We have a fantastic interview today with Patrick Cummings!

Patrick is an entrepreneur, business coach, and wealth-management advisor committed to helping others balance their lives for happier outcomes. He worked in the corporate world for twelve years before deciding to start a business of his own and gain control of his time when his children were toddlers. Patrick lives in Washington State with his wife, Brooke, and is an active member of his community.

As a country, we are not in good shape. Much of that comes from where we are mentally, with all the fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and pressure we get from the news and media. The media feeds on people’s fear and anxiety, yet people just can’t put their phones down.

Patrick and Jason discuss why we are in such bad shape as a country and what we can do to improve our mental and physical wellbeing. They also talk about work-life balance, engaging fully with your kids, the importance of spending quality time with your family, and setting yourself up for success in life. 

This is an episode you definitely won’t want to miss if you want to be a better dad and family man and find more balance in your life!
