Patrick Dearborn brings unwavering purpose to every role he leads—whether as a top real estate agent, fire commissioner, or community advocate in Naples, Florida. In this episode of The Determined Society, Patrick and Shawn engage in a powerful conversation about faith, duty, daily disciplines, and the importance of service, unity, and unshakeable grit.

They peel back the layers on his early mornings—starting his day at 4 AM to get the hardest thing done first—and discuss his role in building what he calls “Freedom Town USA,” a community rooted in shared American values rather than division.

This episode covers:
-What's Freedom Town USA and why Naples is the model for unity

-His journey from military service to real estate and firefighting—building a life on discipline and honoring your "call"

-The daily practice of “doing something you don’t want to do” as a determination muscle

-How to fight division in American life by choosing unity, empathy, and connection

-Tales from the fire service and what it means to truly serve—and pay with sacrifice

-Why a relentless morning routine is Patrick’s non-negotiable baseline

-What it truly means to be the GOAT (special shoutout to GOATED GOLF)

What Determination Means to Patrick:
“Waking up at 4 AM, doing the hardest thing first, and serving others before serving myself.”
