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

Hi Joshua, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
Due to the terrible state of health in our society (especially in my specific community), I knew there was a need for a culture shift with optimal health and wellness as a focal point.

I’ve also always believed in God, and in the fact that God resides in everybody.

So from there, I put those two ideas together and generated Body Of God Health & Wellness. I brought it to my brother and business partner Chase McGhee, he loved it and we took off from there.

We both agreed that our community and the communities beyond would benefit greatly from a cultured business focused Optimal Health & Wellness, in the sectors of education and supplementation.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The thing that separates Body Of God Health & Wellness from any other health & wellness company is our major emphasis on providing our community with free practical health & wellness education, through our instagram page as well as our free health consultations.

I’ve always been a business minded since a child, it might be genetic. I told my parents early that I wanted to own my own business. My first shot at entrepreneurship was selling candy in school. it took over 10 years of skill development, successes, and failures to reach consistent stability in business.

It definitely wasn’t easy getting to this point the biggest hurdle was aligning my purpose for health with my passion for business. It took some time to create the formula to make that work.

I ultimately overcame that by staying consistent and not chasing paper over purpose.

The main lesson I learned along the way is to stay in your lane and never get caught up in what other people or businesses may be doing. Focus on being and becoming the best version of yourself and creating the best business that you can.

I want the world to know that optimal health & wellness is the foundation of prosperity, and whatever you gain in life cannot be experienced at its fullest potential until you achieve that.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
