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!

There’s some value here and there, but these feel like one big ad.

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.🤗

I tried to listen to the most recent episode and there were 2 minutes worth of advertisements just to start the episode. NO THANKS!

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”.

🥴Came for the content but 5 mins of ads before it even gets started is a turn off. Maybe space it throughout instead.

Still have some actionable content every now and then but not as much as before. The “Teaching Fridays” with SPI members is difficult to listen to…most of them can’t inflect their voice at all and it sounds like early version of speech-to-text. Grasping for content?

Seems like a 50/50 ads to content ratio.

I have really moved away from this podcast, because it is just too much of a pep talk or motivational speech. I don't need find my purpose. I don't need a pep talk. I don't want a bunch of fortune cookie stuff. I know excatly what I'm trying to get done and why. I've moved more towards the podcasts that give you actionable ideas and info in each episode.

Advertising and rambling about nothing.
