Main Street Vegan

What happens when Manhattan luxury real estate meets plant-based living and deep Christian faith?
Victoria sits down with Darryl Williams — known as “The Vegan Broker” — a real estate professional with SERHANT., the firm featured on the Netflix series Owning Manhattan.
Raised vegetarian in a Seventh-day Adventist home and now a committed health vegan, Darryl boldly brings his values into one of the most competitive industries in the world. Married with two young children, he shares how faith, integrity, and family shape both his business and his plant-based lifestyle.
This uplifting conversation explores authenticity, courage, and what it really means to live your values out loud.

This episode explores a surprising and thoughtful perspective on modern food systems. Victoria talks with scholars Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel N. Rosenberg, co-authors of Feed the People: Why Industrial Food Is Good and How to Make It Even Better, about how frozen vegetables, canned beans, plant milks, and other accessible foods can help make compassionate eating realistic and affordable for more people.

Peacefood Cafe has been feeding compassionate New Yorkers since 2009. In this conversation, co-owner Eric Yu shares about being a spiritual guy in a business role, his decision not to serve alcohol in his restaurants, and what it takes to thrive in changing times.
