The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth
Where to Find Pat and His Work
Pat shares resources: Smart Passive Income, his books, and the Deep Pocket Monster YouTube channel.
For any entrepreneur, the most valuable currency to buy back is time. Yet many remain trapped, losing time with family and struggling to break free from the business.
But today's guest has become the embodiment of building freedom through creativity, community, and leveraging advisory opportunities.
Pat Flynn is the creator of Smart Passive Income, bestselling author of Will It Fly? and Superfans, advisor to top tech companies such as Teachable, Circle, SquadCast, and Riverside, and one of the most respected voices in online business.
Since being laid off as an architect in 2008, he’s built multiple 7-figure businesses, generating millions of podcast downloads, and launching a wildly successful Pokémon YouTube channel with almost 2 million subscribers.
In this episode, Pat shares how he identifies winning opportunities, his Airport Test framework for evaluating business ideas, how advisory shares became one of his highest-ROI wealth builders, and how he’s intentionally designed his life so that work supports family—not the other way around.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1.) How Pat turned a layoff into a launchpad for building multiple passive income businesses.
2.) A simple framework to evaluate business ideas before investing time or money.
3.) Why advisory shares became one of his highest-leverage income streams—and the criteria he uses to decide which companies to work with.
