Summary
Sometimes the best thing you can do—whether it's growing food or running a business—is stop forcing it. This week I share what mushrooms taught me about systems, patience, and letting things grow on their own.
In this episode:
- Why I started cultivating mushrooms and how it ties to the Holler Roast coffee-grounds waste stream
- Early failures with DIY bins and Tennessee humidity
- The easy automated setup that finally worked
- First-round lessons (including a moldy pink oyster experiment)
- Cooking payoff: duck-fat blue oysters worth the wait
- And the big picture—how the "don't force it" mindset applies to business and life
- You don't make mushrooms grow, you make it easy for them to show up. Same goes for your business.
- The Takeaway
- Mushrooms—and systems—thrive when you build the right environment and step back. Stop forcing it, build your setup, and let the good stuff show up.
Make it a great week!
GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.
