In the 2008 market crash, Pat Flynn was laid off from his job as an architect. He had just graduated college, was about to get married, and it was his dream career. Like many people in that situation, he turned to entrepreneurship. What he didn’t know at the time, is that it would change his life forever.
Now, he’s been running Smart Passive Income for almost 15 years (longer than his kids have been alive!) and he’s built several other successful online businesses, impacted millions of people around the world, and spends a lot of time with his family, too.
In this episode, we talk about how to stay relevant and live a fulfilling life as an entrepreneur.
