David Benzaquen, founder of Mission:Plant, is a powerhouse in the plant based space and this week's episode reflects the variety and depth of David's experience. David has a background in activism and at the start of this episode we talk about the power of advocacy work and how to have impact, before moving onto David's collaboration with a Certified Master Chef to create vegan tuna sushi, the subsequent growth of OceanHugger, and the future of the plant based fish market. David is also the founder of Mission:Plant, a holding company advancing the plant based space with consulting and investment, and has plenty of insight for both those seeking to invest or to receive it. Last but not least, we also hear about PlantBelly, David's online vegan grocery store. This episode is stacked full with practical insight, but David also has a lot to share about the idealogical foundations of his work, and the importance of collaboration versus competition, so sit back and enjoy!
