James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com. This is Episode 673. And we're talking about how to create superfans. And for that, I brought along somewhat of an expert in this field, Pat Flynn. Welcome.

Pat: Thanks, James. Glad to be here.

James: This is not your first time on the show. The last time you were on here was actually six years ago in Episode 225. And we had a great discussion back then. We were talking about your story and your journey, which you've showed no signs of slowing. You're actually getting stronger and bigger in the marketplace. Over the last six years, you've had quite a transformation. In fact, I think now you've had over 55 million downloads of Smart Passive Income. You've got a thriving YouTube channel. You're now running events, live events, you're still very strong with your affiliate marketing, and it seems like you've visited just about every Disneyland available from the travels - and no doubt, your Back-to-the-Future paraphernalia has been increasing. So what a journey, hey? Over that last six years, quite a bit of change.

Pat: Definitely a lot of change and besides the Back-to-the-Future stuff being the most exciting thing for me. It's definitely been just how I feel like I've grown up as a CEO now because back then I was feeling like I was a scrappy entrepreneur, I was taken advantage of some really cool things in the affiliate marketing world in a very genuine way. I was very proud of that. But now, like you said, I have live events, I have these books coming out. I've done online courses finally. And still being able to manage the family and be here for the kids too. And just very thankful for that. And also, I just want to give a quick shout out to you, James. You've been very instrumental in my most recent successes related to a lot of these things that I've just mentioned. As a result of, you know, you helped me out in your mentorship program.

Juggling business and family

James: Oh, well, it's been my pleasure and actually a real privil...

James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com. This is Episode 662, and we'll be talking about what pages you need on your website, especially relating to if you're selling some kind of course or membership. And of course, I’ve brought back my great friend John Lint from 10XPRO.io. Welcome, John.

John: Hey, everybody. Hi, James. Nice to be back.

James: John, what have you been up to lately?

John: Super busy with 10XPRO as always, trying to add more and more cool stuff. It always feels like, you know, Christmas in each month of the year. Every month, we deploy some really cool stuff and I’m really pumped about the new bunch of features that we're going to add. Like, we have awesome blog features coming up, we have new templates coming up, we have some advanced automation stuff. So it's really going to make a lot of our members happy, the guys starting out, and also the advanced guys, they're going to love it because we have some really huge bag of goodies, I would say. I'm really pumped about that one.

James: Yeah, that's great. I mean, it takes a lot of commitment. I know, because I publish a new training each month for SuperFastBusiness members. And there’s actual effort involved in that, and rolled it out, and we captured it as a recording. Of course, people joining now can access the entire back catalogue of all the recordings. And in your case, when someone buys 10XPRO.io, they're going to access all the features that are ready to roll.
