b'March 16, 2021-- KZYX\'s final episode of the Ecology Hour\'s "Running on Empty" with Patrick Hentschel. This episode features an interview with Gabriel Silva, Founder and CEO of Ahimsa, a global vegan leather shoe brand based in Brazil. Gabriel was a young commercial airline pilot until he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. In response to this diagnosis, he reshaped his entire approach to personal health and in doing so became vegan. Soon after, he developed Ahimsa, a company that delivers sustainably manufactured alternative "vegan" leather shoes. Patrick & Gabriel discuss Ahimsa\'s inspiring approach to business and what really matters when creating a service-oriented company.'
