Patricia “Pitbull” Mayo
Patricia “Pitbull” Mayo joins Rush on The Rush Outrospective, the flagship show about purpose, healing, and finding the way back to yourself. She has spent much of her life challenging expectations and pursuing her own direction. Raised in a military family, she reflects on a rebellious youth, the remarkable influence of her mother, and how an unexpected introduction to volunteering helped shape the woman she became.
It is an engaging, often humorous, and deeply personal conversation about the choices that shape us and the people who stand beside us. Patricia talks about her work with the Texas Battlin’ Betties, the 99% Radio Network, charitable fundraising, and helping women embrace their individuality. She also honors the late Mark “Tattoo Mark” Shenefield, founder of the Tattoo Mark Foundation and one of her closest friends, a man who devoted himself to bringing comfort to hospitalized children, and the legacy she hopes to carry forward.
