Today, we are promoting neurodiversity. Maybe it's the first time you are hearing about neurodiversity. It is the concept that there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and neurological differences in people - such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD and more - should not be automatically classified as inherent flaws or deficits.

To discuss this topic, I have with me Sabina Bravo, the founder of Animal Law Focus, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing legal protections for farm animals, especially in the Global South.

We talked about the link between neurodivergence and veganism, Elon Musk and entrepreneurship, the obstacles neurodivergent people face at work, working from home, and much more.

Visit the episode's notes to connect with Sabina and learn more about the Animal Law Focus.

Let's celebrate, every week, how compassion for animals unite people from all walks of life. Thank you!

Today, an exclusive window into a high stakes world, at the heart of the animal rights movement. Hear from the fundraisers driving the dollars that fuel the fight for animals.

Those conversations are very common among professional animal advocates, yet always behind closed doors... that is, until now.

To discuss this topic, I have with me Alice Muller Coleman, development manager for Balanced, and Liz Wheeler, philanthropy manager for Faunalytics. Among other things, we talked about the dangers of toxic work environments, what power do funders hold over animal organizations and why are sanctuaries the ugly duckling of fundraising.

Balanced and Faunalytics are two amazing organizations that deserve your support. Visit the episode notes to connect with them.

Today, we’re celebrating a powerful victory by Madeline Krasno, founder of Justify, against her alma mater—the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The university censored her online denunciation of the cruel animal testing conducted in its labs, but Madeline fought back and won.

She shared with me shocking new details about how the university monitored her social media and even planned to infiltrate an animal rights lecture by creating fake accounts.

We also discussed Bryan Kohberger—the Idaho killer who, surprisingly, is vegan. Plus, the launch of Madeline’s new podcast, which I am really excited about. And how allies of this movement can emerge from the most unexpected places.

Check out the episode notes to connect with Justify and Madeline. Her initiative is groundbreaking and truly deserves your support. If you want to know more about Madeline's inspiring journey, check out episode 51 of the podcast: Waking up from the nightmare of animal testing.

Finally, I invite you to share this episode with your tribe/. Subscribe to the show, leave a positive review, and help grow this podcast. Every bit of support counts. Thank you!
