In this powerful and wide ranging conversation, Patrick sits down with entrepreneur, former NASA scientist, and AI innovator Dr. Alex Mehr to explore what it really takes to ride the fastest growing technological wave of our time. With clarity and candor, Alex explains how he identified the potential of artificial intelligence long before most people understood its impact and why embracing AI early gave him a unique strategic advantage as a builder and founder.

Drawing on his experiences in science, engineering, and app development, Alex breaks down the repeatable pattern he uses for spotting massive trends, positioning himself correctly, and then pivoting rapidly until he reaches product market fit. He shares valuable insights on how AI entrepreneurs can use A/B testing, system level prompt engineering, and data driven decision making to build better tools faster. Patrick and Alex also dive into one of the most pressing questions of our time: will AI take jobs or create new opportunities? Alex offers a grounded and practical perspective on how individuals, families, and business owners can position themselves to benefit from the AI revolution rather than be harmed by it.

Together they explore the macro concerns surrounding technology, global uncertainty, and the future of work, while reconnecting listeners to the importance of micro action, critical thinking, and focusing on what is actually within your control. From startup pivots and failures, to billion user ambitions, to the role of personal responsibility in the age of automation, this episode delivers high value insights for anyone who wants to stay relevant, competitive, and strategic.

If you are an entrepreneur, investor, business owner, or curious learner who wants to understand how AI is reshaping everything we do, this is a must listen episode.
