We had the good fortune of connecting with Patrick McClean and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patrick, how do you define success?
Defying success for me means working hard, never giving up, staying consistent complete every challenge coming your way prepared for the ups and downs until you make it

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a runway fashion model been modeling for 2 years so far and it been great I’m proud that I get a chance to show my talent to business people around the world. I get to where I want to be by working hard staying consistent keeping my head up thru the process it wasn’t easy at first because I thought it going to be a piece a cake until I realized that it wasn’t had to learn from my mistakes and listen, take notes and do classes, I want the world to know that my brand and story is to inspire people that there’s something out there where you could become something in life

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting the area I would take them to houston mural, nasa center, Galveston, kemah boardwalk shop at the galleria mall to eat it would spots like Christian tailgate, thirteen sams boat and etc

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There’s a few people and groups who I want to give my shoutout to that are photographer Juan Mendez and Caribfashtexas
