Episode #51: Nimai Delgado – The Big Guns Of Vegan Instagram

"Don't let anybody ever tell you that you can't make a difference by being one person. Those singularities are the people who actually change the world." NIMAI DELGADO I love learning about things I know next to nothing about. That's why it was so fun to get Nimai on the show. Because while I can hold my own in a discussion about plant-based nutrition, and I've been known to throw weights around from time to time, Instagram is an absolute blind spot for me. Nimai, on the other hand, is getting exponential follower growth (with no ads used). He was recently featured in The Game Changers, the new documentary on top vegan athletes co-produced by James Cameron, and while this may either be a contributing factor of his growth, or a result of it, what is obvious is that most of it is Nimai himself being in tune with his message (and allowing things to flow his way). It's also not just about the physique or being an IFBB Pro-rated bodybuilder. The true lesson of this interview is that visual content on Instagram is just the conversation-starter. It's what goes along with it that really makes the difference in growing a brand - and this is definitely where Nimai is headed.
