Hello!​WOW. A LOT has happened since I was last on this blog. Warning: SPICY takes below. Get your mugs of coffee wine in position!​Apparently being on the brink of WWIII perpetrated by a group of the most unhinged, “wtf is a moral” collection of old white dudes isn’t great for a nervous system.​Or a “casual decompress” Instagram […]

I accidentally become a developer.

Back in 2021 when I was about a year into trying to run online programs, I came across a book that changed how I think.​But let me rewind slightly. Prior to Covid I NEVER thought I could make money online because I didn’t really know that whole world existed.​But in March 2020, when everything shut […]

When saying nothing costs you clients

Don’t worry…this is not my sappy end-of-year reflection or my “oh s&^#^&&### how has another year gone by” note. That one’s coming next week. (#phew)​​How are you doing by the way?​This month I’ve been balancing on that glorious thin edge between “the breakdown is imminent… today” And “I can’t believe this is my beautiful life.” (With a brief […]

What do you want to be known for in 2026?

Yesterday I ditched my computer entirely and spent the day with two of my favorite humans – both mentors, both friends, both currently living in Portugal for the next month. And one whom I met in person for the first time ever. We’ve been. chatting for almost 3 years online. Quick story on Gemma. The […]

What happens when everyone taps into the same brain?

It’s been a minute since I just… caught you up on life without trying to sell you an AI Agent–building workshop. (Although, if you did come… have you recovered yet?? Because I’m not totally sure I have🤣.)​​Here’s the guilty-pleasure song I played to welcome 200 of you into that very scary arena: Huey Lewis. (I DARE YOU […]

What Mary J. Blige, a $30 babysitter, and an AI Agent have in common

We celebrated our SECOND year in Lisbon a few weeks back. And because I have zero chill and no one can just enjoy their meal or drink in peace, I made everyone emote.​Nothing like forced feeling talk!! 😍​​“What was your proudest and least proudest moment of Year 2 in Lisbon?!”, I excitedly asked my blank […]

I think I’ve been thinking about business all wrong

I’m writing this from a pub in the Cotswold’s, a week into being more or less offline. And thankfully have not run into JD Vance who somehow managed to discover one of our favorite British spots as his new holiday hang…🥴 The locals are literally protesting him (war criminal signs abound) and pub staff are refusing […]

What an Oasis concert revealed about my business flaws

Before you read this I’d like you to cue up Dirty Dancing “Time of My Life” IN YOUR BRAIN and watch this video. After three and a half years of talking daily, working together, building together, I FINALLY met my online business manager turned co-founder IRL.​Wiebke. Originally from Germany, hailing from Chile these days and […]

She thought I was smaller (I thought she was taller)

Next week I’m teaching at a university in New Jersey (virtual) in their inaugural AI entrepreneurship class. Aside from the fact that I can’t believe I can add “UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR BOO-YAH SAY WHAT” to my website, the back-and-forth with the school has gotten me thinking. When they first asked me to teach the “AI-Powered Content Creation” module […]

My 4 AI workflows that actually work (no tool lists)

“I don’t have any stories Patrice.” This week someone in my Founder’s Fire storytelling program actually said to me, “I Do NOT have a Founder Story!??!” I hear this ALL the time from entrepreneurs and business owners.​And I get it.​​When you’re stuck in the optimization cycle of funnels and LinkedIn posts & trying to get […]

I almost missed the best night with my son for… work
