Don't be a "Non-Playable Character" in your own life.

In this episode of Play Hard & Love Big Radio, Nick sits down with the legend himself, Pat McIntosh—better known as The El Dorado Solar Dude.

From "throwing wrenches" in a rock-rap band in Chico to living off the boot of Italy, and finally building a solar empire in Northern California, Pat is the definition of living life at full volume.

But this isn't just a story about solar panels; it’s a masterclass on the "Infinite Mindset."

Pat and Nick trade hilarious stories from the "Dog Pound" days, discuss overcoming the skepticism of yoga, and break down exactly why progress is the secret to happiness.

If you feel like you're stuck in the background of your own life, this episode will wake you up.In this episode, you will learn:

The "Secret to Life": Why happiness lies in the tiny inches of progress, not the finish line.

The NPC Theory: How to stop being a "Non-Playable Character" and become the protagonist of your story.

The Jelly Bean Metaphor: A brilliant (and tasty) way to look at hiring, leadership, and finding your tribe.

Decision Fatigue: Pat’s "hot tub" morning routine that eliminates stress before the day begins.

Skeptic to Yogi: How Pat went from thinking yoga was for "uptight people" to making it a core part of his life.

Quote of the episode: "If you aren't moving forward, that's where the depression lies. Happiness lies in the progress." — Pat McIntosh
