And if there is a setback, you have to kind of take that on the chin, figure out how to problem solve that, and keep moving forward. Just don't get psyched out early on. Love that.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Don't be afraid of the challenge. When you want to take a risk, there's going to be challenges, but don't be afraid of it because you guys are strong enough to do it. If you can think about it and you have the idea to do it, then do it.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I think perseverance is one of the things that they're going to get is just continuing to push through when things get hard or like challenges come through. It's just like that kind of like to my point before is don't be afraid of the challenges, but push through for them.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, as far as, yeah, for myself, it's more of a lot of challenges that people don't face. Some, you know, injuries to, you know, being at a low and to come out of a low. To get to this point, it's more of don't feel discouraged. Always have confidence. Just keep pushing yourself. And some goofiness.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Oh, yeah. Very goober-esque over here.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, so we have, you know, it is a franchise. We do have in-store or brick-and-mortar locations. Like Daniel said, we are the only ones in North Carolina currently. So you can find us at Clayton, North Carolina. There are ways to order online, but you have to order a certain radius for that. I would recommend Google searching. You could be up in New York. You could be in California.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
There are other locations for franchising to get your stuff in-store. You're still ordering.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We do have DoorDash and Uber Eats and all that stuff too. So, you know, we are also on those platforms, which are super fun. So if people can't get out to us, we can come to them.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Pure Green Clayton.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Pure Green underscore Clayton. That's our Instagram. We do have a Facebook presence. Just searching Pure Green Clayton. We'll get you there. But other than that, that's about it. Good. Pure Green Clayton.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
The key component to our stuff is that it's natural, 100% organic, non-GMO, and we don't use ice. So everything that you're getting is going to fuel the body to its fullest potential.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Well, basically kind of what you said is to reach the community for all the other things that are out there that are not good for us, like all the toxic foods and all the things that are in our foods that are just making us sick. We wanted to give an opportunity for people to feel good through our foods.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, so we have smoothies, acai bowls, cold-pressed juices and shots, toast, oatmeal, and some grab-and-go items. But the key components to our stuff is that it's natural, 100% organic, non-GMO, and we don't use ice. So everything that you're getting is going to fuel the body to its fullest potential. Okay.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Well, I have a health and science fitness background. I've always kind of been a little bit more health conscious of just kind of knowing, like, what I want to put in my body. Was I always like that? No. But like when I got into my later teens, I definitely was more self-aware. And I kind of wanted to give back to community with everything that I've learned through my experience.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I would say, well, we stood on the land, right?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, that's right.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We kind of went and scouted some areas and where we could see this fitting in, not for just ourselves, but the community. And there was nothing built there. And we stood on this piece of property, knowing that something was coming. And, you know, we prayed about it. And we said, well, she more said, so we claim this area. We claim this piece right here and we end up getting a spot there.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We kind of like knew about it in the sense of when I first met him and we kind of dated and got together. He always had an aspiration to open a business as well. I was like, I had, you know, support him behind that. So we kind of knew that was going to be something that we were going to do early on in our marriage. So kind of like when we got married, we kind of went to work for it. Yeah.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, I would say just more of, you know, keep pushing through. A lot of people will get to a point and they'll kind of give up. But surpassing that and staying confident in that and kind of find a protocol since this is a franchise business, stick into that protocol and just keep moving forward. And how long did it take? Did you have any problems along the way?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
No, I mean, a couple of delays opening up, nothing too crazy.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
It was more construction of shipping because it was still like the COVID time and everything, but nothing crazy.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
About six months of build out. Okay. But more of leaning up to getting the access or to gaining access to that spot, which was, it had to be built up. So that was more of the wait time behind it.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
It was invigorating. I mean, it was overwhelming with the amount of people and support that we had. So it was fantastic to see that. And it was it was great. I mean, our team was phenomenal, especially with only working four days of training beforehand. They did really well with the pressure that they had on opening day, which is great.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
And then how's business been since? It's been amazing. There's still, you know, daily we have new guests that walk in and ask about things. I guess repeat guests that come on in, they're asking about other products, like how can we benefit their personal journey and where they want to get to. So not only that, but the culture is amazing. Our team's amazing.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
It just, you know, for what or who we are as people instills right into the company itself. Good.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I would say top sellers are smoothies and bowls for sure. A lot of places that are in our area don't do acai bowls. So that's a big staple item on our list of what we offer. Also our juices. To see a cold pressed juice process, no one's really doing that either. They're doing the fresh pressed onsite.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, I would say the process of the cold press juice, it holds the higher value and nutritional standpoint at its fullest potential. So you're not going to get that juice that you do at home where it depletes everything because the fiber is still involved with our cold pressing. So as where if you were to do at home, the fiber is taken out and that's all that pulp is.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
So we have the fiber that's attached to it. So it helps you get that digestion as well as the full nutrition content.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Juicing has unlimited benefits, honestly. We've had a lot of people that have done juice cleanses with us before, and weight loss is one of them. Energy is one of them. They feel more lively. They are able to have a little bit better metabolism. They're choosing right foods.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Having such a big grand opening with a flooding amount of people, people are like, well, what did you do? What did you do?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I've had a lot of people say that since they've been juicing that they're wanting to eat better because they're doing better with their bodies with the juices. So it's just more body and mind consciousness as well.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yes, we do. And then we have new faces that come in every day that are just kind of learning about our business because we are the first pure green in North Carolina. So not many people know our brand yet. So we're brand building and getting our name out there. So we have a lot of people that are still learning about us and coming from different parts of North Carolina to come try us out.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
