“If it makes me curious, then maybe it’ll make someone else curious too.” — Patrick Hicks
What started as a 30-day content challenge became a storytelling movement powered by rock, raw honesty, and curiosity.
In this episode of The Storytelling Lab, Rain Bennett speaks with Patrick Hicks, creator of a viral TikTok account (@patrickhicksmusic), where he tells the stories behind the songs that shaped our lives. With over half a million followers and a growing book project, Patrick has built a creator career that feels authentic, soulful, and sustainable.
They discuss how Patrick’s background in marketing, music, and punk DIY culture gave him the tools to grow his audience without losing his voice. You’ll hear how he balances content creation with a full-time job, why he never polishes his videos, and how he structures stories to connect emotionally—without chasing algorithms.
This episode is a masterclass in following your curiosity, honoring your influences, and building something meaningful on your own terms.
