Show Notes
Most founders live in one of two places — lost in the idea, or drowning in the execution. Patrick gets honest about the tension he lives in every day: the pull of the aspirational versus the weight of the practical.
In this episode, recorded from home, he breaks down how over-indexing on enthusiasm leads to overcommitment, why he's made peace with doing too much, and how he thinks about ebb and flow as a feature of building — not a bug.
This one's personal. And if you're someone who can't stop coming up with ideas, it'll hit.
What we cover:
- Why Patrick buys domains he never builds (and why he's okay with that)
- The real cost of enthusiasm without operational thinking
- How to use the ebb to make the flow more manageable
- Why Ground Control is a holding company, a lab, and a consulting practice all at once
- Making peace with your nature instead of fighting it
