Patrick Sweeney on Founder Mindset, Fear & Building Unicorns | Famous Interviews

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Patrick Sweeney, WSJ best-selling author, five-time CEO, fear expert, and Unicorn creator. Patrick’s journey is anything but ordinary—he went from an Olympic-level athlete to founding multiple companies and investing in 60+ startups.

Today, Patrick helps founders break through fear and make billion-dollar decisions with unshakable confidence. He is the creator of the BOODA Loop, a framework that applies neuroscience to improve founder mindset, performance, and decision-making under pressure.

Patrick teaches founders how to think like a Unicorn founder, avoid belief traps that derail startups before they scale, and build resilience in high-stakes environments. From his car outside the Winter Olympic Games in Milan, Italy, we get into an inspiring and high-energy conversation about fear, focus, leadership, and elite performance.

🎙️ Enjoy this powerful and motivating interview.
