Your
What’s
Wildest
Dream?
You might already know your answer, or maybe you don’t.
Perhaps you are working hard, but your life lacks meaning, purpose, direction.
Maybe you already know who you are and where you want to go, but you are struggling to keep up.
You know that your approach is unsustainable but you do not know a better way.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Here, with us, Jack and Pat, at Wildest Dream.
Hi, we’re Patrick and Jack
We work with people exactly like you, from London to Prague to Bangkok.We are building a platform, movement and worldwide coaching community which we are calling Wildest Dream.
It is a journey with three chapters centred around:
Know Thy Self: Values, Strengths, Passions
Know Thy Path: Fulfilment, Vision, Wildest Dream
Know Thy Steps: Mindset, Energy, Habits.
If one thing captures the essence of what we do, it is the opening lines of the 700 year old Dante’s Inferno:
When I had journeyed half of our life’s way,
I found myself in a shadowed forest,
For I had lost the path that does not stray.

Here’s How to Stop Playing The Wrong Game
It was normal to go to a good school. Normal to go on amazing holidays. Normal to go through $70,000 of higher education. Normal to think the only two career paths out of business school were investment banking and management consulting. Normal to move to Thailand on an amazing salary. Normal to be told you could be the company’s zone president. Normal, normal, normal.

Wildest Dream is the new business that Jack and I have started, but it is also more than that. Wildest Dream is a mindset, a way of life.
Each individual, leader, and team that we work with is unique, and that uniqueness is something which we celebrate. But, when I sit to think about these great people, and about Jack and myself, I ask:
“What are those common threads that enjoin us?” And here’s what comes to mind.

Discipline, does not shackle, it frees. Frees us from our ingrained drive for status, approval, comfort and excess. The biological mechanisms which helped our ancestors survive in the harsh Savannahs, but which have become maladaptive in the overabundant society in which we live today.

That’s the thing about life, you have to try things in the full knowledge that it could be a terrible idea. A Brit moved to Sri Lanka to try the digital nomad life and ended up starting my new favourite Black Honey Café. So, try something, at the very least you’ll get a cool t-shirt, at best you might open a new café.

Conformity is good, but it has never led to the creation of the Apple Macintosh or the lightbulb. The two Steve’s sat in their parents’ garages making computers and Thomas Edison spent 1000s of hours failing to eventually create a working lightbulb. The world doesn’t change when people remain the same. The world changes when a critical mass of humanity slips out of alignment of the norms of society.

Are You Missing Out On Freedom?
What is truly wild is doing exactly what you want to do. Free of the baggage of judgement – positive and negative – from others. When we are 5, 10, 15 and 20, someone has always laid out the next steps for us. Then something happens when we move through our twenties. We let go of that belief that everything is decided for us. Instead, we realise that it’s always been our choice.
We Aren’t A Sleep Business. We Are In The Business Of Dreaming
We can see that being a dreamer of the day is indeed a remarkably beneficial thing to do. So the question is, how do we encourage this dreamlike state, this cocktail of chemicals, even whilst we are awake? Use these three tips to reduce your noradrenaline, boost your dopamine and elevate your acetylcholine.
The Three Princes of Serendip
This desire for magic perfectly catches the point of the question, ‘what is your Wildest Dream?’ It is finding the harmony between planning and going with the flow, setting goals and creating space to explore, keeping habits and starting new ones. There comes a time when you just have to trust in the process, to let go, and to anticipate that magical moments will happen.
A Difficult Decision
As I write to you and reflect back now, I think back to that moment of taking the decision. I was stepping into the unknown. I, as we all humans do, crave certainty, but I intentionally chose a path of great uncertainty. At the time, my mind was spiralling through all the things that could go wrong. What if I failed? What if we ran out of money? What if I wasn’t good enough?
Wildest Dreams Come From Range
From Fuxi to Da Vinci, Leibniz to Claude Shannon - human progress has always been driven by those who crossed disciplines. They weren’t specialists. They were explorers. They followed curiosity, saw patterns others missed, and made creative leaps that changed the world. In today’s age of AI, complexity, and constant change, it’s not your niche that will define you - it’s your Range.
Adventure Is In Our DNA
We’re wired to explore. From ancient migrations to modern leadership, adventure fuels growth, emotion, and self-discovery. But without rest, it leads to burnout.
What Is Your Wildest Dream?
Creating a Wildest Dream doesn’t mean fanciful living in the future. It means stopping to reflect, to think, ‘where do I want to go,’ because only then can we know and be truly conscious that the steps we take today, and tomorrow are in that direction.
