We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Pat Singkanipa a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Pat thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

How it started: I simply want to share food photos.
How it’s going: I realized I myself wanted to see detailed reviews of each restaurant and event before I decided to spend my money to buy the experience, and I realized many of my followers did too. My mission for my blog right now (and will continue to be) is to give as much authentic information in my videos as possible, and in a good vibes. We unknowingly spend hours on social media everyday and it shapes our mood and thoughts. So, I hope that my content would be informative and at least increase the positivity in my viewers’ lives. :)

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I started as a food blogger who post photos and videos about food and drinks, along with my honest reviews. Most restaurants are “local gems” that the locals love as well as “new restaurants/promotions” that are worth grabbing before the deals are gone. I’m living in LA and drives around SoCal (mostly OC) and I hope to be sharing more and more of what are happening around here, to the locals and the rest of the world.

I’m passionate in sharing this information to my followers and hope that it will enhance their lives in multiple ways, for example, help them find good recommendations, help them save money and, ultimately, make them happier. With this, I tend to make my videos “good vibes” style, meaning I added some coziness, cuteness, or something wholesome, because I feel that watching these elements in a video makes me feel happiler.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

I love reading self-help books! I started with works of the more business-side mentors like Tony Robbins or Bob Proctor. These materials motivated me to get out of my comfort zone and do things I am eager to achieve in my life. But somehow, something was missing as I strived for my career and personal life, trying to meet every expectations of myself and people around me. I was not happy as I wanted to be and there needs to be a reason.

A few stumbles here and there, I found self-help books that are more spiritual; like The Greatest Secret by Rhonda Bryne and meditation audios by Deepak Chopra. These materials answered my questions about the remaining happiness that I felt was missing. I’m now trying to combine the worldly living and the spiritual living into my everyday life. I hope to share the glimse of this in my content after I can fully live it.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

Being a creative simply allows me to be creative, and I believe this is what every human is born to be. Some people are creative in business, some are creative in art, some are creative in science and the list goes on. It would be a regret if we simply suppress our innate creativity. I have a full time duty I attend to, and I believe most of us do. However, having a creative “hat” that I wear, I can exercise the other part of my brain that my job doesn’t allow me to, and I am very happy and grateful for this freedom.
