Turning my Passion into a Profession with Patrick Picone


Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Patrick Picone.

Patrick, who is beginning his journey as a professional lifestyle coach, takes us through his fitness journey. He described this journey as growing up being an athlete, as he played every kind of sport. He tells us about his passion for fitness and how he made the decision to coach professionally.

In his opinion, there is a disconnect in the fitness industry as it relates to persons being able to connect the Value to the Cost of having a coach. As seeing is believing, he elaborates on the importance of testimonials to understand that the struggles you are having now, others have experienced it and were successful in reaching their goal. 

In closing, he wishes to advise anyone who is venturing into the industry like himself; must understand that every client is unique, and you must understand and cater to that client’s unique challenges to get them to their goal.

With the mindset of ‘Always a Beginner’ and the drive to become better for his clients, it is without a doubt that Patrick will be a great Lifestyle Coach.
