25: Transforming Cattle Ranches into Compassionate Businesses | Renee King-Sonnen
05/04/20 • 55 min
Did you know Texas is going vegan? At least, with sustainable farming pioneers like this guest, Texas and other cattle-raising states are well on their way...
Renee King-Sonnen - former cattle rancher's wife who loved rodeos and cowboy boots - is the Founder and Executive Director of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary - a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Since going vegan in 2014, Renee has converted Rowdy Girl Sanctuary from a cattle ranch to a sanctuary for over 120 animals (and her husband from a multi-generational cattle rancher to an animal rescuing vegan). This is the first documented beef cattle ranch vegan conversion in history, and also has pioneering initiatives such as:
- The Rancher Advocacy Program which transitions cattle ranchers and animal farmers out of animal agribusiness and into other viable farming and business practices,
- and Families Choosing Compassion is a compassionate alternative to Future Farmers of America and 4-H and brings families of children together that are saddened by the end result that leads to the slaughter of raising their animal friends as “school projects.”
Rowdy Girl Sanctuary inspires other ranchers to experience a paradigm shift while helping them move from participating in the cruelty of factory farming to living out compassion towards the animals raised for food.

26: Cracking the Code to Coaching Business Success + Special Announcement
Ever given serious thought to replacing your job income by coaching others into a plant-based lifestyle? Or maybe you’ve started already and you’re trying to get clients...
It’s a deeply fulfilling way to earn a great income when you know the right steps to take.
The problem is that many coaches don’t earn enough money to stay in business and make the kind of impact they were born to make. With so many business and marketing strategies out there, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed, resulting in not knowing exactly what to focus on day-to-day to move the needle of your business.
In this episode, I am interviewed by my buddy, Ronnie Tsunami, for the Plant-Based Business Summit. I not only get to share my vegan story and how I got to where I am today as a business trainer for plant-based and vegan coaches...
but I also lay out the 3 key elements every plant-based coach needs in order to stand out in a crowded health & wellness space and hit their income goals quickly. And...it’s probably NOT what you think.
PLUS - I make a special announcement in the intro that you’re not going to want to miss!
If you want to catch the Plant-Based Business Summit to watch interviews with leaders in the plant-based and vegan space, you can still access the summit for FREE if you register right now before May 21st.Click here to register: https://bit.ly/plantbasedbusinesssummit Thanks for listening!
