In the corporate world, Patrick Burke is known as the dynamic CEO of Catapult Solutions Group and Catapult Healthcare—a leader with a sharp eye for innovation, a relentless drive, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. But behind the boardroom brilliance lies a far more profound narrative: one of survival, transformation, and an inspiring mission to uplift others through resilience, love, and radical self-ownership.
Burke’s journey took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and given only three years to live. At the time, he was not just a CEO, but also a founder navigating the uncertain tides of a growing startup. It was a moment that could have broken anyone. Instead, it awakened a new purpose in him—one that would lead him beyond spreadsheets and sales figures into the deeper work of healing, mindset coaching, and empowering others through their own storms.
“You can control your life,” Patrick says. “It starts with taking ownership and responsibility for your actions and your mindset. We have to believe in the power and importance of positive thinking.”
Despite being physically fit, Patrick realized that mental fitness was just as crucial—if not more so—when it came to overcoming life’s biggest battles. With the support and expertise of his doctors at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Patrick leaned into the power of mindset and the vital role that emotional wellness, stress management, and mental clarity play in physical health.
Now cancer-free and more inspired than ever, Patrick is setting out on a motivational speaking tour designed to shift lives, minds, and hearts. He shares his story not to spotlight his own success, but to ignite the same inner strength and transformational thinking in others.
“I learned that stress can affect anyone’s health, and it’s vital to ask for help when you need it,” he shares. “Positivity isn’t a buzzword—it’s medicine.”
Patrick’s message goes far beyond cancer. His talks focus on balancing physical and mental health, taking back control from negative thought patterns, and embracing the often-overlooked transformative power of love—in leadership, relationships, and daily life.
“Love is the answer to many of life’s challenges,” Patrick explains. “We need to normalize loving our families, our teams, our friends. And more than anything, we need to stop being embarrassed about expressing that.”
In a culture where vulnerability can be seen as weakness and the word “love” is often met with awkward chuckles or eye-rolls, Patrick is breaking down the barriers of emotional expression. He confronts head-on the social conditioning that has taught us to shrink from sincerity and openness—and instead encourages people to lead with love, both in business and in life.
His upcoming tour isn’t just a platform—it’s a movement. A movement toward healing, connection, and courage, reminding people that even when life knocks them down, they hold the pen to their own story.
Through the lens of his personal survival and corporate success, Patrick Burke is lighting a path forward for others who may feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone in their struggles. His voice is powerful, not just because of what he has overcome—but because of what he is choosing to do with it.
