Juicy Marbles and the Art of Familiar Food, with Vladimir Mićković

In this episode, we sit down with Vladimir Mićković, co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of Juicy Marbles, to explore how familiar food can be a powerful bridge to change. Vladimir shares the thinking behind starting Juicy Marbles with premium whole cuts like fillet steak and baby ribs, why texture and experience matter as much as values, and how food can invite curiosity without challenging identity. We talk about clean labels, innovation, brand symbolism, and why great food should come first, regardless of whether someone identifies as Vegan or not. This conversation goes beyond product and into philosophy, compassion, and impact. It is a thoughtful look at how plant-based food can meet people where they are and quietly reshape the future of how we eat. Perfect for anyone interested in food innovation, brand strategy, plant-based culture, and building bridges instead of walls.

Finding Love as a Single Vegan | Dating, Values, and Real Connection

Finding love is already vulnerable. Finding love as a single Vegan adds another layer most people never have to think about. In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, we talk honestly about what it means to date as a Vegan in a smaller pool of potential partners. This conversation goes beyond dating apps and surface-level advice and focuses on values, alignment, patience, and intentional connection. We explore why Vegan dating often requires a different approach, how to meet Vegans in the wild, and why shared ethics around food, compassion, and lifestyle matter so deeply in long-term relationships. We also share grounded advice for people getting back into the dating scene, from keeping things light to prioritizing conversation over quick judgments. The episode highlights Vegan-focused platforms like Veggly and Grazer, as well as coaches and programs supporting values-based relationships, including Karine Lang of FindVegLove.com and Bari Lyman from Meet to Marry. This is not about lowering your standards or convincing someone to care about what you care about. It is about clarity, confidence, and trusting that your values are a filter, not a limitation. Whether you are Vegan, plant-curious, or simply interested in intentional dating, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and practical insight.
