Dylan was joined this week by Stephen Szucs, founder of SustainableJoes, a multifaceted project that seeks to educate and inspire everyday individuals (Joes) to make the most sustainable choices in their lives. Very appropriately, he came on to talk about Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, a documentary about the underexplored impacts of animal agriculture. Some of the things we talk about are: -Stephen and his discovery of Star Trek: The Next Generation -The creation of documentary films and the power of editing our own experiences in making conscious decisions about what we eat -How its insistence on casting a villain blows up in its face -Trying to create positive change through education and compassion when the clock on the climate change bomb is ticking -We also spend some time throughout the conversation talking about the upcoming SustainableJoes documentary, which is due out later this year. Overall, talking to Stephen was a terrific conversation to have with a passionate individual whose own project is an exciting, inevitable agent of positive change. You can follow SustainableJoes on their website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
