The Patty Show

What if the story you keep telling yourself is the very thing holding you back?
For Episode 103 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with Zak Nash—a longtime rock drummer, actor, 1st AD, husband, and fellow member of the 5AM Fun Fit Club—for an honest, hilarious, and sometimes very unfiltered conversation about identity, masculinity, fitness, relationships, entertainment, mindset, and building a life on your own terms.
Patty and Zak first connected on set, where Zak was working as a 1st AD. They immediately clicked, and this conversation picks up that friendship with plenty of laughs, real talk, and stories from both sides of the entertainment world.
Zak has spent years as a drummer for Liquid Ginger in the Savannah, Georgia rock scene, while also working in acting and film production. Now he's preparing for one of the biggest changes of his life: moving to Thailand with his wife.
The conversation explores what it means to start a new chapter, challenge old expectations, grow within a marriage, and have the courage to create a life that actually feels authentic.
And of course, Patty couldn't let a fellow 5AM Fun Fit Club member off the hook.
Zak gets up around 3:50AM to train with his wife, so we dive into the mindset behind waking up early, training with your partner, staying accountable, building discipline, and taking care of your body so you can show up stronger everywhere else.
From rock music and film sets to fitness, marriage, masculinity, personal growth, Thailand, and the stories we carry about ourselves, this episode goes in a lot of directions—but it all comes back to one question:
What story are you writing now?

What does it really mean to build the life you've been dreaming about?
For Episode 102 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with Wayne A. Moody, Belizean life coach, Life Mastery Consultant, Dream Builder, and the man known as the “Minister of Transformation.”
This one is special because Patty isn't meeting Wayne for the first time.
Wayne became a life coach to Patty's good friend Luckario through their mutual friend Barry, and after building that connection over time, Patty eventually got to experience Belize with Wayne during Luckario's bachelor party weekend.
So naturally... they had to record an episode.
And not just anywhere.
This conversation was recorded at the beautiful Hopkins Bay Resort in Belize, surrounded by the energy, culture, and scenery of a country Wayne knows and loves. What started as a planned conversation quickly turned into a completely off-the-cuff, nearly two-hour hangout about dreams, transformation, friendship, travel, culture, and life.
Wayne shares his incredible journey from Belize to the United States and the many chapters that shaped him along the way—from working in schools and prisons to driving for Uber and eventually building a career dedicated to helping people transform their lives.
His philosophy is simple but powerful:
The dream doesn't have to stay a dream.
We talk about what it takes to turn a vision into action, overcome the fear of starting, keep believing in yourself through different seasons of life, and create a future that actually feels like yours.
But this isn't just a personal-development conversation.
Wayne also becomes our unofficial Belize tour guide.
🇧🇿 Belizean culture and identity🏛️ Mayan history and temples🌴 The Caribbean and Central American influences that make Belize unique🎉 Pre-Carnival energy and celebrations🌎 Life between Belize and the United States🤝 Friendship, mentorship, and community💭 Dreaming bigger than your current circumstances🧠 Mindset, transformation, and personal development🎯 Turning vision into action🌱 Building a life around purpose and possibility
And throughout the conversation, Patty naturally connects Wayne's philosophy back to his own journey—acting, filmmaking, podcasting, the 9–5 tech world, personal training, the 5AM Fun Fit Club, online coaching, and the ongoing pursuit of his own Personal Paradise.
Because there isn't one blueprint for a great life.
Your Personal Paradise might be a business.
A creative career.
A healthier body.
A stronger mindset.
A family.
Travel.
Community.
Or simply having the courage to finally pursue the thing you've been talking yourself out of.
Wayne's story is a reminder that transformation doesn't happen all at once. It happens every time you choose to believe that something different is possible—and then take the next step.
This episode is full of laughs, Belizean culture, life lessons, crazy stories, friendship, travel, and the kind of honest conversation that makes you stop and ask:
What dream am I building?
Come hang with Patty and the Minister of Transformation from beautiful Belize.
Passion. Pleasure. Positivity.
Keep pursuing your Personal Paradise.

EP. 101 – Curiosity Creates Possibility w/ Bao Le | The Patty Show
What happens when curiosity takes you from Singapore to the world of filmmaking?
In Episode 101 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with Bao Le, a Singaporean cinematographer and filmmaker whose creative journey has taken her from discovering filmmaking in Singapore to studying at Nanyang Technological University and the American Film Institute, and ultimately building her career in Los Angeles.
Bao shares the realities of pursuing filmmaking as a Southeast Asian woman in an industry that can feel far removed from the traditional expectations placed on women in her community. While opportunities and representation are growing, stepping outside the expected path and choosing a creative career still takes courage, conviction, and a willingness to bet on yourself.
The conversation dives deep into cinematography, visual storytelling, lighting, collaboration, working on set, finding your creative voice, and what Bao has learned from studying and working across different filmmaking environments.
But this is The Patty Show—so we go WAY beyond the résumé.
Patty and Bao actually worked together on set, leading to stories about filmmaking, acting, production life, and Patty's unforgettable transformation into a 65-year-old retired lawyer.
Then things get personal.
Bao opens up about her love of K-Pop, EXO, D.O., anime, and Gintama, including the unbelievable story of her and her friends paying someone to wait in line for two weeks for K-Pop tickets.
Yes. Two weeks.
They also talk about hiking, diving, cooking, culture, life in Los Angeles, Singaporean roots, creativity outside of work, and the importance of staying curious.
At the heart of this conversation is a simple idea:
Curiosity Creates Possibility.
Sometimes following one question can change the entire direction of your life.
Bao's story is a reminder that you don't have to follow the path expected of you. You can take your culture with you, explore new worlds, build your own creative identity, and pursue a life that feels authentically yours.
And because Bao is the homie, she even came bearing gifts from Singapore—Natural Squirms gummies, which Patty can officially confirm are dangerously good. A little taste of Singapore made its way onto The Patty Show set!
This episode is for filmmakers, actors, creatives, Southeast Asian artists, immigrants, K-Pop and anime fans, and anyone figuring out what their own Personal Paradise could look like.
And of course, Patty connects it all back to the bigger mission: Passion, Pleasure, Positivity, and building a life you actually want to wake up for.
Come for the cinematography.
Stay for the K-Pop and Gintama stories.
Leave feeling a little more curious about what's possible for you.
What are you curious about?

