Patrick and Mary….. you are NOT broke. You have each other and god willing, your health. You are wealthier today than you’ve ever been. You said it earlier, it’s just stuff! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey man you look WAY healthier today than in those old restaurant pics! Everyone has a story and I appreciate you sharing yours! You are blessed with a supportive wife and family - in the end that’s all we need in this world!
Thanks for sharing your story with us...health is wealth, and from what I see, you couldn't be any happier or luckier than you guys are right now...hope you find the right cardiologist to address your heart cause you care about people and there's alot of life yet to be written in your story...love your channel...wishing you good health and happiness...now and in the future!!
Many years ago, I had a decent job making good money. One day, I'm carjacked, knocked out, thrown in the back seat, driven out in the middle of nowhere, stopped on a bridge and thrown off into a river. I survived but set me back years and years. Started over, invested in the market, made money and finally was able to retire but went through a lot of ups and downs,. Started back over various times. I hear your story and it rings a bell because I worked in the restaurant business for many years. Never have been able to figure out why when I hear famous people starting a restaurant. Must be a vanity issue. Today at 71, it's the little things that make me so happy, health being one of them.
This homeless lady was definitely a clairvoyant and saw your energy being depleted day by day. Your vulnerability and transparency is what this world needs. I applaud you and feel this is all for a reason for you to just live your life ... outside, enjoying the sun. What is the most impressive is how much love you show for each other despite all the ups and downs. This is a success story for me and I thank you for sharing that 💞✨
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We all fail. I ate at Chipper’s. Food was great. Rent was probably pretty high over there. And it’s super competitive down here. Thank you guys for giving it a shot.
At 62, I had cardiac ablation. Immediately, and I mean immediately, I felt better in the recovery room and every day since (2 years ago now). Get it done, Patrick!
@@MaryONeil-ks5mekeep after him, Mary. I’m a retired medical provider (medical/psychiatric) social worker. I’ve seen countless millionaires who make their stressful jobs their focus and they don’t live healthy lives and end up with complicated health conditions. Sometimes we have to lose to win. But when it comes to healthcare, don’t delay. Patrick looks better now than back in his younger years. Your lives now are beautiful. Remember it’s not about the “stuff” but our relationships. You live lives others would die to have.
Thanks for your video. I use to live in a 5,000 square foot house on some acreage. I now live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a kitchen/living room. The feeling of not having all that "stuff" has helped me get rid of a lot of stress. Very frugal today where in the past I wasn't. I completely understand how you feel. Live a good life and celebrate each day as a gift. At the end of the day, everything will work out.
I truly have a heart for business owners, especially since early 2020 when SHTF. I don't wish a day-to-day struggle on anyone, especially owners/operators. It breaks my heart to see a fraction of the foot traffic at so many businesses now compared to 4.5 years ago. You're right - it's not having things you want, it's wanting the things you have. When you look at it that way, you both are still millionaires many times over and that's what matters most.
Patrick and Mary......you'll always be winning in my book! Love your honesty and how you two are such a great couple. Keep kicking ass guys! Timmy C Arizona
Anyone who’s really lived, had and had not, struggled, started over…understand this channel. Hits hard. Just subscribed … I feel your pain. Lost a lot but still have enough. You know how I know it’s enough.. ??? Because it has to be enough. 🤷🏼♂️
I really appreciate how honest you are about your failures in life. First of all, few have the guts to admit to that & instead chose to pretend that they are always successful to protect their weak egos. It takes true strength & integrity to be honest with others, but most importantly with yourself. And to see someone like you admit to failures most certainly helps others like myself, who have faced big failures & have begun to feel like worthless people as a result. For I consider you to be a very successful person--in all the ways that truly matter--and so it makes me think that perhaps I too can be okay in life despite my material failures & some day have the same happiness & positive perspective that you have. Thank you for making me believe that is possible as it really has been dark times for me lately. The hope you have provided really helps, so thank you with all my heart.
This is heartbreaking to listen to. I hope for the best for both of you going forward. I can relate to how you feel about the only thing you feel you can do being taken away from you. I feel the same myself. I am 67 and still working because I have a lot of debt and can’t do anything else. Health is wealth for sure. Cherish that. I am also in a lot of pain which is hard to deal with. I hope you are living pain free.
