It’s Wellness Wednesday! Today Ricky Echanique joins us for the first half of the hour to get more information on his background and motives for investing in Mikuna Chocho Superfood Proteins. Ricky is a fifth-generation Ecuadorian farmer, former professional tennis player, and the founder of Mikuna Chocho Superfood Proteins. While living in Santa Barbara, Ricky faced health and digestion issues that sent him on a new path: to find a better form of plant-based nutrition. This journey led him back home to Ecuador and to Chocho, the "Andean super protein” Working alongside Chocho farmers high in the Andes Mountains, Ricky created Mikuna plant-based proteins. His mission is to build a plant-based, regenerative brand that will transform how we think about food. To learn more about Ricky and Chocho Superfood please visit mikunafoods.com!

Next on today’s show, we welcomed Rudy Karimi to discuss his interest in our city's park and the importance of the Park and Parks program towards our community. Rudy is a City of Dallas Park Board representative for District 14. Their mission is to champion lifelong recreation and serve as responsible stewards of the city's parks, trails, and open spaces. To learn more about Dallas Park and Recreation please visit dallasparks.org.
