Running a mission-driven food blog, balancing business with purpose, and creating a recipe-testing process with Michelle Cehn from World of Vegan. ----- Welcome to episode 435 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Michelle Cehn from World of Vegan. Prioritizing Recipe Testing and Purpose in Food Blogging Michelle has been blogging for a long time (she even has the @vegan handle on Instagram!) and has been passionate about animal rights and vegan cooking from the get-go. But her approach to sharing that mission with her readers has evolved over the years, and she explains more about why in this interview. Michelle also shares more about how she balances the aspects of her job that bring her joy and a sense of purpose with the business and financial side of running a food blog. Last but certainly not least, Michelle and Bjork chat about the recipe testing process that Michelle has used for her cookbook and for her blog, and how she recruits volunteers to help test each of her recipes. In this episode, you'll learn: How and why Michelle started a vegan blog and how her approach to sharing vegan recipes has changed over the years. How Michelle and Toni Okamato monetized their sites with meal plans. How she balances a mission-driven and profit-driven approach to her business. What the recipe testing process at World of Vegan looks like. About the recipe testing process (with over 75 volunteers!) for Michelle's cookbook. The exact questions Michelle asks her recipe testers for each recipe.

“Be kind, gentle, and friendly to yourself. It's not all about perfection, it's about progress.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the dynamic duo Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn. Toni Okamoto is the Founder of Plant Based On A Budget and Author of the  book Plant Based On A Budget. Michelle Cehn is the Founder of World of Vegan. Together they host the Plant-Powered People Podcast and just co-authored a new book called The Friendly Vegan Cookbook. We talk about their path to becoming massive vegan influencers (having millions of followers between them!), how they handle the holidays and the inevitable vegan questions, Michelle's experience raising her child vegan, the moral dilemma of feeding your dog, their recommendations for growing a social following, at what point you can start making a living on social media, how they handle the haters, their take on the documentary The Social Dilemma, and all about their new book The Friendly Vegan Cookbook. Toni and Michelle are super impressive entrepreneurs and human beings.Show NotesThe Friendly Vegan CookbookPlant Based On A Budget WebsitePlant Based On A Budget InstagramPlant Based On A Budget FacebookWorld of Vegan WebsiteWorld of Vegan InstagramWorld of Vegan FacebookToni's InstagramMichelle's Instagram

Michelle Cehn and Toni Okamoto, authors of The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, will share recipes for satisfying meals, snacks, and treats, designed for both the veggie-curious and longtime vegans. These two longtime friends will also share their “go-to” kitchen tips to make holiday meal planning a breeze. With their popular food blogs, videos, podcast, and cookbooks, Michelle and Toni are two of the most trusted figures in the online vegan community.

Today, I interview Toni Okamoto, founder of Plant-based on a Budget and Michele Cehn, founder of World of Vegan to talk about their new book and their journey in building their business. Combined, they have over 1.5 million Instagram followers and numbers in the six figures on various platforms such as youtube, email lists, and everything else. Toni and Michelle built their following from scratch and turned what they did from hobby to business. In this episode, you will learn the journey that Toni and Michelle took to get there as long as some really insightful tips on running an influencer company. But most importantly, they’re a dynamic duo and an amazing case study of how collaboration amplifies everyone. The funny story is that I’ve met them personally and have even playtested their recipe. Why Funny you should ask. Toni’s husband is Paul Shapiro, author of Clean Meat, and a popular interview in episode 102. When I moved to Sacramento to start Better Meat Co, Toni was one of the first people I met in Sacramento and Michelle also lives there. Since they loved to cook, they would do a lot of fun parties and cook delicious food. One of my favorites is a chocolate pie made of silken tofu. Toni and Michelle are probably the most down to Earth people I’ve ever met.  They are super authentic, super passionate in what they do, and they are just such nice, accommodating people who are just full of sunshine. You can find their new, collaborative cookbook The Friendly Vegan Cookbook wherever you can find books, and we have a link to it in our shownotes!

