S3 Ep42: Let's Talk About Brand Season Finale with Pat Flynn

It’s the season 3 finale of Let’s Talk About Brand, we have a very special guest, Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income. Pat is a perfect example, not only of a strong personal brand but also as someone who has parlayed that personal brand into a company, SPI Media. Then entered a new endeavor with his building of a community all around Pokémon of all things seemingly not connected to his previous work, but as you'll hear, there are connections indeed. I am really excited for today's show. You're going to hear a lot about Pat's own journey and a lot of really actionable lessons that you can use as well in building your brand, building your business, and building your community.

Pat Flynn is a successful entrepreneur. He believes that passive income is achievable through upfront work and strategic automation. Pat has a diverse portfolio of passive income sources, including books, online courses, workshops, and YouTube channel revenue.
