Pat Flynn was rocking his career as a young architect.

Actually, Pat was one of the youngest people in the firm to ever become a Job Captain. Things were going great. He was working hard at the job he always dreamed of. He just got engaged.

Pat was one of the top performers in the company, but when the economy tanked – it didn’t matter. Everybody around him were losing their jobs. No one was building anything. The architecture market dried up completely.

One day, Pat’s Time Has Come.

He was called to his boss’s office. His safe job was gone. With no openings anywhere, Pat was stuck. What will he do with his life?

Pat Flynn – Smart Passive Income

He remembered that he heard that some people were making money from the internet. As it turned out, due to his rigorous studying habits, he was sitting on “internet gold”. That’s how the story of one of today’s most inspiring and influential internet entrepreneur began.

Today Pat is the proud owner of Smart Passive Income, and is running a business generating over $50,000 monthly. How? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What it takes to succeed with your online business
  • How Pat earned $7,905 dollars on the first month of launching his first online product – and why it wasn’t an “overnight success”
  • How Pat added more businesses to his portfolio
  • How Pat runs his iPhone apps business
  • Why he shares his detailed monthly income report online
  • How Pat converted an avid hater to a fan
  • Pat’s tips for a new entrepreneur – do you need to follow a passion? and more!
  • How to find your unfair advantage and use it to stand out and succeed in a saturated niche
  • Who inspires Pat, and Pat’s favorite resources
  • How I scored this interview with Pat, and what’s the important lesson I learned from the process

It’s here! It’s finally here!

I’m so excited to announce the Inspiring Innovation Podcast. This baby has been in the making since August 2012 (it’s now April 2013!), and I simply cannot believe it’s finally out of the gate.

Here’s what it’s about: every Thursday I’ll release a new episode featuring an amazing guest. All guests will be among today’s most successful entrepreneurs, and we will dive into their untold story, revealing the secrets behind their success. Where did they fail? What mistakes have they made? What lessons have they learned? And how they moved forward and achieved their incredible success stories?

If this sounds familiar to the Inspiring Innovation Magazine readers out there – you are correct. Many interviews will be based on content from the magazine, so you will now have the freedom to take the interviews on the road, or listen to them while at the gym, commuting, walking the dog – or any other activity that lets you enjoy podcasting. I don’t want the wisdom that these amazing entrepreneurs share to be wasted by limiting the ways you can consume the interviews.

For the magazine readers – don’t fret. The magazine will always be ahead of the podcast, and I will keep having a huge amount of additional content, articles and videos. Nothing’s changing — it’s only getting better.

To all of the people who contacted me since the magazine was launched and asked for a podcast version — thanks for your patience and support. I hope this will live up to your expectations!

* Making my happy dance *

Join us weekly for a constant dose of entrepreneurship inspiration, lifestyle, and business. After all, this is the best way to become a more successful entrepreneur!

In the first episode I cover

  • How is this podcast going to work – the publishing schedule and format
  • Why I created it, and who are some of the coming guests on the show
  • My personal entrepreneurship story – from child entrepreneur (I was the PC technician of my kindergarten when I was 6), to starting a business, failing, going corporate, and starting all over again.
  • What gave me the inspiration and strength to make the change, leave corporate, and say goodbye to safety

Items mentioned in this episode include:

Items I forgot to mention because I was too excited!:

  • Entrepreneur On Fire – daily inspiring interviews with incredible entrepreneurs, by John Lee Dumas. http://eofire.com

The Inspiring Innovation Entrepreneur Magazine App Has Been Released To Ipad!

My first app, ‘Inspiring Innovation Magazine’ has just been released on the Apple Newsstand / App Store!

I’m making a video today explaining all about this new iPad magazine, the process and why I wasn’t around (on the internet) for almost three weeks. That’s coming up later today. Meanwhile – check out the magazine at http://bit.ly/InMagApp

Pat Flynn on the Inspiring Innovation Magazine cover
Pat Flynn – Cover story of the July Issue. Grab a copy now

The first issue includes a great video interview with the amazing Pat Flynn from The Smart Passive Income blog, a greatly inspiring piece by Farnoosh from Prolific Living giving you 72 reasons to never get a job, and last but not least – an immensely detailed blueprint of how to go from a product idea to manufacturing and selling it – based on an interview with Cahill Puil, co-founder of LapDawg (see him also featured on Tim Ferriss’ 4HWW blog).

Original audio of the interview also included! (Seriously invaluable).
