I felt like, okay, George, you were strong enough to fight to play in the NHL. Now your fight is not over. You have to fight for others. So I'm fighting for animals, I'm fighting for women’s rights. I'm fighting for.. gay rights… Any cause that I can help out, to me is as sensitive as the one that I was fighting when I was a kid. -Georges Laraque
My conversation with “NHL’s Unlikeliest Tough Guy,” Georges Laraque, was a long time coming and I couldn’t be more excited to share our conversation with you.
George was on the final day of an 8-day water fast, something that he does every 6 months as a thorough cleanse to reboot his system, when we recorded and he was vibrating positive energy throughout the interview.
Talk about rising and thriving…. That’s George! The other word that comes to mind is resilient.
In this fascinating discussion we covered…

  • How and why George chose to pursue the “white man’s sport” of hockey, even though it wasn’t his favorite sport, and despite the racism he faced.
  • How and why George transitioned to a vegan lifestyle even when he believed it could end his wildly successful career.
  • What his current dietary habits entail.
  • His approach to vegan advocacy and why he doesn’t shy away from the word vegan, or identifying as vegan, like many other athletes who are afraid of being judged, or other influencers who think it will turn people off.
  • His thoughts on the intersection of masculinity and veganism.
  • How he ended up recording the voiceover for Earthlings in French.
  • His transition away from his role and identity of a professional athlete, and what he attributes to his success and ability to thrive on every level.
  • And so much more!
