0:22.5	Evie Lynch, and joining me today is Robbie Jarvis. Hi, Robbie. Hello, gang. And today we're
0:27.9	going to be talking to the amazing Brian Rose, the creator of London Real. I met Brian end of last
0:33.1	year when I went on his podcast, and I was really struck by him. He's somebody who's just so curious about
0:39.1	life and about self-development and he's constantly evolving and constantly wanting to just be a
0:45.4	better person and challenge himself. And I noticed from his interviews that he had a lot of
0:51.0	vegans on on his podcast. He's very curious about this lifestyle.
0:55.7	And then lo and behold, Brian went vegan just a few months ago and reached out to me to talk
1:00.1	about his journey. And he offers a really unique perspective on veganism because he's new to it

1:44.9	complete the Iron Man and we will tell you more about how he got on after the interview and whether
1:49.2	or not he stayed vegan. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy this interview with Brian Rose.
