I’m talking with Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income on the podcast today. Pat is a father, husband, and the author of the best-selling book Will It Fly. He’s probably most known for his top-rated podcast, Smart passive Income Podcast and as the Crash Test Dummy of Online Marketing. Pat has been my personal mentor as I started the Epic Success podcast, and I’m honored to have him on the show. He is an amazing teacher, and I know you will enjoy today’s episode.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear:
- How a major setback in his career during the 2008 recession brought him to the world of online business
- What that first year was like as he ventured out into the world of online sales, ebooks, and podcasting
- Why he started podcasting and how he stayed motivated and fought through his fears around visibility as a podcaster
- Why the process of validating ideas is so important to creating a successful online business
- Pat’s advice to those entering a niche that has heavy competition
- Pat’s tips on live video and his personal take on Facebook messenger bots
- A personal look at how Pat balances marriage, family, and entrepreneurship as well as how he instills an entrepreneur’s mindset in his own kids
- Pat’s moving story of learning how his podcast saved a listener’s life without even knowing it – right at the moment he was considering giving up his podcasting show
