What does it really take to build a business that not only thrives but runs without you? In this episode of the Vital Wealth Strategies Podcast, host Patrick Lonergan sits down with Pat Brennan, CEO and founder of Catalyze Growth Partners, to explore the keys to entrepreneurial success. Pat shares his inspiring journey—from getting fired to discovering he was meant to be an entrepreneur—and how he built a business that helps companies grow through a holistic approach to marketing, lead generation, and client acquisition.
Throughout the conversation, Pat reveals how to fail forward and adapt to an evolving market while staying true to your values. He explains why building trust, developing systems, and training the right team are essential for creating a business that works without you at the center. If you want to learn how to generate consistent leads, attract the right clients, and scale your business with purpose, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won’t want to miss.
