In this episode of The Two Types of People, former PGA Tour pro Steve Wheatcroft joins host ⁠Pat Sitkins⁠ for one of the most authentic conversations yet.

From being told “no” six times by Indiana University’s golf coach — and still showing up at his door — to clawing his way onto the PGA Tour, Steve’s story is one of relentless determination. Across 14 years on and off the Tour, he experienced the grind, the wins, and the weight of chasing purpose at the highest level.

But this episode isn’t about scorecards. It’s about what happens when the game ends and identity is lost. Steve opens up about hitting rock bottom, the spiral into alcoholism and depression, and what it took to fight back. Now, through The Mulligan Foundation, he’s staging a war against silence, mental health stigma, and the hidden battles athletes face.

This isn’t just a sports story. It’s about choosing to press on when everything in you wants to pace, coast, or quit.

Highlights:

Two Types of People is a ⁠The Determined Society⁠ Production.

From FSU Basketball to building faith, family, and fitness, Ron Miller Jr. lives what it means to press on with purpose.

Show Notes:

In Episode 2 of The Two Types of People, author, trainer, pastor, husband, and father Ron Miller Jr. joins host Pat Sitkins to talk about the true meaning of purpose-driven living.

Ron’s journey has always been about more than titles. A former Florida State basketball player, he went on to build a career in fitness and personal training — while never losing sight of his calling as a long-time pastor, family leader, and mentor.

This conversation goes deep into what it means to keep pressing forward when coasting is the obviously easier path. Ron shares why purpose must be pursued with discipline, how faith shapes every decision he makes, and why family always remains at the center of his vision.

Highlights:

Lessons learned on the court at Florida State with future Hall of Famers

“There are two types of people: those who are humble… and those who are going to be humbled.”

From the Final Four to life-altering adversity, the former UF star and SEC analyst shares what it means to rebuild with purpose.

In the premiere episode of The Two Types of People, former Florida Gators standout and SEC Network analyst Patric Young joins host Pat Sitkins to unpack what it means to live with authenticity, purpose, and perspective—especially when life doesn’t go to plan.

From nearly making multiple Final Fours to sustaining a spinal cord injury that changed everything, Patric walks us through his journey with unshakable honesty. He shares how Coach Billy Donovan humbled him early on, why positivity is a daily rep-based discipline, and how helping others has become his greatest form of strength.

This isn’t a comeback story. It’s a call to show up—even when your path breaks wide open.

- Growing up as “the next Dwight Howard”

- The power of repetition and small drills

- Life in a chair, not defined by it

- What the obstacle gave him that basketball couldn’t

- Starting The Patric Young Foundation

- The difference between resilience and resistance

Bonus Round:

What does Determination mean to Patric?

“Every decision we make is a vote for the person we want to be. You can’t flip a switch—you train determination daily, like reps. Like a shell drill.”
