In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Patrick McGilvray about what brings a small business success and the lifestyle that helps support that. Patrick is a plant-based ultrarunner and IRONMAN triathlete. Years ago he found himself unhealthy, overweight, and diagnosed with testicular cancer. He made a conscious decision to start living a better life, so he started running and moving to a vegetarian, and eventually a plant-based, diet. Patrick started his own company in 2013, Focus 5 Design, a creative agency specializing in brand development and design for small businesses and entrepreneurs. He believes that eating a whole-food, plant-based diet is the key to living a healthy and happy life.
Patrick talks to us about his story of finding health and as it turns out he and Adam have a lot in common. Then we shift gears and talk about green businesses or any small businesses for that matter. We talk about the challenges and victories entrepreneurs encounter and all kinds of smart tips for good practice when it comes to ethical and sustainable choices leading to small business success. Overall lifestyle may have a bigger impact than you think.

- Facing the biggest fear
