He was forced to cheer for the Green Bay Packers\nwhile his actual loyalty stayed with the Chicago Bears and Cubs. He\nprogrammed a country station he didn't connect with. And the whole\ntime, he was getting really good at being someone else.\nIn 2018 he walked away. No six-month runway. No clients lined up.\nJust a hunch that life was too short to build someone else's dream —\nthe line that later became his TEDx talk.\nTwo years later, on March 18, 2020, the world shut down. The next\nday, Pat went live on LinkedIn and hosted a show he called Small\nBusiness Rally Point. 90 days later, it was a community. Today,\nthe Small Business Owners Community (SBOC) is a membership, an\nannual conference that's drawn Mel Robbins, Mike Michalowicz, and\nSahil Bloom, and a daily show called Businessing with Pat Miller.\nThis conversation is about what it actually takes — on the inside —\nto step out of a professional identity you spent two decades\nconstructing. About how a strength becomes a hindrance. About\n\"chiseling your way out\" toward who you actually are. And about\nexcavating the room you wish you could walk into when you realize\nfounding a business is the loneliest job in the world.\nIf you're building on your own, this one will land.\nCONNECT WITH PAT\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jpatmiller/\nSBOC: https://smallbusinesscommunity.com/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BusinessingShow\nTHE BIGGER STAGE\nConversations with founders excavating the story underneath what\nthey've already built. The shift from operator to authority to icon,\ncaptured on camera.
