How does an ordinary realtor become a global animal-welfare advocate with millions of followers—thanks to one unexpected pig?

It all started when Steve Jenkins brought home a so-called “mini pig” who turned out to be anything but mini. What began as a private Facebook page for friends soon exploded into a global phenomenon. Esther’s charm, wit, and 650-pound personality captured hearts worldwide, turning casual followers into passionate advocates.

Steve’s storytelling—funny, heartfelt, and completely relatable—helped Esther become more than just a viral sensation. She became a movement. Even after her passing, Steve’s work continues: expanding into agritourism, supporting sanctuaries, and proving that compassion can go viral. In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How Esther’s antics transformed Steve from real estate agent to world-recognized advocate.
  • The pivotal moments—hilarious, emotional, and jaw-dropping—that made Esther a true social media icon.
  • Why Steve chose humor and kindness over guilt or shock—and how that strategy built a global platform.

Hit play to follow Steve’s journey from accidental pig dad to international voice for compassion—and discover how one animal’s story can change millions of lives.

Inspiring education and insights on healthy living, plant-based eating, sustainable choices, Plant the Change is a podcast for parents, families, educators, and changemakers who want to raise health-conscious, emotionally intelligent kids in a world full of misinformation, environmental crisis, and emotional disconnection.
