Social Media Activist And Professional Speaker. Interview w/ John Oberg | Episode 35
John Oberg has become one of the most prolific vegan activists in the online age, but did he really expect for something like this to happen? And how has social media changed the meaning of activism? Sitting down with host and PBN's Co-Founder Robbie Lockie, the pair discuss John's journey into activism, the challenges vegans face, and how not everyone has a 'light bulb' moment which throws them into veganism. "You should not let purity and perfection be the enemy of good and therefore we need to celebrate when people take small steps even if that is just as little as Meatless Mondays."
