🎙 He Built a Coffee Empire With His 6-Year-Old Daughter – T Shane Johnson | Liberty Ventures Podcast

What happens when your 6-year-old wants to start a coffee business? If you’re T Shane Johnson—you say yes.

In this episode, we sit down with T Shane Johnson, Marine Corps veteran and founder of Big Guns Coffee, the first indoor hydroponic coffee farm in the United States. What started as a dream between a father and daughter turned into a fully operational coffee business—now available in over 300 Walmart stores.

T Shane shares the incredible journey of co-founding a company with his daughter, how they cracked the code on growing coffee indoors, and their bold plan to empower veterans and rural communities through farming innovation. Today, at just 10 years old, his daughter leads the pitches, including the one that landed their Walmart deal.

This is an unforgettable story about grit, purpose, and building something that matters.
