Our CEO, Patrick Rooney, joined The Growth Focus Podcast to share hard-earned insights and real-world lessons on what it truly takes to build successful companies from the ground up.
Patrick shares his real story—no script, no sugarcoating. What began as a mid-level marketing role at a PR agency took a sharp left turn after an unexpected layoff. That detour? It led to launching not one, not two, but three companies (well—two thriving, and one still very much a work in progress). His journey is anything but traditional, but it’s a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and rolling with the punches.
Give a listen as Patrick talks about:
The real (and unexpected) spark behind his three-time dive into entrepreneurship
How the right people are key to success, regardless of the type of business
How to build trust—even when things fall apart
The power of founder authenticity in shaping a company’s culture and story
His surprising shift from dreading sales to embracing it as a meaningful connection
…and a whole lot more insight, honesty, and humor along the way
