In this episode, I am interviewed by Robby from The Infinite Cup. We had a great conversation about veganism, vegan myths, tips for being healthy on a plant based diet, cycling, spirituality, and much more! Also, I plan on starting up the podcast again so I you have anyone you'd like me to have on, then let me know! 🎧 Show Notes: http://www.bananiac.com/podcast/bananiac-25 📱 Connect with @Bananiac • Website: http://bananiac.com • YouTube: http://youtube.com/bananiac • Instagram: http://instagram.com/bananiac • Facebook: http://facebook.com/bananiac • Twitter: http://twitter.com/bananiac • eBook/Merch: http://www.bananiac.com/shop • Fitbod: https://bit.ly/2SnJWeD • Audible: https://amzn.to/2CnNJz9 • Amazon: https://amzn.to/2ExPP3l • Robinhood: https://invite.robinhood.com/konstam68 • Gear: http://www.bananiac.com/gear • Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bananiac --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thisisbananas/support
