Listener Reviews

Just found this! It’s a keeper! Thank you!

I’m loving the Ask Liz episodes and also Pat and Liz together. Fun, real, helpful info.

I’ve been a part of Liz’s world for a long time and I just have to say I am absolutely loving these ask Liz episodes. I actually wasn’t even a listener of this podcast until she became the cohost so yay!! Thanks for the great content!!

I used to listen to this podcast years ago and loved it! Found my way back from the episode about niching down with Ask Liz, it was super helpful to listen to as an online business owner who wrestles with this topic often. Grateful for the wisdom of Pat & Liz and the entire team behind the SPI Podcast! Thanks for publishing such incredible content for online business owners :)

I’ve been listening to Pat on and off since 2012. Without fail every episode always stimulates new ideas, inspiration, and curiousity, plus of course, helpful action steps to grow my online business. And it’s always a relief to hear from someone who is so ethical and kind.

This conversation cuts through the surface-level advice and gets to what actually drives momentum. Growth follows clarity, relevance, and the ability to create value people feel, not just consume. Brock and Pat bring a grounded, strategic lens that helps listeners stop chasing the algorithm and start building real signal. A sharp, practical listen.

This episode draws a clean line between those who win and those who quietly opt out, not through hype, but through commitment. You made it clear that the outcome in 2026 is decided long before results show up, in the daily willingness to stay in the game when momentum is missing. Direct, grounding, and deeply encouraging. Exactly the reminder serious builders need right now.

What landed for me here is that the highest-converting challenges don’t feel like marketing at all, they feel like momentum. When the structure respects people’s time, psychology, and desire for real progress, trust is built naturally… and conversion simply follows. That’s thoughtful leadership in action.

What I appreciated most was how you stripped the overwhelm out of social growth by centering everything on one core platform. It’s a simple idea, but the clarity and reasoning you brought to it made the whole strategy feel immediately actionable.

I started listening to Pat Flynn many years ago while doing research on how to start a Podcast. I can't actually tell you how many Podcasts of Pat’s that I have listened to but, it's quite a few and I have even went and searched out some of his earlier content and its well worth the effort. Listen to Episode Dated: March 18, 2025 This Podcast is Full of Information to Start your Online Business, Right‼️ I have learned a lot from Pat and his guests, about Podcasts and so much more. He is the real deal and speaks with Honesty & is not a #SnakeOilSalesman. Pat Flynn just honestly wants to help others. If you want to get honest education about Podcasts and the “Creator Community” than Pat Flynn, from #SPI “Smart Passive Income” is honestly where your starting point should be in my humble opinion❗️ ~ Michael M.

What stood out in this episode was how clearly you showed the difference between an audience that watches and an audience that converts. The way you linked clarity of identity, aligned offers, and genuine value creation made the whole process feel intentional rather than tactical. Insightful and energising to listen to.

You’ve delivered a brilliant shift in thinking — the message that superfans aren’t a by-product of scale, but the foundation of it. When you build experiences that convert customers into evangelists, you don’t just grow; you anchor growth. Thank you for making fandom feel like strategy and strategy feel like soul.

This episode hits a vital chord—retirement isn’t retirement from purpose, it’s a release into new alignment. The real shift isn’t about escaping work; it’s about stepping toward your highest expression. Thank you for reframing not just longevity, but legacy.

Thank you for shining a light on this idea of “lifestyle investing.” What resonated for me was the reframing that your portfolio isn’t just external assets, it’s your life, your values, your energy. When Justin spoke of investing in experiences, alignment, and purpose, that’s the kind of capital that compounds beyond money.

The episode on sponsorships and brand deals really stood out because it went beyond numbers and contracts. It showed how authentic partnerships are built on alignment, trust, and shared vision. That’s what makes this podcast so special: every episode is a reminder that business can be both strategic and deeply human, where growth and connection move hand in hand. Great job Pat!

Pat is a great host and creates some really informative content!!

Words come to mind: Empowering! Inspiring! Value added! EnWRAPPed Momentum, Thank you Pat, for your empowering , and effective content. I was in a car accident in 2024 and wasn't sure what was my next move , I was considering a podcast and your podcast and YT channel inspired me. Thank you for all that you do it has helped me so much.

I started listening to Pat Flynn about (2) years ago while doing research on how to start a Podcast.

If you’re an entrepreneur (especially a new one like me), do yourself a favor and start listening to Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn. Seriously, this podcast has been like having a mentor in my ear, guiding me through all the ups and downs of building a business. Pat is the real deal—he’s been in the game for years, and he’s not just talking theory. He shares what’s actually worked for him (and what hasn’t), and his interviews with other experts are packed with golden nuggets of wisdom. Whether it’s content marketing, email lists, passive income, or just staying sane as an entrepreneur, he covers it all. I totally get why he’s such an authority in this space. Every episode leaves me feeling fired up and ready to take action. If you’re looking for legit advice without the fluff, hit play on this podcast. You won’t regret it!

Thank you for your transparency about passive income on episode 838 “The Problem with Passive Income”. Entrepreneurship is an iterative process that is not for the faint at heart. Success is by product of each business owner’s CONSISTENT iterative process of serving their clients for however long it takes.🤗

Pat is one of the most genuinely caring and giving people I’ve come across in the business improvement space. I’ve been listening to his podcast for many years now and always get something out of each episode. He’s the real deal and his books and courses have helped me tremendously. He’s also a great host and interviewer. There are some folks in the same entrepreneur space that…well, they don’t always have your best at heart, but Pat does. Would love to meet him someday to shake his hand and say “thank you”.

Solid episode, per usual. Solid podcast.

I’ve been binging SPI and have already learnt so much about starting an online business. You get the feeling Pat is a good guy just spreading the word of how we can all be successful in online business. Thanks Pat

Love Pat Flynn’s 100% relatable style. Have been listening for years, and fell off for a bit, but today’s episode with Shane and Jocelyn from Flipped Lifestyle got me back into SPI. They are fun, approachable, and have a real MISSION centered business. Great story on this episode, and love how they are real friends.
