Vegan Action Global asks you to Explore Life.
A podcast exploring the stories, conversations and uncomfortable truths that shape who we are — and who we choose to be. Hosted by Greg Dean, this channel dives into ethics, empathy, human behaviour, activism, resilience and the moral crossroads we face in modern society. Real people, real consequences, and real conversations that challenge complacency and inspire meaningful action
Unshakeable Integrity: Doing the Right Thing in Spite
When you say one thing but do another, it weakens your character.
When you lie to yourself, you create a disconnect and find conflict in life.
Many times our integrity is tied to our ability ti be successful in our relationships, careers, jobs and business, but also in how we show up for others and for ourselves.
In this podcast, we discuss the ethics of kindness, how we cannot say we are against animal cruelty, while at the very same time, pay for it simply due to habit and social norms, and how this shakes our characters and foundations, the building blocks for life success.

Cracking the Animal Industry Playbook
Did you know aged and slower greyhounds are often sold to medical companies and universities to be forced to undergo invasive medical experimentation?

Philosophy - Morality Is Judged By the Victim
You know that feeling when something doesn’t sit right… but you go along with it anyway?
Most of us have been there.
We’re taught what’s “normal.”
We’re told what’s acceptable.
And over time, we learn to ignore that quiet voice that questions it.
But holding that contradiction — knowing something causes harm, yet continuing to support it — is exhausting.
In this video, we explore a simple but confronting idea:
morality isn’t defined by the person making the choice…
it’s defined by the one experiencing the consequences.
When we apply that honestly — not just to human rights, but to all sentient beings — the line between right and wrong becomes much clearer.
The difficult part isn’t understanding it.
It’s facing it.
Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
But there’s also something people don’t talk about enough:
the relief that comes when you stop resisting that truth.
When your actions finally align with your values…
there’s no more mental gymnastics.
No more justifying.
Just clarity.
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being honest.
If it wouldn’t be okay for you —
why is it okay for them?

We do a deep dive into societal conditioning from childhood to adulthood and how it shapes how we view speciesism.

Human Factory Settings
Just like a new mobile phone, humans come with factory settings.
For humans, that factory setting is EMPATHY.
Over time, societal conditioning that is forced upon all of us by pressure groups, controlling education, controlling the influences of what we buy, work to override our factory settings.
Today we talk about the young animal rights activists who have the strength to stand against the conditioning, no matter the exclusion by peers.
Yes 99% of humanity can be wrong and yes 1% of the population can be the outliers who recognise our inherent factory settings and stay who humanity were meant to be.

The Raw Truth - With Gary Yourofsky
We might not like the truth but we must live with that truth.
Some will say that the truth is flexible and has nuance. However, this is only where opinion intersects with truth.
Opinions shape morals and morals shape actions.
Then there are the morals we tell ourselves and others that are important to us, but those become weak-lip service when we look at our choices, the injustices we commit upon others and the harm we do for selfish pleasures, hidden behind false cognitive dissonance.
Gary Yourofsky speaks to Vegan Action Global about how we can strengthen our moral baseline to become meaningful, intentioned people

When you can no longer argue ethics
The truth is the truth.

The Animal Paradox Deep Dive Podcast
Have you ever considered the Animal Paradox and the Moral Inconsistency that keeps most of us trapped in a cycle of our endless problems?
It is the paradox and inconsistency that keeps us as the oppressor and the victim.
The oppressor of others but the victim of societal brainwashing and conditioning by governments and corporations who profit from pain.
Changing your habits is easy when you let go of the inner turmoil . And in the end, the decision to do the right thing just feels great.

COVID, Artificial intelligence Facebook troll bots, corrupting historic records, and taking back control
Is the COVID vaccine that bad?
Are we really losing any freedoms with COVID lockdowns, or are we simply inconvenienced?
Are the people you argue with online real or AI bots draining you of your time and energy?
How is our understanding of history being corrupted and changed in subtle ways you barely even notice?
How do you take back control of your life with new understandings of the narratives being told?

The Second Chance Man - Violent animal abuse to Peaceful Activist - Episode 2
Here, one of the hardest and affecting interviews Greg Dean has conducted.
What if you were raised to commit violence by your parents and foster parents, for money?
In this podcast, we explore the life of a man, born innocent, but raised to exploit and abuse other living beings for financial gain and the pleasure of others. A man who lost himself in the violence, who then suffered PTSD, then attempted to take his own life and what caused him to crawl back to create positivity in the world around him for a brighter, more peaceful future.
Be prepared, because you will soon understand who you personally played an integral role in his childhood and adult work life, yet you likely never realised. Who he became at his worst, as a result of your personal choices. And you will be asked to make a different choice. Because, if the Second Chance Man can do it, we can all reflect on our actions and collectively create something amazing..
Today, you will be challenged, if you stay with us to the end.
This is the Second Chance Man.
