Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Patrick Brennan, Founder of Sacred Plant Co, located in Glade Park, CO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Sacred Plant Co is the culmination of my life's experiences dropped into an experimental capitalist environment where we emphasize integrity and fun and see what happens. Oh, and we do a lot of work with soil structure and herbs. We offer our soil inputs to other farms and gardeners, and we offer our farm-grown herbs to the world.
Tell us about yourself
Sacred Hollow Ranch is one of only two things I ever really wanted in my life. We have 60 acres of land that is mostly thought of as barren and desert-like. We received less than 10 inches/25 CM of precipitation and are 7,500 feet/2286 meters above sea level. The original settlers of Glade Park starved to death, trying to farm the area. I thought this place would be a perfect opportunity to demonstrate our sustainable growing methods. Our energy here is spent improving the soil using ancient growing practices that introduce microbes (life) into the soil instead of chemicals.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The idea of Sacred Plant Co came from daydreams I'd have while I was working with the Adidas and Reebok brands. I was in this opportunity working with the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, & NCAA properties, and everyone seemed to want what I had, but I'd be sitting at home in my office looking up farmland and dreaming of a day when I had enough space to 'just be.'
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Everything is easy, control what you can, do what you can, and do rad things every day. It's all good.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Stop worrying.
- Take action.
- Nothing is perfect.
