In this episode, we’re joined by Brisbane-based content creator Jakob Guy, better known online as Humane Vision. With a combined audience of over 300,000 and content that reaches millions of people every month, Jakob has redefined what it means to be an animal advocate in the digital age.

Jakob shares his unique approach to advocacy, which blends education, humour, and direct storytelling to make the reality of animal exploitation impossible to ignore. We go behind the scenes of his creative process and discuss how he developed his technical skills, where he finds inspiration for his original content, and his approach to navigating the ever-changing social media landscape.

Beyond the metrics, we have a candid conversation about the mental weight of constant digital presence and navigating online abuse. Jakob also imparts his wisdom for any new activists wanting to leverage social media.

If you’ve ever wanted to use social media to spread the vegan message, or are just curious about all the work that goes into Jakob’s content, then this episode is for you!

In this episode, we are honoured to sit down with Gail Eisnitz, Chief Investigator for the Humane Farming Association (HFA) and a true pioneer of animal cruelty investigations in the USA.

Gail has spent 43 years exposing the hidden horrors of the animal farming and slaughter industries, but her latest book, Out of Sight, reveals a health battle she was fighting behind the scenes.

Gail opens up about her childhood struggles with undiagnosed OCD and a rare visual processing disorder, and how those early feelings of isolation led her to identify with the helplessness of animals.

We discuss her career as the first female national investigator in the 1980s, her courageous work documenting slaughterhouse violations while undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and her relentless pursuit of justice against the unyielding power of industry and law enforcement.

Finally, Gail shares what it was like receiving a diagnosis for her mystery illness after 60 years of searching for answers, and how she continues to lead the HFA’s mission to protect farm animals today.
