-
- Mental Health
In this episode of Chasing Thoughts hosts Mindy Aisling and Keith Dauch sit down with Pat Cooper, a digital marketer, Star Wars fan, and one who recognized early in his life that paving your own way is more true and authentic than dedication to the prescribed route we are taught to take.
During this interview Pat shares his story of struggling with school simply because it held no interest for him. As Pat began to pave his own path in life, he earned his degree after finding his passion. Pat talks about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur, the times and joy and the times of horrific fear. Through the fear, though, he learned the importance of staying true to yourself, and learning to slow down and prioritize your mental health above all.
If you are feeling lost and confused with what direction your life is taking, or if you are an entrepreneur following your passion, Pat gives some amazing tips and advice to ensure that you always find joy in what you do.
