 Becoming Patrick Bateman: Inside the Mind of an American Psycho Impersonator.

What does it take to step into the shoes of one of cinema’s most chilling and calculated characters?

In this episode of The Be Better Podcast, Nate sits down with a professional Patrick Bateman impersonator from American Psycho to unpack the mindset, discipline, and psychological layers behind the iconic role. From mastering Bateman’s mannerisms and routines to understanding the deeper themes of identity, success, and obsession, this conversation goes way beyond surface-level impressions.

We dive into:

  •  The process of embodying a character built on perfection and control 
  •  The fine line between performance and reality 
  •  What Bateman represents in today’s culture 
  •  Lessons (and warnings) about ambition, image, and self-awareness 

This episode is equal parts entertaining and thought-provoking—giving you a look at a character that’s often misunderstood, and what we can actually learn from him when it comes to becoming better… without losing ourselves in the process.
