On this Episode of Unbound Conversations
When Patrick received a call from his coach announcing that he would row in the World Cup, it should have been one of the happiest days of his life but instead, the news triggered panic. In this action-packed episode, Patrick shares how a near-death experience shaped his worldview, together with the important lessons learnt.
You’ll hear how he transformed his fear of flying into flying acrobatics and stunt planes in competitions, bringing mountain bikes up Mount Kilimanjaro, visiting Ukraine five times during the war and all of his wild adventures. Patrick inspires us to confront our fears and rise above them, proving that anything is possible when we find strength within ourselves.
