What happens when your lifelong dream suddenly stops and something unexpected takes its place? In this episode, Soleil Rain sits down with Pato Gomez, the founder of What Excites You, an art and fashion brand born from a detour in life’s path.
Once a Division I soccer player, Pato found himself sidelined and questioning his future, until a creative spark turned into a passion for painting and fashion design. Together, we explore:
- How art became a refuge during a challenging time
- The mental shift from athlete to artist
- Why inspiration alone isn’t enough—and how diligence fuels creativity
- What it really takes to build creative confidence
- How to keep going when the process is messy and frustrating
Whether you're building a brand, nurturing a side project, or rediscovering your creativity—this conversation is a reminder that what excites you is worth chasing.
