Co-founder of FarmKind - working to help everyone have an impact on ending factory farming.

Also loves cats, books and nerd stuff.
Changing people's minds isn't about facts and logical arguments - it is so often about identity and stories.

In the latest episode of Changed My Mind we chat to Dr Melanie Joy about the power of story telling and how one dodgy burger completely changed her life.

Finally fulfilling my contractual obligation as a 30-something white guy to start a podcast. "Changed My Mind" launched this week where we'll interview people who possess the rarest superpower of all: admitting they were wrong about something.

I love that my BlueSky feed is full of cats 🐱 , so I wanted to give back with some cute animal content of my own.

Enjoy! 🐷
