On Episode 034, Patrick Ocampo joins The Broken Instruments.

Pat has been a brother of mine since we were young, growing up in a Community of Faith. Since then, we’ve ventured out into our different circles of friends, finding our individual career paths, and facing the challenges of Life.

Recently, Pat and I have reconnected about marriage and ultimately finding our vocations as Men. While he’s documented his journey through PT school, many have seen his latest post about a particular challenge that has brought him to depths that only he can describe.

In Episode 034 I asked him about his mindset, his inspiration, and his darkest times during this battle. Knowing Pat, his answers didn’t surprise me, but there were times where he made me realize that we relate now more than ever before.