Toni Okamoto’s story: stopped eating meat at 16, then became full vegan in college and then with 11 years of experience, did animal advocacy. Plant-based on a budget is actually a side project What the Health exposure exploded Toni’s career Michelle Cehn’s story: I worked on world of vegan for a while and when I lost my job, I had a choice and ended up working my butt off and ended up getting much more money than I thought I could get What were your metrics on going forward with your blogging projects?: I always had low expectations in terms of how much I need to survive. I would always review business goals Toni Okamoto’s Story: I was always poor and to the point, I was always surviving. I had Paul Schwartz (friend of ours) help me push myself to make bigger goals. I found a $70k salary was an extremely ambitious goal Patreon What was your first Sponsorship story? Toni Okamoto: I did a sponsored post for a baby stroller and got $200 dollars. I had no kids and was transparent that I was doing this to keep the lights on Michelle Cehn: I went to Natural Products Expo West and saw people paying social media influencers I would give companies my media kit and charged $25 dollars per post. Every time I would communicate for a brand and they kept on saying yes so I double the price As an Influencer, surprisingly the difference in success is price per user. If you charge more, you survive more All big companies have a plant-based company now There’s a lot of information, too much so a lot of our content is focused on recipe development and help lift that sector up Vegan is generally a bad word. A lot of people who approach us love us because we’re friendly What is one piece of advice about becoming a professional blogger?: Just do it. Know that there will be challenges and don’t try to focus on the competition What was the make-or-break point that made you keep going?: For Toni, she got an email that talked about this mother taking care of her family using plant-based on a budget For Michelle, it’s every warm piece of feedback Plant-powered People Podcast

Justifiably or not, vegans have often been accused of being pushy, overly zealous or simply assholes. Vegans may tend to be very passionate about what they stand for, but the phrase “friendly vegan” is hardly an oxymoron. In fact, there is good cause to look at it as something that we all should strive for if we want to effectively spread the message of vegan living. Return guests, Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn share some of their work in this space with Jason Wrobel and Toni Lauritsen. Through The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, these two rockstar vegan ladies are bringing vegans and omnivores alike through a shared message and a shared passion for good food. After all, good food is good food, right? Wouldn’t it be a much better to make it a rallying point for vegan lifestyle rather than have this constant urge to shame those who are not yet up for it?Love the show?

Have you been curious on how to go vegan? In the slew of big changes that have happened this year, what's one more, eh? No but really… if you've been contemplating a move towards a more healthy, plant-based lifestyle and away from eating meat, here's where to begin. My special guest today is Michelle Cehn and she's simplifying how to go vegan. This is part two from our conversation earlier this season on how to stock your plant-based ‘pandemic pantry' (episode 131). We received an overwhelmingly positive response to that episode, which leads me to believe that many of us are considering eliminating meat and animal products from our diets. Here's how. My special guest today is Michelle Cehn and she's simplifying how to go vegan. We tackle all aspects of it, including: If you're ready to take the leap and stop eating meat, she reveals the first step that is crucial towards success Why you need to ‘build a bank of great plant-based recipes' and where to find them How to “veganize your kitchen” and what the very best (and most affordable) tools you'll need to get started  high-powered blender food processor an assortment of spices one sharp knife When and where you can find a community of plant-based people both locally and globally, that'll support you along the journey What the single most important thing you must do once you go plant-based …and ultimately, she shares the very best tips if you happen to fall off the wagon. Michelle shows us the friendly way to introduce a more plant-based diet and lifestyle into your home and family. For so many of us, let's be REAL - this is super scary… what's left to eat if I eliminate meat and cheese from my diet!??! I know, I know… it's my fear, as well. However, I put myself forth as tribute to try it out, ask all the “dumb questions,” and help to simplify it down for us.  Will you join me on this journey? I promise it'll be fun and might help all of us reduce the brain fog, gain more natural energy, and even save some money on groceries all along the way! Q: Are you wanting to learn how to go vegan? If yes, this one is for you. It's time to #DoTheThing! Show notes available with all LINKS mentioned here:https://thesimplifiers.com/podcast/michelle-cehn-how-to-go-vegan

