Patricia shares her story of building a marketing company, P. Muellen & Associates, after years of varied experiences: politics, staffing, chamber of commerce leadership, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, she’s made big mistakes (like selling a staffing company for $10), survived major health battles (fertility issues, double hip replacements, and upcoming hysterectomy), and navigated tough personal transitions with humor and grit.

Patricia reflects on:

The freedom and stress of solopreneurship — choosing risk over comfort.

The support of her husband, who gave up his own dreams to help her pursue hers.

The evolution of her confidence, from people-pleasing in her 20s to being fully unapologetic in her 40s.

How failure and pain have shaped her success, giving her empathy and drive to help others through their own challenges.

The importance of authenticity, both in business and life — being real, swearing when needed, and refusing to hide behind perfection.

She also tells wild stories from her entrepreneurial past: almost buying a winery, a gun range, and even a speedboat company — all part of her “damn I tried” philosophy.
