#16 Chris Cooney the Vegan Zombie reveals his past dreams of becoming an FBI agent, filmaking and vegan media, working for himself, making his own t shirts and developing a social media following

Update: 2018-06-18

Description

In this episode, Chris Cooney, the Vegan Zombie reveals all. How he went from aspiring FBI agent to YouTuber. Along the way he made a trailer for a zombie movie in which the zombie infection/contagion is spread by eating animal products, so vegans don't become zombies! That was 8 years ago, and he hasn't filmed the movie yet, but he still plans to make it!

He now makes videos on how to cook vegan, how to shop vegan (and save money), and other vegan educational stuff, mostly on his Youtube channel which has 159,000 subscribers (as of this post).

This episode is a new look at Chris that you haven't encountered in any other format or medium, or any other interview or feature.

Aspiring to be an FBI agent
