| 0:19.0 | Welcome to episode three of season two of The Chickpeeps, your friendly weekly vegan podcast. I'm your host, Evie Lynch, and this week we're going to be speaking to Max Lamauna, who is a zero-waste vegan chef. Very excited about this episode. You may have noticed this season on the Chick-Peeps, we're trying to learn more about sustainability, because much like veganism, it's about living consciously and cultivating mindful practices. So we invited Max |
| 0:42.4 | onto the podcast. If you're not familiar with Max's work, he is a zero-waste vegan chef, |

| 1:33.0 | until we met Max. So he's a very passionate guy on this topic. Yeah, so much conviction and we |
| 1:39.4 | learned a lot. So very excited to share that interview with you and hopefully share that contagious |
