Guest:

Patrick Fortner is the voice behind Red Mike Messages, a series of straightforward leadership reflections shaped by years in public service and a deep belief in servant leadership. He’s spent most of his career helping others tell their stories—starting as a newspaper reporter and radio DJ before moving into state government, where he’s written speeches, led communications teams, and served in executive roles. Outside of work, he’s coached youth sports, mentored scouts, and served on the board of an educational nonprofit for underserved students. Patrick lives in Austin with his wife, and they’re recent empty-nesters with two grown offspring. At heart, he’s just trying to pay forward the lessons he’s learned—one message at a time.

Guest:

Dr. Nadia Bening is a board-certified psychiatrist and the owner of Texas Hill Country TMS. She specializes in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity. Research indicates that TMS can activate underactive neural pathways associated with depression, increase dopamine levels, improve blood flow, and enhance neuroplasticity and overall brain health. Primarily used to treat depression and anxiety, TMS provides an alternative to conventional psychiatric medications without many of the common side effects. More information about TMS and Dr. Bening’s practice can be found at Hill Country TMS.
