Listener Reviews

Pat has been a huge influence on my business
I can't believe I waited this long to write this review. I started listening to SPI in late 2014 and was immediately hooked. I listened to nearly every show he had produced over the next six months as I was figuring out how to get to the next level in my business. I had just left my career to pursue speaking professionally and I learned SO MUCH about online businesses and business in general from listening to Pat and his guests. At some point, I realized I needed to practice some of that learning and not just keep taking it all in. As Jason Van Orden has said, "There's a difference between 'Just in Time' learning and 'Just in Case' learning" and I was doing too much of the latter. So I committed to launching my own podcast show and a year later did just that. Meanwhile, my first son was born and I kept thinking about how Pat managed to grow his business while being their for his kids. I became a work-at-home dad and believed I could manage everything because Pat had shown it was possible. Kiddo two was born seven months ago and my podcast just passed two years (100 episodes)! Whenever I'm trying to figure something out for my business I search the topic and "Pat Flynn" because I know that will lead me to great content - "Just in Time." Thanks for everthing Pat!

It Took A Year
I've been listening to this podcast for over a year now. I feel like with the content given and how its often revisted from time to time with updates from past entrepreneurs who were interviewed, it grounds the over story and creates a sense of realism in the online business space. Found my way to Pat through a lot of makemoneyonline hype, lots of false prophets if you will who may preach the same message of online success but you just know there's something off with what their offering. It took over a year to constantly learn and to have my entrepreneurial mind mature enough to finally see through it all. I appreciate this podcast because of its consistency, transparency, and overall authentic message of how to actually take steps to create a better life for yourself. The messenger's job is often difficult. They share knowing that not 100% of what they know and see may be initially relayed to their audience in full. Time, patience, rediscovery, its the burden to bare a message of truth all the while relentlessly questioning and testing that truth. The greatest work done in the service of others is to bare that burden and stay truthful the message. Thanks for continuing to bare that burden Pat along with all the perks you've given throughout this past year. You can return to the future now :)
Awesome podcast with tons of gold nuggets
I learned so much since stumbling to spi. Every episode is inspiring and there isn’t a second of down time
CEO Amy Throw Group
Since being introcuded to the SPI podcast in May of 2018, I have binge listened to about 75 Episodes and also discovered many of Pat's other amazing resources. I have immense respect for Pat's knowledge, wisdom and the way he does business. He is truly focused on serving his audience and helping us make more money, save more time and help more people. I learn something applicable every podcast, am always inspired and feel resourced to try new things with my business. SPI and Ask Pat are 2 of the 7 podcasts that I listen to regularly. Thanks Pat for who you are, what you do and how you show up with integrity and a servant leadership approach. Amy
Informative and down to earth
I get valuable takeaways from every single episode. Thank you Pat for not only sharing such awesome content, but also sharing your down to earth vibe. I love how appreciative you are and how much you value your audience!
Not only for entrepreneurs
I am currently a manager (an employee). I find here great material to share and use with my sales force. I have learned not to go by the title of the episode and just invent the time. I always pick up a nugget.
Early episodes are a great starting place
I loved the earliest episodes of this podcast. They were honest and simple with real content for people to use. At some point they got a little to feeling a little bit too slick, like a lot of the fast-money-overly-gimmicky stuff you see online so often. I’ve started listening again recently and it seems like Pat is going back to basics, or at least I hope so!
Favorite Business Podcast!
This is an amazing podcast! I love Pat's energy and knowledge and he is honest and friendly. The guest he brings on are amazing and I get excited with each new episode. The intros are awesome! Even though I don't currently have a business(I have a podcast), I learn so much good information which I still can apply to my podcast. Keep it up! -Josh
Honest and Trustworthy Advice
Pat does a great job of breaking down the steps you need to follow in order to create a successful online business. You can tell that he really cares and is in this for the long-haul. He continues to create more and more useful content the longer he's been at it. Keep up the great work, Pat!
Simply A Must!
For ANYONE interested in starting or growing an online business, this podcast is required listening. Pat Flynn is everything you would want in a mentor/teacher/reference. He is extremely personable and his passion and dedication shows in everything he does. I honestly can’t recommend this podcast, or any anything else from Pat, enough. Thanks for everything, Pat!
Awesome resource for online businesses
I discovered this podcast a month ago and have listened to over 50 episodes since. The podcast directed me towards a free resource that Pat provides which taught me how to build a wordpress website with out any prior knowledge. This podcast is a wealth of knowledge for anyone pursuing or involved in online businesses. Thanks Pat!
The World Needs More Flynn
Give. That is what Pat does ALL THE TIME! Whether it’s his knowledge, experience, suggestions, introduction to other influencers, free lessons and courses, best practices, or his time - HE IS A GIVER! Imagine a whole world of PATS! 👏💕👍
One of my favorite podcasts
Pat is engaging, entertaining, and leaves me a bit smarter after every episode. It’s an easy listen in conversations he has with the most interesting entrepreneurs in the game. I look forward to listening and take notes. Thanks for your generosity to both listeners, guests, and your charities, Pat!

Pat has so much knowledge and yet approaches each interview with curiosity. I enjoy the exchange of information and learn new tools to live a successful life and build a desirable future!
Consistently Great, Value Galore
Love Pat and SPI. Currently devouring all the back episodes and constantly in awe of the quality and value each week Pat brings to this podcast. There a hundreds of "authorities" in this space, Pat IMO delivers the most value week in/week out. Thank you sir!
Best podcast ever!
Very helpful and easy to understand. The best online business academy ever!!!
Great information!
I’m literally binge listening to all of the episodes from the very beginning and I’m loving the information you’re sharing on this podcast! I’ve been wanting to start a blog for a while focused on my fitness journey and educating women on how to lose weight by making a lifestyle change. I definitely learned from you that I need to stop thinking about it and just take action! Great resource for making real income and you make it seem very possible that I can actually do it so thank you for sharing!
Incredible Content, Great Personality
Where has this podcast been all my life? I only recently discovered Pat Flynn and his Smart Passive Income empire. I started out reading the SPI blog and graduated to the podcasts and videos. I adore these podcasts because of all the reasons Pat always talks about! I can listen to it while I'm in the car or doing chores. I feel like I'm learning all the time. I've already started implementing things I've learned and I'm so excited to work with my followers, all thanks to Pat!
Just started and....
....addicted. Pat seems like a genuine dude and his show brings helpful, inspiring ideas and real-life examples to the listener on a never-ending conveyor belt. Thank you!
Life changing podcast
I love you Pat, you are an incredible human being. The Smart Passive Income podcast and organization are life changing and inspiring me to build my own online businesses. Thank you for all you do, I hope to some day meet you and be able to share my own success story and how you have changed my life.
One of my go-to podcasts!
SPI is one of the very few podcasts I listen to. Amazing content, amazing guests, and it inspired me to start my own podcast, which launched today! Thanks Pat for your top notch work.
