You're coaching and providing a lot of value to, you say, kind of the 1% of the 1% in business. So if I somehow stumbled upon you in secondary school and I said, Patrick, what do you want to be when you grow up? What would a secondary school Patrick have shared? Yeah.
I think at that point it was, it depends. If it was like a beginning of secondary school, I think I wanted to be an actor. If it was the middle of the time in secondary school, I wanted to be, I wanted to have a talk show. I wanted to host a talk show.
Were you already like planning and thinking of coming to the States? Were you wanting to build a career in Ireland or what? Was that even floating through your mind at that time?
Well, I always was very taken by the US and this New York in particular, where I lived for five years, and it was sort of hung over my head that if you do well enough on these exams, Patrick, my mom would say, I'll take you on a trip to New York. But that trip to New York never manifested.
The first time I came to the States, I think I was maybe 19 and we came on a family trip and we went to Keirwater Beach for Christmas. And as you can imagine, The United States was New York in my mind. Like that was the country that there was no sense or curiosity about the others. And I remember driving from Tampa to Clearwater and I had never seen things like strip malls.
