WELCOME TO THE SAUCE

Hey there,

I'm Patrick Frank, and if you're reading this, you’ve decided to kick shit up a notch. First off, +1 to you  🫵 for signing up for The Secret Sauce. I'm not going to pretend I've got a massive audience hanging on my every word but we all gotta start somewhere right? 

This is your welcome to show email where I give you the ingredients for what is making up the menu of The Secret Sauce Newsletter. 

How often are you getting sauced? Me + Your Inbox = Twice a month… Or until I get canceled. 🤷

What to expect? Expect a mixed blend of bold insights, unfiltered opinions, and a whole bunch of the interesting shit I have discovered along my startup and life journey. 

What's the point? Helping you fail less times than I did and hopefully a more interesting person. But let’s be honest, half of you are here just for the food/wine recs. 💁‍♂️

Why did I start this?

After too many of the same conversations and learning more about how to outsource my life, I figured this was the best way to kill two birds with one stone. 

• Do you know of any tool or thing I can use for ______. (Insert your beginner level problem here) 

• "I'm thinking about starting my own company, can you help me out?!"

• “I’m stuck, how the F*ck did you do this? (And no not that kind of stuck…Get your mind out of the gutter. )🚩🚩

• "Where's the best place to eat around here? / “I’m going on a date, where should I go?”

So, what's on the menu? 

The Appetizer

A fun opener to get things rolling. Could be something witty, thought-provoking, or just what's on my mind that day. (Short & Sweet..Promise.)

Pat's Snapple Cap

An interesting stat, quote, or fun fact to pique your curiosity.

The Main Course (Revolving & Ever-changing) 

Story Time: Case studies from examples of other founders, businesses and startups, and personal insights from my journey I have found that I can't keep to myself. 

PFrank’s Fuck-Ups: (aka:Don't Be Me) I'll share some of my own missteps—so you can sidestep the pitfalls I've stumbled into. Trust me, there's plenty to learn from my mistakes.

Cool People Doing Cool Things: Spotlighting individuals or companies doing something beyond cool. I definitely don’t have all the answers so I want to bring in voices of those that do and hopefully connect you all with some inspiring, badass individuals and what they are working on.

The Sauce

Patty's Picks: (Why you’re really here) 

Don’t ask me for the list, I am not going to give it to you. Instead you can tune in and read the definitive review where I one highlight a restaurant, bar, bottle of wine and one business or tool that I am using or have used in the past to solve life and business issues. 

Domain Daddy: (IYKYK) 

TLDR - I own a wild list of domains, and what has been my secret dinner party table topic, now comes paired up with their own business ideas. Who knows….you might just find your next big venture.

Now, before we really get cooking, I've got a small favor:
