Overcoming Entrepreneurial Barriers
Pat doesn’t shy away from the messy side of entrepreneurship.

For perfectionists, he suggests “good enough” milestones—launch that podcast or product before it’s flawless. On failure, Pat’s mantra is “fail fast, learn faster,” treating setbacks as lessons. And fear? Start small to build confidence. These insights from the episode can help you break free from mental traps and take action.
