Vegan Boss Radio goes to Mexico!! Enjoy the very first international episode with Gilian & Eileen AKA the OM TWIINS! We met up with them at their very own vegan gym in Playa del Carmen and it was such a pleasure getting to hear their vegan story. The Om Twiins are vegan fitness trainers and activists. They bring such bright energy to the movement and have built a super impressive online community. We were so inspired by them that after the interview we signed up for one of their fitness programs and have been following their guidance ever since. They have an incredible story that you won't want to miss. **SORRY FOR THE SOUND QUALITY**

Things get a little weird in this episode lol From bacon nipples, vegan cats, and a tinder date gone wrong... you'll definitely have a lot to laugh (or cry) along with.
