Who We Are

GUIDE was founded by Patrick Sandone after challenges and chronic stress from the creation and sale of his startup, Net Driven, caused him to experience depression, burnout, and a loss of purpose. Patrick went on a five-year self-discovery and wellness journey where he learned  how to live his best life by transforming his mindset, building emotional intelligence, discovering his purpose, and achieving self-mastery. Patrick realized that the obstacles that  prevented him from seeking help earlier (such as the fear of appearing weak and poor prior experiences with wellness) were very similar to the challenges faced by First Responders  and Veterans when engaging with wellness support. Patrick set out to help others like himself by lowering the barriers to entry and making wellness more accessible.
