In this candid solo episode, Sean A. Russell, founder of Vegans Explore, shares a real-time status update on where the platform stands and where it is headed next.

He also shares his long-term vision for city-based Community Managers, sustainable funding, and creating real resources for Vegans, businesses, and creators alike.
