've had some really beautiful opportunities as well. And I think that anytime there's an opportunity to open up a dialog between an industry and an individual or two individuals, it's it's gonna be a good thing. So I always I try to push those stories more. You know, when people get a little bit nervous and the day has come and gone for being nervous about a plant based or Vegan lifestyle, because if anyone has turned on any kind of social, you know, that's where all of us and most definitely our great grandchildren are headed. We cannot sustain the ME Dadri industry. So is not meoh mathematics. This is not my belief anymore. Like they pushed the numbers.  [00:35:05] So coming to light every day.  [00:35:09] Absolutely. So if someone wanted to work with you or get your advice or get your consulting expertize the best way to contact you is it through healthy Voyager, your dot com.  [00:35:20] Yeah, yeah, absolutely, if I can share my emails. Carolyn at the healthy Voyager dot com and I help people in all sorts of ways, from nutrition counseling to personal branding. In fact, right now with them, with our current situation. I've I've been setting up a new website just for my consulting because I just have it kind of as a page on Healthy Boyd Recombinant tends to be buried by all the other content. But I'm launching a Web site that's just going to be for. Consulting and coaching and all the different things that I can help people with from personal PR or business PR menu, recipe development, health and wellness. So I. Because of my nine lives. I have quite a bit of information that I can help people in their transitions in life or setting up new businesses, entrepreneurs, anything like that.  [00:36:21] So I've decided to make that a separate thing from healthy Voyager. And hopefully I'll have that coming soon.  [00:36:29] Absolutely. For everyone listening. You can reach out to her as an as as these things come about. I'm sure that they're updated on her Web site. I want to say thank you so much, Carolyn, for speaking with me today.  [00:36:41] I know it's a crazy time period, and I know you're really busy and I appreciate you taking the time to lend us your wisdom.  [00:36:47] Yes. Thank you so much for having me.  [00:36:49] Absolutely. And for everyone else listening, you can contact her one more time. You've been speaking with Carolyn Scott Hamilton. Her Web site is Healthy Voyager dot com.  [00:36:59] And until we speak again next time. Stay safe and eat clean.