All the toxic foods and all the things that are in our foods are just making us sick. We wanted to give an opportunity for people to feel good through our foods.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I personally love this question. Yeah, you too. Having such a big grand opening with flooding amount of people, people are like, well, what did you do? What did you do? Not too much, to be honest with you.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We basically needed a community connection, you know, really connecting with the people that are, you know, in the same part where we live, like getting to know them, other small business owners, you know, just kind of collaborations and stuff like that. And just Instagram.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We just kind of like followed our procedures, what we want, who we are, what we do, and just like snippets of kind of the progress points. And then we did like a bigger... grand opening giveaway of 20 something prizes, but that was collaborated with other small business owners in Clayton. So, you know, we're not just in it to meet these big grand people.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We're also collaborating with people that are a part of our Clayton community.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, and to continue on that is what we're doing now. To continue that is we're continuing to do outreaches with our community and connect with businesses in our community and also get with the local high schools and do NIL deals with them with some athletes and stuff like that to kind of help support them, which has been amazing.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
So we have two athletes right now that have NIL deals and they're doing fantastic. Yeah, first time doing it.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, that would be the key is, you know, opening so many locations in the next amount of years. We have other areas outside of Clayton, even further away to the beach that want us there. They've traveled, they see their families and they want us right now. That would be the biggest thing is just staying in more locations.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, I mean, for my side of things, being an athlete of the sport of motocross, it's very demanding on your body. So learning those benefits on how to, I guess, kind of benefit the body in a sense of when we were at a track a few weeks ago, I had a really big calf cramp. And I went and drank our hydration juice and one of our rock and beat shots.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
And I went back out 20 minutes later and I had no cramps at all. So just hearing things like that and really... changing the sports industry from Gatorade and prime and all this stuff into more of a beneficial intake on, on products and things like that. That's kind of where my direction is going to is that, you know, how can we teach people about this in different areas? Love it.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
What about yourself?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah. And from a personal trainer perspective is meeting people in their journey where they are in life and all kinds of walks of life, right? So people that are really fit to people that are trying to learn how to be a little more healthier, just connecting the dots to where they are in life and just supporting them where they are. You can start at any point.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
So that's why I really love that because our juices are hand tailored to where you are at any point.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, I would say take a leap of faith, like do what you love to do. I mean, the time is now, like don't wait kind of thing. If you love it and you feel like the passion behind it, then go ahead and support yourself.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, I'm big on taking the risk. Yeah. You know, why work for somebody the rest of your life until you're 65 years old, you know, 9 to 5-ish or even longer? You know, you don't know what's going to happen if you don't take the risk.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
I would be confident there will be sacrifice along the way, but it's a matter of would you rather work that 9 to 5 or do you want to sacrifice a little bit now to have a more rewarding end? Cool.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
People's the biggest one. Yeah, I can agree with that. More of us just kind of establishing our flow. I know she said people, as far as communication goes, learning everybody quicker, seeing who's in it to be here passion-wise and who's not. Those were a couple of things we kind of dealt with earlier on, but we made those adjustments. Yes. But yeah, more of I think just finding a flow.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Being so busy in the beginning, we didn't have that time for developmental things. And it sounds like hiring, you know, like...
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
No, like, we had everybody, like, in the sense of, like, building our employee base training-wise to be ready for how busy we were going to be. So, like, we had four days of training, but it wasn't enough for the volume that we had. So, like, having the people behind the bandwidth to help the people that we were serving, I think, was our biggest, like, oh, man moment.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Because we were, like, we were underprepared. Yes.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
My dad was running back and forth, like getting almond milk and things and supplies for us because we were just running out because we were just so busy. We didn't have enough bandwidth to succeed.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Just run into the grocery store.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Just get whatever you can get.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
At the end, my brother popped in and was like, you need any help? I was like, yeah, by the way, pop on in. And he started doing dishes.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
We had like family members just like helping us out because it was so, we were so overwhelmed in such a joyful way, but so underprepared.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
How many customers did you have on that first day? Did you not?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Like 8,000 or something.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
no that's um customer base as far as like transactional number that was definitely the 300s and a 1330s flurfo store so everything was filled non-stop um but it's more just kind of getting it out like we didn't have that system yet so it wasn't a slow ramp up it was a big big
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, no, it was like seven o'clock and there was like three people outside ready. And then like once that seven o'clock opened and like it was just like nonstop of just people coming in. We were so grateful, but very like, wow.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, till the next day.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, 10 to 15. You know, as far as my aspirations, it's to do 10 of these in the next nine years. I mean, nine and nine years, basically one every year or duplicate it. Um, it are aspirations to go on more of a diversified business portfolio. We don't know what that holds yet.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Um, but we are looking at options and I would say, honestly, early retirement, you know, just to have things in place, uh, to expand our family. You know, this is what legacy makers is all about is, you know, for us, it's more generational. You know, we're going to be the first ones to create this and want to send that along generationally down. So any thoughts from you?
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, basically that just kind of continue to grow and yeah. Retire early would be nice.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Do you know yet? Talks about for 2026. Not certain yet, but it's more of a brainstorming year. 2025 is about growth right now. Scaling up and see what we can do and then transition into the second or third location.
The Living Your Legacy Podcast
Cody & Danielle Sawyer’s Wellness Revolution Mission
Yeah, sacrifice is my number one. Did a lot of that in our 20s and early in our marriage, so I'm sorry. But definitely sacrifice and having the confidence that you stated and the willing to keep driving. Like, it's not a perfect path. There's going to be brokenness. There's going to be a bunch of hills, valleys, everything. Like, you have to be prepared for every variable.
