Patrick S. Wall speaks to teams, schools, and recovery communities about sobriety, men's mental health, and the quiet work of becoming someone worth being.
Patrick S. Wall is a speaker and the founder of White Pines, a men's mental health movement. He speaks from lived experience — about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and the cost of chasing validation for too long.
His message is not polished, and that's on purpose. It's the message he needed when he was at rock bottom. It's the one he's determined to give to the men standing where he once stood.
Based in Chicago. Speaks nationwide.
Each talk is built to leave the room different than it walked in. Custom adaptations available for your audience and format.
Why external validation is destroying a generation of men — and how to break free from the cycle of achievement addiction without giving up on excellence.
The raw, unfiltered journey from rock bottom to a decade of sobriety — and the practical tools that made transformation possible, not just aspirational.
Moving from ego-driven success to legacy-minded impact. How to build something bigger than yourself — that outlasts you, and that actually matters to the people who come next.
Addressing the crisis of men's mental health with honesty, practical strategies, and the courage to ask for help — before it's an emergency.
This isn't a TED-style performance. It's a conversation that men carry with them long after they leave the room.
Lived experience — not a secondhand story, and not a highlight reel. The real work, honestly told.
Every talk is tailored to the audience. Corporate team, high school class, or recovery community — the message lands where you are.
Frameworks, habits, and resources that work past the applause. Paired with the Phoenix app for ongoing daily support.
