How can we do the most good for animals with the resources available to us? This week, we are joined by author and vegan bodybuilder Robert Cheeke to discuss the answers to that question in his most recent book, The Impactful Vegan.
Robert is the author of Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, Shred It!, Plant-Based Muscle, the New York Times bestseller, The Plant-Based Athlete, and his latest, The Impactful Vegan. Robert founded Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, maintains the website VeganBodybuilding.com, is considered one of VegNews magazine’s Most Influential Vegan Athletes, and is known as the “Godfather of Vegan Bodybuilding.” He tours the world, sharing his story of transformation from a skinny farm kid to a champion vegan bodybuilder, and regularly contributes to Forks Over Knives, The Center for Nutrition Studies, Vegan Strong, The Vegan Gym, and No Meat Athlete. Robert lives in Colorado with his wife and two rescued Chihuahuas.
