Value 4 Value: A Better Way to Keep Ideas Honest

VeganStoic.com runs on a simple principle: if you get value from what we create, you can return value in whatever way feels right to you.

No paywalls, no ads, no sponsors shaping the message.

Just content that aims to help you live a more conscious, consistent life—guided by Stoic wisdom and a commitment to compassionate, plant-based living.

This Value 4 Value model was pioneered by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show.

They showed us that trust and transparency are more powerful than clicks and algorithms.

We’re proud to follow in their footsteps.

What Does “Value” Mean?

Value can be many things:

  • A few dollars via a one-time or monthly donation
  • A thoughtful email with your feedback or story
  • Sharing an article or podcast episode with a friend
  • Creating something cool based on our work
  • Volunteering skills like editing, audio production, design, or translation

You decide what value looks like.

And you decide how and when to give it.

Why This Model?

We believe that truth and independence matter.

When there are no advertisers or hidden strings, we can speak honestly.

We can stay rooted in values, not clicks.

You’re not a “customer” or a “user.”

You’re part of the signal.

Thank you for being here.