This is a special episode, because the guest holds many interesting titles for our purposes: Toni Okamoto is the founder of Plant Based on a Budget, a successful author, the creator and former co-host of this podcast, and...she happens also to be my wife. And Toni has a new book coming out! This is her third cookbook, entitled The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, which is coauthored with Toni's business partner and friend Michelle Cehn. Now, before you think this is just some act of nepotism to promote my wife's new book (which is certainly worth promoting, nepotism or not!), as you'll soon hear, Toni has a fascinating tale to tell about her success as an entrepreneur. In this episode we chat about what led her to leave the comfortable life of a paycheck and benefits to take a bet on starting her own company based on her passion: helping people save money by eating plant-based.  With no outside investment and just by bootstrapping with revenue she's brought in, Toni has built her company into a powerhouse, providing jobs for six people (plus herself) and reaching vast numbers of people with a potent message about how to live more sustainably each day. It's normally taboo to talk about how much money someone makes, but Toni gets into the specific numbers here to offer details about her business' various revenue streams. So if you've ever wondered how social media influencers actually make a living and what their lives are like, including the barrage of both encouragement and criticism they receive online daily, this episode will answer that plus a whole lot more.  Discussed in this episode Toni’s three books Plant-Based on a Budget’s meal plans Smart Passive Income Podcast and the Startup Podcast Alfonso Revilla Photography Reynaldo’s Soy Chorizo Eddie the Pittie on Instagram About Toni Okamoto Toni Okamoto is the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, the popular website and meal plan that shows you how to save dough by eating veggies. She’s also the author of the Plant-Based on a Budget cookbook, The Super Easy Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook, and the Friendly Vegan Cookbook. She’s also the co-host of The Plant-Powered People Podcast.  Okamoto’s work has been profiled by NBC News, Parade Magazine, and she’s a regular presence on local and national morning shows across the country, where she teaches viewers how to break their meat habit without breaking their budget. She was also featured in the popular documentary What the Health. When she’s not cooking up a plant-based storm, she’s spending time with her husband Paul Shapiro and dog Eddie in Sacramento, Calif.

It's the basic question that a lot of non-vegans have. And if we're being honest, before going vegan, we too were unsure which foods were actually plant-based and which weren't. In today's episode, we break it down in the most simple of terms.

Welcome to the first in our Podcast Showcase Series with Paul Shapiro and Toni Okamoto interviewing John Mackey. He started this little company, grew it, and then sold it to Amazon. You might know it as Whole Foods Market. Though Paul and Toni can tell you all about their guest, I can tell you a little bit about Paul and Toni. This super star duo is hosted by none other than Paul Shapiro, animal activist, author and now CEO of the Better Meat Co, and Toni Okamoto, who is a cookbook author, and the creator of Plant-based on a Budget, which encourages people that eating plant-based doesn’t have to be expensive. Toni was featured on What The Health and has a pretty viral youtube video where she and her business partner Michelle Cehn compare the Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger.   As many know, Paul and I met on the My Food Job Rocks podcast and through chance, I got the opportunity to found Better Meat Co with him. Paul chose Sacramento to be the HQ of Better Meat Co, not because of strategy but because that is where Toni lives, his fiance’s home town. I was happy about the location for my own personal reasons as well. As Paul learned about how I did my podcast through the many talks we’ve had, he was very impressed with the number of connections and knowledge I’ve amassed throughout a couple of years of doing this and thought it would be valuable and fun to do a podcast with Toni. Business for Good is a podcast that focuses on the businesses that solve humanities biggest problems and one of those problems being food! Today, we go into the mind of John Mackey, Paul’s friend, but also the CEO and CEO-founder of Whole Foods. Business for Good as many other episodes that focus on food, such as slavery-free chocolate and investors for plant-based companies. But they also have an impressive list of other guests such as coral reef revitalists, musicians who are making a sustainable impact, and… toilet paper companies where if you buy their products, they will build toilets in third world countries. Without further ado, enjoy the first episode of the Business for Good’s podcast, their episode with John Mackey. You can check out more of Paul and Toni’s episode at businessforgoodpodcast.com Shownotes As a student, John Mackey was an idealistic hippie who worked in a vegetarian co-op while studying religion and philosophy. He never took a business class during his whole academic career. In other words, he wasn’t exactly the guy people would’ve placed bets on to become a businessman, let alone one who’d launch a natural foods empire called Whole Foods Market that would get purchased by Amazon for $14 billion. (Note: John long ago stopped taking a salary and even donated all of his Whole Foods stock, so he didn’t see a penny of the sale.) Listen to John discuss with Toni Okamoto and Paul Shapiro his thoughts on everything from venture capitalists and labor unions to Whole Foods’ sale to Amazon and of course how to do good in the world via business. John’s Books: Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World’s Problems The Whole Foods Diet: The Lifesaving Plan for Health and Longevity John’s book recommendations during the show: Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight The Upstarts: How Uber, Airbnb, and the Killer Companies of the New Silicon Valley Are Changing the Worldby Brad Stone The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder Books by Peter Drucker More info: Conscious Capitalism, the organization John cofounded
