Many of us love a salad, but let’s face it, a pizza tastes better. Fruit salad is delicious, but nothing quite hits the spot like chocolate fudge cake. Rewind ten, even five years ago and a vegan’s diet would mostly consist of salad, pitta bread, and houmous. Gone are the days where we’d pay $15 for a salad in a restaurant because that was the only option. When you think of mac and cheese, ramen, Philly cheesesteak, and fried chicken, do you think vegan? If not, now you can. Lauren Toyota has been shaking up the internet and what it means to be vegan, on her YouTube channel and blog, Hot for Food. On her channel, create and post impressive recipe videos, proving that everything can be made vegan. She is also uniting vegan and comfort foods in her first-of-its-kind cookbook. Lauren Toyota is a Canadian TV personality who has worked for nearly ten years in the broadcast industry. For Toyota, being on air from a young age was always a dream come true – presenting, producing, and editing. In Vancouver, she was a MuchMusic VJ, working alongside A-listers like Selena Gomez, Pitbull and Justin Bieber. Although the broadcast path gave her endless opportunities, like traveling the world, she later on decided on becoming a host and producer, and now works as a full-time YouTuber/Blogger. Lauren and her unique vegan recipes have been featured in Laika Magazine, Women’s Health Magazine, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, Thrive, and Clean Eating Magazine. She was also Food Network Canada’s first and only vegan blogger and contributor, regularly sharing exclusive recipes for Meatless Monday. For Toyota, being in the food industry almost seemed like her destiny. Even prior to becoming a vegan, she was always interested in modifying and experimenting with recipes. As a child, she had aspirations of being a chef and working in a restaurant. Although more casual and less glamourized than TV, Lauren says her social media platforms are for passionate food people to have an infinite resource of vegan recipes. In today’s episode of the Plant-based profit show, Lauren Toyota reveals having hundreds of thousands of combined followers, fans, and subscribers, from YouTube to Twitter to Instagram. – making herself an inspirational, influential voice of a generation. Lauren speaks to the value of delicious vegan comfort food as a means by which to effectively encourage people to take the blinders off. We will also chat with Toyota about her journey from being a VJ to a YouTube star and, most recently, her brand new cookbook Hot for Food – All Day. Here is my conversation with Lauren Toyota!

Life is good. You’ve got a dream job as the Lead Makeup Artist on one of Canada’s Top Talk Shows…they love you and respect your work and the culture is awesome. Yet, you’ve got this little yearning inside of you that keeps whispering… “life is short….  you’re meant to be doing something else” This is the story of Natalie Matias. Recognized as one of Toronto’s most sought-after beauty professionals, Natalie Matias' experience spans 17 years across multiple platforms. Her incredible talent has earned her the position of Key MUA for numerous national lifestyle programs including The Social and ETalk’s Oscar Red Carpet Special. Over the course of her extensive career, Matias has worked alongside a long list of celebrities (The Weeknd, Jason Derulo) thought leaders (Arianna Huffington, Liz Gilbert) and social influencers (Lauren Toyota). For the past while, Natalie has been challenging the ever evolving concept of "beauty” and she’s been honing her craft as a wellness expert. Natalie co-founded and has led an intimate local meditation group for women entrepreneurs and creatives, the Peace Warriors, since 2014. It is a path that started in her youth with the loss of both parents to dis-ease and disconnects to a healthy work/life balance. These life-altering experiences are what have inspired Natalie to have a passion to spread mindfulness and meditation. Her warm and inviting presence has allowed her to introduce meditation to work offices, while her one-on-one meditation coaching style allows clients to find achievement in areas that may have otherwise been considered unachievable. The combination of Matias’ MUA talents and focus on the growth of inner beauty through meditation creates her unmatchable ability to offer a full range of creative offerings for any type of event hoping to communicate purpose and wellness. You can find Natalie busy leading mindfulness-based workshops for Mindfulness Without Borders; to entrepreneurs, professionals and CEOs in workplaces such as We Work and Deloitte. Natalie is known for her soothing voice and grounding presence that makes her a suitable fit for any environment. Natalie is filled with immense gratitude for every opportunity to share space and time in meditation. I’ll definitely attest to her voice being soothing. I’m obsessed with listening to her speak, which is why I’m having so much fun curating the content for this episode! I love listening to it over & over! If Natalie’s name sounds familiar, it might be because she’s offered some beautiful opportunities for my VISIONARY community to get to know her. On Valentines Day, she led my past and current clients through a guided meditation for entrepreneurs - and last week she and I did a collaborative Instagram Live so that you could get EXCITED for our episode!

A few years ago there was a huge movement pushing women to stop apologizing. We as vegans have taken on this line of 'I'm sorry's', apologizing in situations we feel uncomfortable or to smooth things over. Today I'm talking about why saying sorry often comes along with feeling guilty and how we can escape that mentality with a few simple language swaps. Plus, answering listener questions: how to shop bulk without being charged for the jars, how to feel comfortable eating out at non-vegan restaurants, and all about that infamous Arby's ad that's floating around the vegan community.

Lauren Toyota from Hot for Food found her success by diving into a newer niche and producing content in a way that no one else had done before. And it worked - she amassed just about 200k followers in just one year on YouTube. Today she’s here to talk about how it all went down. In this episode, Lauren shares: How she was able to achieve her teenage career dream What goals she had when starting her blog What her typical day looks like How she started doing YouTube videos What inspired her popular Recipe? segment How they set up their lighting & audio How their social following helped grow their YouTube channel How an MCN helped her monetize her channel How brand partnerships work with Hot for Food   Resources: Adobe Premiere Episode 010: Working with Brands on YouTube with Beth Le Manach from Entertaining with Beth Kin Community Network Hot for Food on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter Lauren in Real Life on YouTube Hot for Food on YouTube Hot for Food Blog If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for interviews, be sure to email them to podcast@foodbloggerpro.com.
