In this episode of Rapid Regeneration, Dave sits down with Jovon “Vonnie” Cole at Vegan Vibrations inside Legacy Food Hall in Plano, Texas. Vonnie shares his powerful journey from the club and promoter scene in Pensacola to becoming a respected plant-based chef, entrepreneur, and community leader. We explore the turning point that changed his life, beginning with gardening on his balcony and listening to inner guidance that led him to stop eating meat and begin cooking from scratch. Vonnie opens up about learning through experimentation, developing discipline, and discovering a deeper sense of purpose through food, creativity, and self-awareness. This conversation dives into the realities of transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, navigating social pressure, staying grounded in personal values, and building a business through organic, grassroots growth. Vonnie also shares how he approaches parenting, balance, and leadership while running multiple food concepts. Dave and Vonnie discuss intuition, spirituality, manifestation, and the importance of quiet reflection in a distracted world. They also talk about meeting people where they are, leading by example, and creating positive change without judgment or pressure.
