Imagine sitting at a table with a master chef, an R&B artist, a serial entrepreneur, a certied deep-sea scuba diver, and an entertainment marketing executive.
Pretty sweet group for conversation, right? Now, roll all of those people into one, and you have Vegan & Vibrant episode #2's podcast guest, Kendall Duffie. (Most of those things also describe his twin brother Kelvis, who was originally scheduled to be on the podcast with us— but as you can imagine, having that many irons in the fire means that sometimes plans change last-minute!)
I fell in love with Deep Sea Vegan's food the first time I tried it a few months ago. Then, when I started to get to know the masterminds behind the operation, I was even more impressed— talk about expanding the bounds of human potential, right?! In this conversation with Kendall Duffie, you'll hear about some of the practices that help him thrive, his mission with Deep Sea Vegan, and his fascination with the vast array of edible plants that most of us have never even heard of.
