Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and is responsible for nearly 50,000 deaths in 2019, which relates to about one every 11 minutes.  Suicide riddles this society and being nearly the 10th leading cause of death in the US there needs to be more awareness around it.  In this podcast, we bring awareness to depression and suicide as well as hear an inspiring story of a man who overcame so many hardships and is now thriving in life. We'll learn of his incredible journey of once duct taping his windows to prevent any sliver of light from coming into his room because he was that depressed and suicidal, to now being a thriving entrepreneur,  Patrick went from depressed and suicidal and lacking any purpose to selling a million dollars on Facebook and growing a six-figure income. Patrick leveraged his creative side and to marshal the darkness that once nearly took his life, he's a poet, he's an artist and you're gonna learn all about it on this podcast. Patrick has worked with non-independent films, major network tv shows such as The Biggest Loser, Spike TV as well as having poetry published and recording music. He has also taken on the entrepreneurial world with his successful coaching and insurance businesses. In the podcast, he'll read some poetry of when he was in his darkest moments and then some of his poetry from where he is at his brightest. Patrick has gone from being about as low as a human being can be, from cutting himself and nearly bleeding to death in a tub, to now crushing it in the world.  His incredible story gives hope to many people out there that may be suffering from depression or struggling with thoughts of suicide.
