150. The power of self-reinvention, with Patrick Buchanan

Sometimes you meet people you automatically vibe with—and that’s how I felt when I met this week’s guest, Patrick Buchanan. In this episode, he shares his story as a Black, gay man in a lower-income family to becoming the VP of marketing at one of the top fashion companies in the US. Patrick has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music and entertainment industry, crafting culture-defining campaigns. Named one of Brand Innovator’s Top 40 Marketers and earning a spot on Nice Kicks’ Future 50 list, Patrick’s passion for marketing shines through his numerous accolades. In our conversation, Patrick details some of the challenges he’s overcome and lessons gained from those experiences. Importantly, he explains how self-reinvention has helped him reach where he is today, and how you can lean into self-reinvention too. We also talk fashion design, thrifting, and minimalism—all topics I love!
