Guest:
Patrick Fortner is the voice behind Red Mike Messages, a series of straightforward leadership reflections shaped by years in public service and a deep belief in servant leadership. He’s spent most of his career helping others tell their stories—starting as a newspaper reporter and radio DJ before moving into state government, where he’s written speeches, led communications teams, and served in executive roles. Outside of work, he’s coached youth sports, mentored scouts, and served on the board of an educational nonprofit for underserved students. Patrick lives in Austin with his wife, and they’re recent empty-nesters with two grown offspring. At heart, he’s just trying to pay forward the lessons he’s learned—one message at a time.
Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor. Think of them as the funny neighbors with the best stories, the ones who always tell it like it is. With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss! New episodes weekly!
