Patrick Hennessy Starts Relationship Building

Former fraud investigator Patrick Hennessy is B.O.S.S. Academy’s newest member. He is starting a new business where he publishes newsletters focused on health of men older than 60. He wanted to go to different groups to let people know what he is doing. He publishes his newsletters on LinkedIn and Substack. He plans to make the newsletters subscriber-based and provide health-related information using personal stories and perspective. Right now, he wants companies to know what he is doing in case they might know people interested in his topic.

When he was reaching out to companies, Paul Kirch found him. The B.O.S.S. founder invited Patrick to attend Phoenix Fridays Leadership Power Hour. Patrick attended and joined B.O.S.S. Academy after the first meeting.

“My motives in joining are to have the members get to know what I am doing and provide help to them where I can,” he said.

He hopes to grow his audience by building relationships with members. He has offered to interview members and record those interviews. He also has offered to help people create their own newsletters and to create one for the group.

Even though he is new to the group and has attended just two meetings, he does have ideas on how to improve the Phoenix Fridays Leadership Power Hour. The meeting focuses too much on the social aspect of the group and could use more structure. He recommends having a focused segment, such as a half hour.

“Over time, I hope to learn about the people in the group. Then, I might be able to know how to help them,” he said. “I naturally want to give to others, but I do not always want to have people give to me.”
