Patrice Register is my favorite kind of person: one whose life is all about moving forward on every front, no matter the external obstacles, while being a force for positive growth along the way. Growing up Black in Georgia is one part of Patrice’s story. Another part is her big-hearted family. And, are you ready for this? Patrice was a police officer in Georgia. A Black. Woman. Police officer.  This woman is sooo solid. And NOT to be put into a ‘box’ of simple and predictable labels. After serving as a police officer, Patrice went on to earn an Executive MBA from Colorado State Tech University. She uses that education in a wide variety of ways: •as a business coach, •as a member of community organizations, •as a mentor to start-up companies, as an *advocate for women and girls, and as a *life-skills teacher for ‘at-risk students… and there’s more, which you’ll learn about in our conversation.  I’m not the only one who appreciates and respects Patrice. She was nominated for the 2012 Small Business Influencer Award and recognized as 2014’s 50 Most Influential Women in Arizona Business. In 2016 she was a nominee for Arizona State University’s Spirit of Enterprise Award. Also in 2016 she was a nominee for BBB Torch Award for Ethics. Bottom line, Patrice is wise, generous and full of positive energy.   I LOVED this conversation, and I feel permanently enriched by connecting with this beautiful human being.
