Episode notes
Swap Consumption For Just-In-Time Learning
- Information is no longer scarce; consumption often masks procrastination and paralysis.
- Pat Flynn argues for "just-in-time" learning and action-oriented experimentation instead of hoarding knowledge.
Mystery Boxes Taught Retention Lessons
- Pat tested mystery-box videos and found showing himself in long intros dropped retention.
- He started videos with the box opening and later discovered binders produced flat retention and higher views.
Allocate 20% Time To Experiment
- Do reserve an experimentation budget of about 20% of your time for new ideas and creative play.
- Use your 80/20 split to protect commitments while giving yourself permission to iterate and discover new products or formats.