The homeless population are overlooked but are still keen observer. They can still think and make assessments that are accurate, and then they live in their world as well. You guys are a really great duo. Thanks for sharing ❤
Health and a wonderful wife is all that's needed! That's what I have and it's what I cherish everyday! I had one restaurant with a partner who in the end screwed me but also SCREWED HIMSELF and I couldn't be any happier that he knows what he did and I survived and became stronger! I look forward to appreciating each and every day that I'm fortunate enough to be on earth! Look forward not back Mary and Pat!
Great channel, thank you for the story, which is important to hear for many people. That last Restaurant story is tough. As a marketing guy, two cents; Bad name for a BBQ, sign and front facia looks like a lower level Restaurant but you had a beautifully decorated high class bar Restaurant inside. Newer nicer Restaurants are judged so much from the outside to gain the excitement of the first time customer and I think although the big sign helps you be scene, it also looks like a lower end franchise. Patrick I hope I'm not hurting your feelings, just giving some honest feedback as your liable to get an offer you can't refuse to participate in another Restaurant some day. God bless you and good luck with your heart + family.
You might have failed in business but you didn’t fail in giving great advice and hope and clarity with this UA-cam channel! The food you made is eating and gone the next day but advice you are giving too others lasts a life time! 🇨🇦 A young snow bird just spending is time in Florida and loving your story.
Florida is seasonal. The only restaurants that make money now days are the ones where 50% of sales or more are carry outs. High end restaurants went out of style in the early 2000.
It is but not like the 70’s and 80’s even 10 yesrs ago we would great now the tourists are gone we can speed over to Destin. Well Destin is hoppin’ year round now. Snow birds show up in winter and then in March Spring Break so we dont get then” whew, exhale yayyy the tourists are gone “ time like we used to when they literally were cleared out completely by late fall
That homeless woman was a seer. They walk among us largely unnoticed. That, or she picked up on some a conversation between you and wife, or your staff.
I enjoy the pursuit of making a difference in life; for myself, my partner, my family and others. I learned this in my 50’s. I always wondered before my 50’s why I didn’t appreciate having wealth, even when I lost it twice, once in my 30’s and once in my 40’s. I agree that one day this bone suit will stop working so until then, make a difference and keep on keeping on ❤
True, we "all take a dirt nap" one day. And we don't take out stuff with us. It's our souls that go. And then we stand before God and let's hope we hear "Well done, my good and trusted friend" and not "depart from me, I never knew you." All of your experiences are of a life lived fully and lived well. Lives now full of wisdom. Don't stop here though. Make that connection with God, he is familiar with sorrows and pain. Get to know him. And then some day, you will kiss this life goodbye and enter into another one, where there are no tears. God Bless you.
Looks like you guys still drive nice cars with leather seats, sun roof, nice home you live in.. Friend we all have trials and tribulations you were given much more than most. Just roll with life move forward
Hi Patrick and Mary. It's almost 1:30am here and I've just finished watching your video. Thank you once again for sharing what's going on in your life (now and in the past) I do so look forward to that. I would also like to say, you are getting really professional at making these videos! Many thanks, Chris....in UK
Well, after living on Holiday Isle for so long, I can tell you that it's so seasonal there it's almost impossible to make it there. Snow Birds will kill your business fast. Even locals tend to hibernate in the off season as they don't have the excess of cash to go out. The Universe spoke to you that day through that woman for sure. What a testament to a higher power! Patrick you and Mary have everything without the millions... most of all LOVE. I agree with the "last rodeo" feeling. It's why I'm also a retired service industry person thank God. Pray you will be 100% with your heart very soon.
Patrick and Mary: Thank you for this very meaningful VLOG. Having lost in the restaurant business and facing similar AFIB issues I can really relate to what you are saying. I wish you and your family the happiest holiday season.
I you are bless my man. You have inspired many people. Look at that as your past experience. You and your family are the prize treasure . You lived lfe to the fullest ....blesings to ou nd your family.
My neighbor in Chicago owned 2 restaurants. He was Greek. Mind you we lived in a very blue collar part of Chicago SW side. He went to work 7 days a week at 3am. Home around 6pm. He was the millionaire next door. They always said they had no money but we knew they did. He’s finally retired and sold out and spends 6 months at his island home in Greece
I know your pain brother. I feel like in every business all the stars have to perfectly align to be a real success. Most businesses just barely get by. I've started 8 businesses and I'm 42 years old. I feel like I'm just now starting to see substantial success but I've worked my youth away since age 15.
