Authentic & Inspiring
“Thought provoking. Inspiring and empowering. Practical. Patrick has a gift of finding just the right words to cause you to pause and reflect on your life. Love how with each provoking thought, that there is a question for the reader to reflect on and create action in their life. Love that this book really focuses on mindsets. It's these mindsets that will set men apart. Our own self narratives and mindsets will either work for us or get in our way.

How to Be a Good Man
“A Gentleman’s Guide to Winning in Business & Life masterfully distills a lifetime of insights into a guide that is both enlightening and actionable. Patrick’s approach is a thoughtful examination of how a man should conduct himself to achieve success, and how understanding this foundational “how” paves the way to achieving the “what” in both personal and professional realms.
The strength of Patrick’s book lies in its distinction between the process and the outcome. The “how” is an exploration of character, ethics, and the principles of leadership that he believes are essential for genuine success. He argues that before one can effectively achieve their goals—the “what”—they must first grasp the fundamental behaviors and attitudes that lead to success.” - Charles Joseph
