Patrick Ewers

Patrick Ewers is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mindmaven, an executive coaching firm based in San Francisco, California. He established Mindmaven in August 2008 after a transformative experience traveling the world with his wife, which included a significant period spent at a Buddhist monastery. This experience inspired him to focus on helping leaders enhance their relationships and overall effectiveness in their professional lives.12

At Mindmaven, Ewers emphasizes the importance of three key "superpowers" for executives: Leverage, Intent, and Fellowship. These principles are designed to help leaders free up significant time—over 12 hours a week—by optimizing their collaboration with executive assistants and focusing on high-impact activities. His coaching philosophy centers on the belief that successful leadership is rooted in meaningful relationships, which are crucial for achieving personal and organizational goals.134

Ewers has worked with numerous leaders from notable companies, including unicorn startups like Reddit, Thumbtack, and Roblox, as well as prominent venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. His approach has been recognized for its effectiveness across various stages of business development, from early startups to those preparing for IPOs.24

In addition to his coaching work, Patrick Ewers is also an author, having written the book "Radical Delegation," which outlines practical strategies for leaders to delegate effectively and maximize their productivity.56
