What does it take to build one of the Okanagan’s most anticipated Halloween attractions — and what happens when your life changes in a split second?

In this episode of Journeys of Success, Shri Ananda sits down with Glen Taylor, Founder, Co-Owner and Director of Operations of Field of Screams.

What began 13 years ago as an idea to extend the season at O’Keefe Ranch quickly grew from a single corn maze into a massive Halloween experience attracting thousands of guests from across the Okanagan, Vancouver, the Kootenays and even Washington State.

But Glen’s journey took a life-changing turn in 2017.

While preparing Field of Screams the night before opening, Glen was struck by a large tank while operating a tractor. In an instant, he was unable to move from the neck down.

Doctors later told him they didn't believe he would walk again.

Glen had a different answer.

In this deeply personal conversation, Glen shares the story of the accident, the mindset that carried him through rehabilitation, the moment he walked the parallel bars in front of the doctor who thought he never would, and why Field of Screams remains one of the great loves of his life.

We also go behind the scenes of Field of Screams — how it grew from 5,400 guests in its first year to tens of thousands of visitors, the team of more than 100 people who bring it to life, and what the future may hold for the event.

Journeys of Success explores the inner journey behind the outer success.
