Sample talks/presentations:
Presentation: You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks
Growing up in an all-female Italian household, Eric was nourished to obesity on meat and dairy. Decades later, overnight, Lindstrom became a vegan—on a bet. A bet he still refuses to lose ten years later. This simple change in diet and lifestyle led to a popular blog that led to two book deals, two YouTube shows and, ultimately, a career in animal rights. Eric’s talk inspires anyone, at any age, to make the change to vegan—for human health, the planet, and the animals. (45 min.)
Presentation: You Can Be a Mentor to Inspire Change
While living on Cornell campus, Eric was provided a unique opportunity to mentor five Cornell undergrads as they challenged each other to go vegan. From changes in the dining halls to coordinating guest lecturers, these students, who all came from different backgrounds, were supported by Eric as they navigated their vegan futures. (45 min.)
Presentation: Print Isn’t Dead When it Comes to Activism
With more than 30 years experience in publishing and marketing, Eric leads this session reminding activists, at all levels, that print isn’t dead. From tabling to demonstrations and protests, leaflets, pamphlets, brochures, and more print plays an important role in educating about veganism and animal rights. Learn how to produce effective handouts and leave inspired to take to the streets (or the mail) with your new marketing materials. (45 min.)
