"Serve First and the Money will Follow" with Pat Flynn

In this episode I talk with Pat Flynn, and he shares what introverts can do to best serve their audiences (I’m over here raising my hand because I am closer to the introvert side of the spectrum)! He also reveals his first experience with a hater and why he almost quit his business because of it. Pat also shares some recommendations for how people can stand out online in a crowded marketplace and so much more! Pat is a father, husband, entrepreneur and host of The Smart Passive Income podcast, which I had the honor to be on just a few short years ago when I shared how to build a community online by hosting challenges to nurture your community (I packed all that up into my course, Build Your Challenge). He also has a podcast called Asked Pat, and between his two popular shows he’s had a combined total of over 50 million downloads! Even though he has amazing numbers when it comes to his downloads and the revenue he’s been able to create, he is all about serving first and allowing the money to follow – which is what leading with love is all about.
