Full show notes for Episode 135 of The Genius Life Podcast: https://www.maxlugavere.com/podcast/135-vani-hari What you'll learn from this episode: How Vani Hari, the daughter of Indian immigrants who regularly dined at McDonald's to "eat like Americans," became Food Babe, an O.G. in the nutrition and wellness space who advocates for the countless benefits of real food. The challenges Vani faced trying to eat healthy foods while traveling constantly and working 60 hours a week at a corporate job during a time when the nutritional landscape had far fewer options than we enjoy today. How a business dinner in which Vani special-ordered healthy alternatives that put the restaurant's standard fare to shame sparked her colleagues' curiosity and led her mission to educate others about what's really on their plates. How the name "Food Babe" came about and persevered in spite of Vani's initial resistance to it, and the less catchy name it might have been if she had followed her first instincts. How Vani made the decision to quit life in the corporate world and turn Food Babe into her full-time job, and the adjustments she made (and shared with others) in order to live within her means and still eat healthy food on a limited budget.
