I’m back for round 2 with Krissy Mae Cagney (@krissymaecagney). We dive into her recent decision to become vegan, what she attributes her decision to, and the challenges and benefits she’s run into. As the owner of Doughnuts and Deadlifts, Black Iron Gym, Ello Supply Co and the author of Flexible Dieting 1.0 and 2.0, Krissy has seen an outstanding amount of success and offers a lot of insight on the ins and outs of her business and what is driving their success.
