4. My guest today is Pat Flynn, host of The Smart Passive Podcast and the Ask Pat Podcast, two shows which combined have totaled 60 million downloads and have won multiple awards. Based in San Diego California, Pat owns several successful online businesses, is a professional blogger, keynote speaker, and is also a Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author. His podcast shows have been featured in the New York Times and Forbes. Pat’s mission is to ‘elevate entrepreneurs to within reach of their dreams.’

Pat joins me today to share his experience when his envisioned future was taken away from him in the economic crash of 2008. He shares the solace he found from his favourite childhood movie BACK TO THE FUTURE and how this sparked his ideas on how our present actions determine our future stories. We discuss the catalyst moments that can give you the self-belief to go out and build your own business and create your own future. We also discuss the internal struggles Pat had to allow himself to continue on the new path of monetizing his guidance and advice, and the doubting questions he asked of his own abilities at the beginning of his journey that ultimately proved unfounded when his business soared.

Most importantly… I get Pat’s recommendation for another must-watch movie for online entrepreneurs.

“The amateur changes their act. The professional changes their audience” – Jason Linett

“There’s another human who’s out there on a run or on a walk or in their commute listening to the podcast. An actual human being who may, in fact, be there, who might need you right now about this thing that you're doing” – Pat Flynn

“This idea of setting up the business in a way that was not just there to make money, but also was there as sort of designed in a way to accommodate to the lifestyle that I wanted” – Pat Flynn

“I want people to earn more money doing something that they didn’t know they could do” – Pat Flynn

“I’m just the guy in the forest of online business with the machete upfront. I’m just kind of whacking the weeds for everybody so that I can make the path hopefully a little bit easier for you” – Pat Flynn

“When you can bring it down to earth and relate more to who it is you’re speaking to, it just makes that much more of an impact” – Pat Flynn

“What I love about my audience is they come because they feel like they’re a part of something. They come because they feel like they belong” Pat Flynn

“We’re in this together and I’m not just here to teach you. I’m also here to learn from you too” – Pat Flynn
