    How to Build a Better Brain, Brand & Business! – Patrick Schwarzenegger

    In this special Asprey Archive episode of The Human Upgrade you’ll get tips about how to lead a brain healthy lifestyle and how to keep perspective along your own entrepreneurial journey. 

    Activism, acting and entrepreneurship are wired into Patrick Schwarzenegger’s DNA. In this episode from 2022, he thoughtfully balances each passion through his work as an Alzheimer’s advocate, actor, investor and food founder. 

    Patrick’s known for his trend-spotting abilities in the better-for-you food and beverage industry. He got into the fast-casual Blaze Pizza franchise when he was just a teen. That experience solidified his interest in health and wellness: “invest solely into entrepreneurs and companies that were providing Americans with the healthier alternative." He’s now an active investor and advisor to numerous brands and helps founders scale their emerging businesses to the next level.

    His latest venture encourages brain health at every age and supports programs, research, and lifestyle choices designed to make your brain work better. Patrick co-founded a brain health food brand called “MOSH” with his mom, Maria Shriver, designed specifically to up-level your brain function.

    A journey with its share of mishaps, too: “We had so many things that went wrong and that was kind of the fun part was learning about that and finding ways to fix it. That's wanting to be an entrepreneur or that's embarking on that journey, you're going to have speed bumps. You can do as much homework as you can and want and try to perfect everything before you launch, but things come out of left field every single day.”

    He’s on the show to discuss entrepreneurship, how to invest, how to build brands, how to hire the right people and what’s possible for high-functioning brains at every age.
