"At the end of the day what I’ve really got clear on for me, right now, is that I’m here, I’m now, this is where I have to make the difference. I want to be present to what I can do today, not a thousand years from now? F***, who cares. It doesn’t matter, I’m gone. My goal is to be the best I can be right now based on what I know and in the study of being the best I can be and showing up and pushing and stretching and pushing others and stretching others and being a catalyst for supporting others and their success. That’s what I’m wired to do, that’s what I love to do, that’s what I want to do.” – Patrick Francey

Show Notes
[02:08] A milestone for TEDM to celebrate - the 100th episode! And a very special guest to mark this auspicious occasion: Mr. Patrick Francey, our charismatic host. And he is interviewed by another very special person: Steffany Hanlen-Francey, Patrick’s wife and partner.
[04:34] Patrick and Steffany start with a shout out to the 100th episode and how he arrived at being the interviewee for this show.
[06:17] Steffany officially welcomes her guest Patrick and we begin with the story of how The Everyday Millionaire concept came to be and what it means to Patrick.
[09:03] Patrick shares where he was four and a half years ago when he imagined the new podcast and what he wanted it to be about.
[10:07] The Accidental Entrepreneur. Patrick takes us back to the styling ‘80s to tell the story of how his entrepreneurial accident came to pass from climbing the corporate ladder to a little thing called a National Energy Policy that derailed the oil & gas industry in Alberta and left him without a job.
[13:33] With a natural gift for building things from very little, Patrick reflects on how he is able to bring forth creativity in business, and at home on their farm in the Fraser Valley. Hands-on is a gift from his father which he thoroughly enjoys, but business is what really lights him up.
[18:13] In 2005 Patrick’s realization of how he wanted to show up in the world going forward informed a pivotal decision for his life that was stamped with the date of November 2006. It came about a bit sooner than expected but it opened new doors, and new developments.
[22:30] What a journey! From an eager REIN Canada member in 2001 to VP of Operations in 2008, and ultimately owner and CEO of the whole darn company, Patrick talks about what led to that decision which moved them from Edmonton, Alberta to British Columbia. His value of being in contribution has always been the underlying driver.
[26:38] Common values are the critical foundation upon which all relationships are built. In the case of REIN, after a number of years working together, a divergence in values between Patrick and his partner Richard spurred the separation of their partnership and allowed them to each move forward on their own path, in their own way.
[28:38] Patrick digs further into the explanation and nature of values and the context they create for our lives when we are intentionally living in alignment with them.
[31:55] Coachability. Patrick’s view of why some individuals respond to coaching wholeheartedly,