Thanks for sharing. I started a business with money I had saved years ago, as years went by little by little circumstances in the business I was in changed and my sales went down each year until I was no longer able to keep it going. Id be really happy living as you are in Destin (Im in central Florida) but alas here I sit divorced, broke, in a tiny trailer paying lot rent. Such is life, daily working it out and learning to give thanks for little things like youre doing now.
There are old people who have been successful. If I was in the same situation I would bet on my children and help them-- whatever they wanted to do, and then try to take a senior position like giving advice and teach both successes and failures. I would not have the same energy as young therefore I would not take any risk anymore.
You two seem very happy now, esp. since you keep your since of humor trust me I rarely meet anyone nowadays who will laugh at ANYTHING. Back in 07 I saw the future for me so I just said screw it and retired on my 42nd birthday. More than a few people have told me that if I was still working I'd be a millionaire and I quickly tell them "True, but I'd also be dead".
Patrick I watched the movie on Netflix Love, Charlie tonight and what a movie it was ! I'm sure you miss your beloved friend and it was honestly heartbreaking . He worked so hard his entire life and wanted to be the very best and he proved that he was ! I think his downfall begin when he only got the two star ratings for several years . He was too old he believed to reinvent himself at that time. He was such a success and in my perception didn't really enjoy it because he just couldn't let himself . Thank you for referring the movie I really enjoyed it !! ❤️❤️
That stroller story reminds me of a recent experience I had on the Tokyo underground when a lady with a stroller gets on the train and I get up and offer my seat. Me muggins turned my seat over to a lady with two dogs in the stroller,
I'd like to hear more about that lady who wrote the letter. Mostly because I have a hard time believing she wasn't influenced by someone who was working in the restaurant. If she just came up with that all on her own, that is a story that deserves more attention. I'm surprised just based on the few things you said about her, that she could spell so well, and the handwriting itself wasn't great but respectable. It's almost like she didn't write it herself. I mean, how many homeless people pushing around a stroller with a fake baby in it can even spell "bankruptcy".
Patrick.. Please take your blood pressure medicine . I also didn't want to take any meds, but I've tried everything, exercise weight loss, diet. In the end the only thing that worked was losartan, I still don't take the statins however.
Added hydro chlorothizide with my lisinopril BP went down to 129-133 from 160 with just the lisinopril.I also lost 40 lbs counting calories with the lose it app,Why no statins ? i take them for my high cholesterol, i eat healthy red meat only occasionally.
@@E-ticket562 Just eat as much rice beans and potatoes and lettuce that you want, nothing else, and all of those problems will go away (with some assumptions). Any fruit and veggie too.
After you get to 55-60, you want peace. Its too hard to fight to keep things in line. Its just gets old bc you realise what is is important, lies elsewhere. Thats why you hit it hard in your 20s and 30s. Bc then you get tired.
Strip mall location red flag. Bbq is something people can’t eat every day or every week for that matter. It’s “unhealthy”. It’s expensive. It’s more of a treat
A comment for those wonderful people, entrepreneurs. I took classes of lathe and milling at my university. One day I put my safety glasses, instinctively. Was nothing about anything. A chip hit my eye and cracked the glasses. Accidents come when an experienced person lowers a safety guard. This is what happened here
The cost is outrageous and if you are not spend crazy, eating at home just makes sense. It's been about two years since I went to get a pizza, medium, no half different allowed, $30. Totally stopped buying take out and going out.
You are not a loser ever. Covid happened and destroyed a lot of restaurants. You couldn't have forseen that. That tsunami could not have been predicted.
Invest $1m in dividend producing etfs. Mostly in T bill etfs like SGOV…for extreme safety. $200000 of it in monthly payers like MSTY or CONY….or weekly payers like YMAX or RDTE. Could get to an average of 10% return or $100000 a year income. No work to it except monitoring it, reinvesting decisions. No long hours over a hot stove, no customer hassles, no employees, no supply problems etc.
A Govt wanted to rid the people of rats. They offered 1 dollar for every rat tail. People began breeding rats... Another major factor of many restaurants failing is the inorganic economy. When Govt puts their hands on the economy, many businesses that would have succeeded, fail.
