Welcome to Our Hen House. This is Marianne Sullivan.

And this is Jasmine Singer.

We're so thrilled, so thrilled that you're joining us this week.

I am totally excited about this interview.

Jasmine's going to be interviewing like one of my oldest friends in the world,

and we've, we have known her for years. And she is, she has in the past done amazing work for

animals. And then she really changed her career around and she's still doing unbelievable work for

animals. So this is Amy Tricinski that I'm talking about and she is the managing

director of Vege Invest and she spends her time. I have to say I'm pretty envious of her though

she does seem to work like insane hours, but she spends her time investing in vegan companies.

So she finds like startup vegan companies and gives them money. Isn't that fun? And all these companies are

working to change the world for animals. So this interview should also get you up to date on what's

going on in the whole world of startups. And I really promise you, it's a lot that's going on.

You're going to be happy to hear about it. It's a great chat. And she

actually tells the story of meeting you. I won't spoil it for our listeners, but it does involve

an elephant and running down the street. More than one elephant. Got it. And this week on the

bonus segment, we'll be hearing more of my conversation with Amy, including her extensive legal work on behalf of animals.

She'll tell us the story there.
