Patrick Gallagher

Patrick is obsessed with behavioral economics and its implications across every level of business and marketing. Every day he works to integrate those insights into his clients’ businesses and their lives. Our goals invariably are focused around driving more traffic, better conversions, and higher revenues, but what he really wants is for the people that work with him is the same thing that he wants for himself: a systematized business, built on unfair advantages, that provides autonomy and time freedom.
