   What the Cluck is up with Trevor Silva?

   One year later... Alaina and Chris kick off Season 2 with Trevor Silva of My Cluck Hut to find out how he's been doing since Season 1. How is My Cluck Hut's business since taking a stand against fascism? Have they lost business or grown? And how does Co-Founder and Content Creator Trevor Silva feel about it all? They discuss lessons learned, how Trevor is doubling down on even more values-driven content, and how My Cluck Hut has grown since November of 2024 when he posted his first "controversial" post. Plus, Trevor clues Alaina & Chris into an unbelievable scoop - they're the first to hear about Trevor's newest product with a jaw dropping angle and a celebrity partnership that will have you laughing, cheering him on and hopefully, very inspired to find the symmetry between your branding and your values.
