Ep.12 Meet Lars & Lennart (ENG) – Why Vegan?

Habits of Normal Success

On Episode 12 of Habits of Normal Success we meet Lars and Lennart. I met Lars and Lennart when I first started working at creative media agency Videobeat in March and we quickly hit it off and became friends (even though I am not in Hamburg in our HQ as much as I would like in order to have this kind of conversations more often). Lars and Lennart are Vegans with the capital V; they live and love every day of it. And as someone who occasionally enjoys some meat but at the same time understands the impact of his own choices on the environment, I am fascinated by their choices, I admire them and I wanted to know and understand more. We cover some of the trivial questions such as: What do people normally ask when you tell them you are a Vegan? Where do you get your protein? What made you decide to become a Vegan? Do you miss meat? But then also move on to more complex ones such as: How did your body feel when you quit meat and then any animal product? Did you go cold turkey or did it step by step? Do you try to actively “convert” other people to your lifestyle? What documentaries had the biggest influence on you? And much more. Needless to say that I find it super cool that this is my first double interview! Spoiler alert: I challenge myself on record to try out one week as a vegetarian and see how that goes. Thanks so much for coming on the show and taking the time. I had a blast and hope to do a part II of this soon.
