We had the good fortune of connecting with Patrick Shatter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patrick, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
For me giving up isn’t even an option. There’s no way I’m going to give up on myself or my dreams. Of course everything you do won’t be an immediate success but if you stick with it overtime you’re going to figure out a thing or 2. Getting use to being uncomfortable will help you navigate though the difficult times and challenged and when you’re starting something of you’re own you’re going to be experiencing a lot of those. It comes with the territory

Containing 77 grams of protein per a jar and only 3-4 grams of sugar per a serving. It’s the perfect snack to fuel your rockstar life. When we pop up at events we provide a VIP experience for the people. A red carpet experience with a rockstar show.

creating , manufacturing and selling your own product is never easy. The system is set up for it to be difficult for you to do these kinds of things and school doesn’t prepare you for this. The most important thing to do is self education (Don’t skip brain day) you have to seek out the knowledge you need it’s not going to just appear in front of you out of nowhere.

A few important lessons I’ve learned along the way are. Everything is more expensive and takes longer than you anticipate. Learn how to enjoy the journey. The ups and the downs. It’s all apart of it. Don’t be afraid to seek out knowledge and team up with other people on things. It’s important to do your research but at a certain point you have to just start doing things. If you never take action nothing will ever happen.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family, my crew and all the people that have supported me throughout my journey
