Patrick Season 2 Episode 12

A client asked why I like staying around 13–15% body fat. The “PC” answer is: I perform best there and feel good. The real answer goes deeper, and it’s the key to hitting goals without grinding your willpower into dust.

In this episode, I break down how to set goals you actually keep by pairing masculine drive (do the reps) with feminine imagination (see the future you). You’ll learn how to tie your goals to a real emotional driver, so your body goes on autopilot. I share the story of dropping too low, dialing it back to what actually feels powerful, and how I linked my target body comp to love, family, and identity… so staying lean became a byproduct of who I am, not a fight.

What we cover:

  • Why 13–15% body fat is my “perform + enjoy life” zone
  • The big mistake: chasing outcomes vs. becoming the person who gets them by default
  • Masculine (push) vs. feminine (vision) energy, and how burnout happens when you use only one
  • Habit pairing: link new actions to stuff you already do (tooth-brushing, morning routine, etc.)
  • Find your true driver (love, legacy, winning, adventure) and watch compliance get easy
  • Sync business goals with personal goals so your life moves in harmony, not tug-of-war
