There’s a cliche expression that gets tossed around a lot; if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.  While starting a business most definitely is hard work – and a lot of it – our latest Power Hitters is proof that you can blend a passion project with a business.  

Discovering plant-based foods changed everything for Pat McAuley. Once he saw the positive changes in his health after changing his diet, he decided that he could help make an impact by making plant-based food more accessible. That led Pat to launch Rewild: Plant Food + Drink this fall in Quincy, MA.

It’s always exciting to talk to small business owners, and Pat was no different.  We had a great conversation, covering the path that led him to launch this business.  We talked about building a personal brand, marketing (and fundraising) through Instagram, and pushing through the challenges to just make something happen.

Pat’s a truly inspiring person, and we were thrilled to have the chance to talk to him . We hope you all enjoy our conversation with him as much as we did!
