Story of Juicero | Doug Evans
In Episode #179, I sat down with Doug Evans, serial entrepreneur and author of The Sprout Book, to chat about his journey in business – specifically his time building Organic Avenue and the rise and fall of the highly publicised Silicon Valley start-up Juicero. We also discussed how Doug discovered a passion for sprouts and cold-pressed juices, his family health issues and his diet prior to switching to a plant-based lifestyle, and what led him to a raw plant-based diet.
Doug is a close friend with a heart of gold. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
