Patrick sits down with Cate Hall, author of the forthcoming book You Can Just Do Things: How High-Agency People Get What They Want Out of Life, for a conversation about agency, reinvention, resilience, and challenging invisible limits.

Along the way, she became a leader in the world of pandemic medicine and now serves as CEO of one of the world’s largest private foundations. Together, they explore what separates people who wait from people who act, why so many limitations are self-imposed, and how individuals can reclaim ownership over their future in a rapidly changing world.

    Disrupt Your Life by Design with Craig Ballantyne

    What if the life you want isn't built through hustle, but through intentional design? In this episode of Disrupt Everything, Patrick sits down with entrepreneur, bestselling author, and performance coach Craig Ballantyne to explore why discipline isn't about restriction. It's about freedom. Known by many as "The World's Most Disciplined Man," Craig has helped hundreds of business leaders and entrepreneurs grow successful businesses while reclaiming their time, protecting their priorities, and building lives they actually want to live. Together, they unpack the principles behind Craig's Perfect Day and Perfect Week frameworks, the surprising power of subtraction, and why so many high achievers become trapped by the very success they worked so hard to create. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overcommitted, or stuck reacting to everyone else's agenda, this conversation offers a different path forward. Because the goal isn't simply to be more productive. The goal is to build a life of meaning, impact, and freedom—on purpose. It's time to disrupt the default and start living by design.
