Episode 020 with Patrick Masticola
This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast. Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress. This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes. They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up. Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do. They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.
This week I am very honored to bring you an interview with a very good friend of mine, Patrick Masticola. Pat and I have known each other for a very long time and when I launched this podcast he was one of the first names I wrote down on my list of people I wanted to talk to. Pat and I go way back and we have even been called doppelgangers once or twice. I will say, we do have some very similar characteristics, one of which was being bigger dudes. Pat says that he was always a "bigger" dude and he remembers using techniques to try and "hide" his size. He would wear shirts with large logos or anything to take the attention away from his size. It wasn't until after his marriage while he was on a trip with his wife that he realized he wanted to make a change. There was a picture taken of them on this trip and he was disgusted with the way that he looked.
It was also around this time that Pat discovered something called the Keto Diet. He had a friend who had tried it and really liked it so he shared that with Pat along with a SubReddit about this way of eating. Pat began to adopt this way of eating and he found that he was REALLY enjoying it. He knew this wasn't going to be something he just did to lose weight and then he would go back to his old ways.
After seeing his remarkable transformation picture, I just knew I had to have this conversation with him. I know this episode is a bit on the longer side but it had been awhile since I got to sit and talk with Pat so we went a bit over.
I hope that you enjoy this interview!
