97: Plant-Based Businesses, Animal Advocacy, Ethical Investing | Daniella Monet

03/10/20 • 32 min

We’re chatting today with Daniella Monet: actress, singer, animal rights advocate and big time supporter of plant-based businesses. Daniella shares her journey to veganism (spoiler: she was not even 13!). We converse openly about her dedication to investing in plant-based businesses, from her first stocks to her now full-on involvement in uplifting the vegan economy. She is heavily involved in Kinder Beauty, Sugar Taco, Outstanding Foods, Mo4Paws, and most recently, Bridget. Daniella shares her simple philosophy for decision making, both as a consumer and an investor: be a voice for the voiceless.

96: Regulating The Cosmetics Industry; Influencing Better Beauty Policy | Lindsay Dahl, Beautycounter

Did you know that the cosmetics industry is one of the least regulated industries in America? We’re joined today by Lindsay Dahl, SVP of Social Mission at Beautycounter. Beautycounter is quite literally revolutionizing the clean beauty movement; they are actively demanding stricter regulations in their own industry. Beyond their cosmetics and skincare products, Beautycounter does an amazing amount of activism in policy and consumer education. Lindsay leads safety, sustainability, advocacy and philanthropy – an incredibly comprehensive approach to what it means to be truly safe. Lindsay has been working for over 15 years to remove toxic chemicals from everyday consumer products (including leading America’s first BPA ban in baby bottles!). Lindsay and I talk about working in government, the process of passing legislation, the value of regulation and how Beautycounty is setting standards to encourage tighter regulation in their own industry.