To all you "naysayers" - "if 9 out of 10 restaurants fail" - heck Thomas Edison would have never invented the light-bulb. C'mon folks!! Each time you get back up and try again, you know this time how not to do it... Practise makes perfect!! Good for youguysfor never giving up. Xx
The way I see it. That last restaurant failed for a reason. God wants you somewhere else doing something else. In fact it may be what you’re doing now on UA-cam. Stay in prayer and let God take the lead. In Jesus name Amen ❤🙏🏻
Patrick and Mary….. you are NOT broke. You have each other and god willing, your health. You are wealthier today than you’ve ever been. You said it earlier, it’s just stuff! ❤❤❤❤❤
They are far from broke ,looking at their accommodation ,clothes and Car and living in a very affluent part of the US ..

Patrick.. Please take your blood pressure medicine . I also didn't want to take any meds, but I've tried everything, exercise weight loss, diet. In the end the only thing that worked was losartan, I still don't take the statins however.
Added hydro chlorothizide with my lisinopril BP went down to 129-133 from 160 with just the lisinopril.I also lost 40 lbs counting calories with the lose it app,Why no statins ? i take them for my high cholesterol, i eat healthy red meat only occasionally.
@@E-ticket562 Just eat as much rice beans and potatoes and lettuce that you want, nothing else, and all of those problems will go away (with some assumptions). Any fruit and veggie too.
After you get to 55-60, you want peace. Its too hard to fight to keep things in line. Its just gets old bc you realise what is is important, lies elsewhere. Thats why you hit it hard in your 20s and 30s. Bc then you get tired.
Strip mall location red flag. Bbq is something people can’t eat every day or every week for that matter. It’s “unhealthy”. It’s expensive. It’s more of a treat
It's funny how greed can make you rich but it can also make you broke.
A comment for those wonderful people, entrepreneurs. I took classes of lathe and milling at my university. One day I put my safety glasses, instinctively. Was nothing about anything. A chip hit my eye and cracked the glasses. Accidents come when an experienced person lowers a safety guard. This is what happened here
why do I have a feeling these people still have money?
So genuine!!
The cost is outrageous and if you are not spend crazy, eating at home just makes sense. It's been about two years since I went to get a pizza, medium, no half different allowed, $30. Totally stopped buying take out and going out.
Love you both! Patrick and Mary!!
Every time I watch your guys videos, I think positive about life , you both are symbolic of kindness, and good human beings 🎉 thank you for sharing
Heart issues, please go to Mayo Clinic Rochester Minn., saved my life.
Thanks!
More power to you for telling this story! You seem like you are a good guy. Keep moving forward!
You are not a loser ever. Covid happened and destroyed a lot of restaurants. You couldn't have forseen that. That tsunami could not have been predicted.
Beautiful people ❤ ,god bless your family. I own a small landscape buisness i run alone. I lose alot of sleep and im 60.
Invest $1m in dividend producing etfs. Mostly in T bill etfs like SGOV…for extreme safety. $200000 of it in monthly payers like MSTY or CONY….or weekly payers like YMAX or RDTE. Could get to an average of 10% return or $100000 a year income. No work to it except monitoring it, reinvesting decisions. No long hours over a hot stove, no customer hassles, no employees, no supply problems etc.
Interesting lives you both have and continue to live. That's the prize. So you aimed for the stars and landed in Destin. Huh, not bad.
A Govt wanted to rid the people of rats. They offered 1 dollar for every rat tail. People began breeding rats...
Another major factor of many restaurants failing is the inorganic economy. When Govt puts their hands on the economy, many businesses that would have succeeded, fail.
NINE OUT OF TEN RESTAURANTS FAIL WITHIN TEN YEARS.....STOCK OPTIONS ARE ABOUT THE SAME RISK.
Happy is a feeling, Joy is a condition of the heart. #GETJESUS
you guys make a great couple
To all you "naysayers" - "if 9 out of 10 restaurants fail" - heck Thomas Edison would have never invented the light-bulb. C'mon folks!! Each time you get back up and try again, you know this time how not to do it... Practise makes perfect!! Good for youguysfor never giving up. Xx
You should do consulting for aspiring restaurateurs so they don’t step in potholes
4:50 in and the only thing we know is it is chippers , he went wide on the weave
Just let it go , everything's going to be ok.
These people definitely don’t give off a poor vibe but what do I know
You going to be alright
The way I see it. That last restaurant failed for a reason. God wants you somewhere else doing something else. In fact it may be what you’re doing now on UA-cam. Stay in prayer and let God take the lead. In Jesus name Amen ❤🙏🏻
