In-person at the Nic Bittle Studio in Corn, Oklahoma and all the way from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is Patrick McGowan. Patrick is Nic's audio producer for the Life & Leadership Podcast.

They cover a range of topics including why it's important to show up on video like you care and how the goal of all communication is to connect with another human.

Patrick McGowan is the owner of Punchn Communications, an advisory firm committed to empowering more human connection. He is a leading expert on transforming people and teams through the way they talk.

He started Punchn in 2020 because he looked like a potato on camera—and has since helped dozens of professionals achieve more clarity and confidence across the lens. He is a teacher, facilitator, and student of how to communicate with power, presence, and credibility.

Patrick works with leaders who want to grow their influence and professionals who want to expand their reach. In a world full of noise and distraction, it’s critical the way one communicates is clear, confident, and compelling.

After a 25+ year career leading healthcare innovation, managing a manufacturing startup, and even serving as a pastor of a church (to name a few), he has the experience, tools, frameworks, and understanding for how changing the way we talk can change the way we work.

People choose to work with Patrick because of his probing questions, how he colors outside the lines (always has, according to his big sister), and his calm confidence. His customers report that he makes them look good: giving them more confidence, more energy, and more impact. He produces podcasts for professionals who have a message that deserves to reach more people.
