SUMMARY

Cody and Danielle Sawyer, the passionate husband-and-wife duo behind Pure Green in Clayton, North Carolina, join the Legacy Makers podcast to share their journey of health-driven entrepreneurship. With backgrounds in fitness, health science, and athletics, the couple opened the first Pure Green franchise in North Carolina, offering 100% organic, non-GMO smoothies, bowls, cold-pressed juices, and more. Their mission is rooted in combating the rise of toxic, processed foods by providing nourishing alternatives that fuel the body to its fullest potential.

Throughout the episode, they dive into their origin story—from the moment they stood on undeveloped land and envisioned a wellness hub, to the grand opening that drew overwhelming community support. The Sawyers share insights on building a brand through grassroots marketing, collaborating with local businesses, and even forming NIL partnerships with high school athletes. They also explore the benefits of juicing, the realities of entrepreneurship, and offer advice for aspiring business owners: take the leap and trust the process.
