Pat Flynn went from getting laid off in 2008... to building a seven-figure YouTube business, selling out Pokémon conventions, and leading a legacy entrepreneurship brand (Smart Passive Income).

In this episode, we talk about reinvention, raising kids, chasing relevance, and how he built Deep Pocket Monster into a viral brand with 3 billion+ views.

You'll love this one if you've ever pivoted careers, tried to balance family with ambition, or just want to geek out on business and storytelling. 🎧 Enjoy!
