  • #121: Becoming Unstoppable: Resilient Leadership, Faith, and Confidence with Patrick Mork

    #121: Becoming Unstoppable: Resilient Leadership, Faith, and Confidence with Patrick Mork
    Jun 23 2025
    What if everything you built—the title, the business, the success—left you feeling more empty than empowered? Despite reaching the top of his game as the former CMO of Google Play, a 3x Silicon Valley startup executive, and a bestselling author, Patrick Mork faced the kind of internal collapse no resume could cover. Behind the accolades and ambition, he hit a breaking point that forced him to confront the deeper question so many high-achieving leaders quietly wrestle with: "What if success isn’t the answer? What if I’ve been climbing the wrong mountain?" In this powerful and deeply honest episode of GRASP Confidence, Patrick returns to the show for a second time—bringing with him a level of raw truth and soul-centered leadership we rarely hear in business conversations. As the host of the brand-new podcast Mork Unfiltered (launching June 24), Patrick is no stranger to straight talk. But this conversation goes far beyond business strategy or entrepreneurial frameworks. It’s about identity, burnout, redemption—and ultimately, faith. Patrick opens up about what it really looked like to lose himself, step away from the noise, and rebuild not just a career—but a calling. He shares how rediscovering his faith became the foundation for lasting resilience, and how clarity—not hustle—became the compass for everything that followed. From the chaos of corporate life to the calm of spiritual alignment, Patrick’s story is a reminder that true confidence doesn’t come from performance—it comes from purpose. If you're a high-performing entrepreneur, CEO, consultant, speaker, or author navigating your next chapter, this episode will meet you at the intersection of breakdown and breakthrough. You’ll walk away with powerful insights on how to: ✅ Rebuild your confidence after failure, burnout, or loss ✅ Anchor your leadership in faith, values, and clarity ✅ Stop outsourcing your worth to titles, income, or public approval ✅ Embrace resilient leadership grounded in purpose—not perfection ✅ Lead with conviction and courage—even when the path feels uncertain Whether you're scaling a business or re-centering your life, Patrick offers a roadmap to becoming truly unstoppable from the inside out. You don’t need another tactic. You need truth, alignment, and a renewed sense of why. And this conversation delivers all three. 🎧 Listen now and rediscover what it means to lead with purpose, live with conviction, and build unshakable confidence rooted in faith and resilience. 🌐 Connect with Patrick at patrickmork.com 🎙 Subscribe to his new podcast Mork Unfiltered (launching June 24!) 📲 Follow Patrick on LinkedIn and share the episode with someone who needs to hear it 💬 Leave a review on Apple or Spotify and help more leaders access the clarity they’ve been craving Because confidence isn’t about being certain—it’s about being grounded in resilience. Let Patrick’s story remind you: Your next level doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming more of who you were meant to be. 🌴 Ready to take this work deeper?
