63. John Lewis AKA Badass Vegan on Going Vegan, Building a Brand, and Hustling with Purpose

October 15, 2025 • OBI EMEGANO

They talk about his 20-year journey on a plant-based diet, how his mother’s cancer diagnosis changed his life, and what it means to build a business rooted in health, discipline, and purpose.

John shares how his P90X transformation and YouTube content kickstarted a journey that led to a million-dollar documentary and a $500K book deal, what inspired his new vegan meat brand Badass Butcher, and why health should be a right, not a privilege.
