Kevin Espiritu is the founder and CEO of Epic Gardening. As a self-taught gardener, Espiritu has spent over a decade producing educational gardening content across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, The Beet Podcast, and the Epic Gardening blog.
It was all in service of a simple mission: teach the world to grow. Epic Gardening has amassed over 10 million social media followers, 21 million podcast downloads, and 100 million blog visits.
In 2020, he purchased his first home in San Diego, CA, which was a small 1,000-square-foot home on a 13,000-square-foot lot. This became his home base for experimenting beyond the garden: into energy systems, composting, chicken keeping, canning, preserving, and water capture.
These experiences formed the basis for this book, “Epic Homesteading.” Additionally, Espiritu has authored two other books, Field Guide to Urban Gardening and Grow Bag Gardening. Listen in for some great takeaways about Kevin’s journey from hobby blogger to YouTuber to entrepreneur.
