In this episode of My Kommunity, John sits down with his childhood best friend Pat Strickland — a world traveler, lifelong athlete, and diehard Washington Commanders fan. From snowball fights that felt like warzones to traveling across Southeast Asia, Pat shares how hobbies, sports, and fandom shaped his identity.

We dive into:

• Pat’s early days playing every sport under the sun
• His hilarious snowball sniper moments
• Moving to China and lessons from life abroad
• His deep-rooted loyalty to the Commanders (formerly Redskins)
• What it means to stay true — to your hobbies, to your team, and to yourself

Plus, Pat shares life advice from his travels: the value of curiosity, being off the beaten path, and why loyalty always pays off in the long run.
