How One Conversation Can Change Everything in Business and Life (Pat Hiban)

Pat Hiban meets a stranger while tying his shoes before a run in Chicago. That moment turns into a business partner years later. Another introduction leads to the CEO of a company he co-founded…None of it was planned, but those moments stacked. Real estate conventions. random trips. accountability partners. Each connection built into GoBundance and multiple businesses. The pattern is simple but uncomfortable: he kept putting himself in rooms where he knew no one, then followed through when something clicked.That same pattern showed up in his career decisions. Ten businesses started, eight failed, two worked.The outcomes look clean in hindsight, but the process wasn’t. Relationships determined which opportunities would last and which would collapse.The life he lives now is built on the people he chose to stay connected to decades earlier.