100 episodes. One unforgettable full-circle moment.
For the milestone 100th episode of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with someone who helped shape the course of his life long before Hollywood auditions, podcast microphones, 5 AM workouts, or a career in tech.
His high school theater teacher, mentor, and lifelong friend, Shaun Mitchell.
Shaun is an award-winning educator, TEDx speaker, theater director, and Dean of Students whose impact extends far beyond the classroom. Through years of mentorship, encouragement, and leadership, he has inspired countless students to believe in themselves and pursue lives filled with purpose.
Together, Patty and Shaun revisit the productions that sparked a dream—from Almost, Maine and Deathtrap to Prospect High: Brooklyn and 12 Angry Men—while reflecting on the lessons that continue to shape them today. They explore mentorship, education, leadership, relationships, creativity, identity, and the extraordinary power of believing in another person.
More than a conversation about theater, this episode is a celebration of the people who quietly change our lives. The teachers, coaches, mentors, friends, and family members who see our potential before we see it ourselves.
Without Shaun's belief years ago, The Patty Show—and the life Patty is building today—might have looked very different.
Whether you're an educator, artist, entrepreneur, student, parent, coach, or simply someone pursuing your own Personal Paradise, this episode is a reminder that one conversation, one opportunity, or one person can change everything.
In this episode:
Celebrating 100 episodes of The Patty Show
Shaun Mitchell's journey as an award-winning educator and TEDx speaker
The lasting impact of mentorship
Lessons from high school theater that still apply today
Leadership, relationships, and authentic connection
Building confidence through creativity
Pursuing purpose over perfection
Why believing in someone can change the trajectory of their life
Thank you for being part of the first 100 episodes of The Patty Show.
Here's to the conversations still to come.

What does it really mean to build the life you train for?
In Episode 99 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with actor, martial artist, teacher, and filmmaker Victor Mambu for an inspiring conversation about passion, perseverance, identity, and staying committed to the journey.
This episode is special because it was the first time Patty and Victor met in person, but the connection felt instant. Two creatives sharing the same love for storytelling, representation, and creating something meaningful beyond themselves.
Victor shares his incredible journey from being born in Jakarta, Indonesia to building a life and career in Hollywood. Over the years, he has worked across film, television, commercials, and independent projects while continuing to grow as an artist and storyteller. His journey includes appearances in projects like Fallout, Sugar, and White Men Can't Jump, while also stepping into new creative roles behind the camera.
But this conversation goes much deeper than credits.
Victor opens up about being Indonesian-American in Hollywood, the importance of representation, his passion for martial arts, his experience as a teacher, and the mindset required to keep showing up when the dream takes longer than expected.
Patty and Victor talk about the reality of chasing a creative career, finding joy in the process, building discipline, and understanding that success isn't something that happens overnight—it is something you train for every day.
From auditions and acting jobs to personal growth and future projects, Victor shares the lessons that have shaped him into the person he is today.
Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, dreamer, or someone working toward a bigger vision, this episode is a reminder that every step of the journey matters.

What do Yale science labs, Off-Broadway stages, documentary filmmaking, and a family passion for winemaking have in common?
In Episode 98 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with actor, filmmaker, and friend Adrien Rolet for a thoughtful conversation about mindset, resilience, creativity, and the experiences that shape who we become.
Raised in the United Kingdom with French, American, and Italian roots, Adrien has followed an unconventional path. From performing as a boy soprano in London churches to studying biology and theatre at Yale University, directing documentaries, and making his Off-Broadway debut in New York, his journey is a testament to the power of curiosity and embracing multiple passions.
Recorded in Adrien's Brooklyn apartment, this episode feels less like an interview and more like two friends exploring the lessons they've learned from pursuing meaningful work and staying open to unexpected opportunities. Adrien shares insights from his acting career, documentary filmmaking projects, and scientific background, revealing how each discipline has influenced the others.
The conversation also touches on family, culture, storytelling, personal growth, and the importance of mindset when navigating uncertainty.

What do Dungeons & Dragons, Meta leadership, and decades in tech have in common?
In Episode 96 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with fellow Meta teammate (Metamate), community leader, and longtime friend Jeffrey Shih for a conversation about discipline, identity, leadership, and the routines that keep us grounded through life's constant changes.
Jeffrey has spent nearly three decades building a career around solving problems, supporting teams, and becoming the person people trust when things get complicated. From the early days of the internet to his current role as a Client Solutions Manager at Meta, Jeff has seen technology evolve while staying consistent in one thing: showing up, helping others, and finding solutions.
But this conversation goes far beyond tech.
Jeff shares stories about growing up Asian American, his college journey at UC Davis, his involvement in the AAPI community, and how his love for Dungeons & Dragons unexpectedly became part of his personal story. Patty and Jeff dive into the power of routines, why discipline can create safety instead of restriction, and how returning to the basics can help us navigate uncertain seasons of life.
This episode is a reminder that success isn't just about achievements or titles. It's built through consistency, curiosity, relationships, and the people who help hold the community together.
Whether you're building a career, leading a team, searching for balance, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, Jeffrey's journey offers lessons on staying grounded while continuing to grow.
