This week I sit down with Patrick Birdsong for a raw, energizing convo on rebuilding health, leading with boundaries, and winning in a tough market.
We get into his 50-lb weight loss (and how tirzepatide helped reset food patterns), why 5:15 a.m. workouts + community changed everything, the art of not self-sabotaging when life is finally good, and the exact reasons his team is having its best year ever in the hardest real-estate environment he’s seen.
Key Highlights:
- Health reset, honestly: Patrick shares how tirzepatide quieted the “addict brain” around food, why consistency - hero workouts, and how intensity + community (hello, 5:15 a.m. crew) moved the needle.
- Ego off, form on: Lifting smart, scaling movements, and refusing to get injured for pride.
- Men, vulnerability, and momentum: Why hearing “yeah, that was hard” from the room matters—and how small encouragements compound.
- When life is good (and scary): Swapping chaos addiction for contentment, liking yourself without apology, and creating real boundaries (even if that means “let’s do this tomorrow”).
- Parenting with presence: Dating your kids one-on-one, letting them see the real you, and modeling a life you actually enjoy.
- Business that wins right now:
“Opportunity wears overalls” — this market rewards the ones who show up daily.
Boomers run today’s market: downsizing, moving freely, creative deals, and helping kids into homes.
In-person still wins: Older clients want to meet, sign, and refer—loyalty compounds.
- Best year ever in the toughest climate: hard conversations, consistent prospecting, and intentional health fueling performance.
- Take up space: You’re allowed to want what you want—no apology necessary.
