We are exposed to more information than ever, and in the age of social media, that information moves fast. In a world of never-ending advice, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of consuming information without taking action. On today’s show, you’re going to learn how you can achieve more by learning less. On this episode of The Model Health Show, I’m sitting down with Pat Flynn. Pat is a serial entrepreneur, author, and one of the leading authorities in the space of digital marketing. His new book, Lean Learning, is a powerful guide to changing the way that you learn so that you can accomplish more. In this conversation, Pat is sharing strategies you can use to focus on what matters, to simplify learning, eliminate distractions, and maximize efficiency. You’re going to learn specific tactics and tools you can use to make progress on any goal, how to deal with FOMO, and how changing the way you learn can change your life. I hope you enjoy this interview with the one and only, Pat Flynn!
