EP. 93 – You Don’t Need to Earn Rest w/ Kris Clinton | The Patty Show

What does it take to reinvent yourself while staying true to who you are?

This week on The Patty Show, I'm joined by my mentor, friend, and fellow performance enthusiast, Kris Clinton.

Kris has built an incredible life through discipline, adaptability, and service. A former professional basketball player who competed throughout Europe and South America, Kris later transitioned into the worlds of personal training, acting, modeling, and entrepreneurship. Today, he coaches elite athletes, mentors fitness professionals, books national commercial campaigns, and continues to pursue excellence while raising his daughter.

But this conversation isn't about collecting accomplishments.

It's about the mindset required to keep evolving.

We discuss Kris's journey from professional basketball to Hollywood, the lessons he's learned as a father, how he built Rare Fitness, the importance of patience in both fitness and acting, and why rest isn't something you earn—it's something every high performer needs.

As someone who helped guide me during my early years as a personal trainer, Kris has had a tremendous impact on my own journey. This episode felt less like an interview and more like two brothers sharing lessons learned through years of chasing big dreams, overcoming setbacks, and continuing to show up.

In this episode, we explore:

• Professional basketball and life overseas • Transitioning into acting, modeling, and commercial work • Coaching elite athletes and building Rare Fitness • Fatherhood, mentorship, and personal growth • Recovery, rest, and long-term performance • Balancing ambition with well-being • Reinvention, resilience, and purpose

Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, parent, creative, fitness enthusiast, or someone navigating a new chapter in life, Kris shares wisdom that can help you stay grounded while pursuing your goals.
