I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast.

The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential.

Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.

The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life.

And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. As ever, your host,

Matt Dixon. And today we talk about integrating sport into life. We discuss the importance of sport

within life performance, the value of coaching and how to be coached, and also the traits of effective leaders.

The roots tackle these subjects? Well, a discussion with a long-time Purple Patch athlete Pasquale Romano,

or Pat Romano, as is known to us. Both are Purple Patch athlete for now a decade,

but also the CEO of a company that you'll hear much more about, ChargePoint.

He's an amazing leader of a thriving business and also a family man with kids, multiple time Iron Man Finisher, including, yes, that one that's over in Hawaii.

He is, quite simply simply a living and breathing example

of high performance.

And as you're gonna hear in the discussion,

a treasure chest on an insight and lessons for all of us.

I've had the chance to coach Pat,

for goodness me, all of these years now,

and I have to say, and I hope he's not listening,

his evolution and growth as an athlete,

human and leader is quite incredible.

He's a massive part of the Purple Patch journey.

And, well, I was honoured.
