WHAT IS PTSD?
OUR TEAM

From start-ups and publicly traded companies, to sports celebrities, authors, and high profiled entrepreneurs, Michelle Reilly’s experience and expertise span multiple industries.

Patrick Sweeney
Patrick has one mission – to help millions of people Find the Adventurer Within. He’s the first person to attempt Cycling the Seven Summits and he’s already set a world record by being the first person to officially cycle to Everest Base Camp.
Patrick is more than a full-time adventurer, however. He was 2nd in the Olympic trials in rowing and then went back to a top 5-business school where he discovered a knack for recognizing entrepreneurial opportunities. He started three international technology companies, wrote two books, was awarded seven patents and sold his companies for millions. After a rare form of leukemia nearly brought his world to an end he decided the void in his life was inspiration and adventure – he left technology behind to become a full-time adventurer and inspire others.
Patrick’s last summit, Kilimanjaro (#BikeKili), reached more than 10 million views from coverage in Outside Television and Outside Magazine, Red Bull Media, Bicycling Magazine, Inc magazine and others. With his unique background he understands how to drive a return on investment for sponsors while at the same time inspiring others no matter where they live, what they do or how old they are.
