Friends I was so excited to recently discover the work of fabulous touring bassist Tanya O’Callaghan – which funny story, happened when I saw Damien Mander (founder of International Anti Poaching Foundation) post a picture on Instagram and share how at that meal a car pulls up and a guy says:  “you guys look like a team of superheroes or something.”

Great call from the random stranger. Aussie former special ops sniper, Damien + former clearance diver Paul de Gelder dining with Tanya and Sepultura frontman Derrick Green. All passionate vegan activists, this foursome are indeed on a mission to save the world and they look the part!

This conversation is about following your gut, saying Yes and absolutely living your life aligned with your values.

Tanya has such fascinating story and exciting life. Get ready for a fun and inspiring ride with a touring musician who uses her considerable platform, influence and connections to advocate for the animals. We discuss Tanya’s new project and dream job a culture, plant based food and travel show with Derrick Green. The trailer is out now and once you watch it you’ll be as eagerly awaiting the full release as I am.

For a little official bio: Tanya O’Callaghan is a globally established freelance musician, speaker and activist with an eclectic impressive career to date. A lifelong advocate and activist for animal, human and environmental issues. Tanya has toured the world with some of the biggest names in music and continually uses her platform to influence positive change in the world. An entrepreneur and woman on a mission, she also produces and co-hosts an exciting new TV show Highway to Health and is founder and CEO of Plant Potential.

Ok, let’s get to it, time to Rock a Highway to Health with Touring Bassist Tanya O’Callaghan!

In this conversation we cover:

• Tanya’s becoming vegan story.
• Staying in great shape as a touring musician.
• Tanya’s personal approach to sharing the plant based lifestyle with fellow musicians.
• The plant based, rock n roll TV series Highway to Health.
• Filming (and eating delicious vegan food!) on one of the Sea Shepherd ships
• The power of conscious consumerism and the opportunity / responsibility each to us has to make a change. 
• Touring the US and the conditions for communities surrounding hog / factory farms.

I hope you loved that chat as much as I did. I hugely recommend you check out Tanya online – and of course stay tuned for the launch of TV series Highway to Health. I cannot wait!

I've always wanted to be wrong! If we woke up in the morning & someone was like we did a study, animals don't feel anything. The environments fine. Nobody's being hurt. I'd be like great, now I can go & have a normal life! Tanya… Share on X
