A letter from Mary Elaine and Brett Baker:

Dear friend,

Our hope is that you are on this page not just to learn more about Patriot Advantage, but also and more importantly about who we are as individuals. We’re all familiar with the reality of modern life where the technology that makes us so interconnected also makes us feel isolated. Artificial intelligence is enabling machines to perform more and more complicated tasks, and consumers want goods and services at the speed of lightning, conveniences that come at a higher price than what’s on the tag.

We intended from the inception of PA to make sure we never let keeping up with this fast-spinning world take precedence over the importance of establishing close and valued relationships. To put it simply, we believe that values and people matter. We spend an average of a third of our lifetime working. Arguably, entrepreneurs spend more than that. Considering so much of our life is spent at work, we believe that time spent making personal connections will drive success – and give it meaning – every bit as much as getting the job done efficiently and well.

What we have achieved at PA, and strive to maintain, is an experience that combines the convenience of remote work with a culture that fosters empathy, respect, and a true investment in each other. Emotional intelligence, a true servant’s heart, and a genuine desire to see others succeed in life is something AI will never be able to touch.

What keeps us motivated each day are the stories of the relationships being built – stories of the hard work, skill, and attention that our team members give selflessly to make each entrepreneur feel cared for and valued in our hands, and stories of military spouses supporting their families and each other while investing in their entrepreneurs’ success.

We think matching people who know what it means to serve with people who know what it means to create doesn’t just make for better business, it makes for better lives. Will you join us on our journey? Our hope is that you will.

In service,

Mary Elaine and Brett
