This Life Skill is Emerging in Our Kids Thanks to the Pandemic, and I’m All For It

Pat Flynn — Sat, 17 Oct 2020 00:35:24 +0000

This year (2020) has been challenging for everyone, and as we're still in the midst of this pandemic, and coming up to an incredibly important election next month (please vote!), I always try to look on the bright side of things. But that's been hard. There's been so much pain and suffering, and just as […]

That Time I Tried Out for a Quake 2 Clan

Pat Flynn — Tue, 19 May 2020 05:33:53 +0000

I had two tests within 12 hours. One of these tests was more important to me than the other. It was a week before Christmas break and I had just turned 16 years old. The calculus final I was pretty confident about, and I snuck in one more practice test before it was time to […]

My Live Streaming Equipment and Setup

Pat Flynn — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 05:07:23 +0000

During the coronavirus outbreak, I'm vowing to go live on YouTube every morning at 8am PT (11am ET) in an effort to help and support those in need at this time. Plus, it holds me accountable to waking up in the morning and starting the day with service to others. Every day, I have lots […]

The Toughest Crowd I’ve Ever Spoken to: Fifth Graders

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 23:56:24 +0000

In February 2020, I had the honor of visiting a local school and giving a presentation about entrepreneurship and business. I've spoken in front of crowds of thousands before, but this time, it was a little different. These were fifth graders, and they were struggling. I was asked a week earlier to come in and […]

Ski Week 2020: No Snow, No Problem

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 21:43:34 +0000

Last week, the family and I went to Big Bear Lake to find some real snow. Unfortunately, the only real snow that we saw was left over from the week before, piled up on the side of the road, melting and full of dirt. But that didn't stop us from having an amazing 4-day trip […]

The Complaint Jar

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 18:19:01 +0000

My wife April and I don't believe in complaining. We get frustrated, absolutely, and there's nothing wrong with blowing off a little steam when trying to accomplish something and things don't go according to plan. But complaining – to verbally and mentally get annoyed to a point where it could bring ourselves and the other […]

My Tesla Model Y Specs – The Future is Here

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 08:42:41 +0000

I leased a Tesla Model X in 2016 (90D) and every part of that experience, from ordering online, to picking up the car and feeling the rush of a fast-moving electric vehicle on the road that would make any passenger smile (plus the Falcon wing doors which reminded me of a Delorean), made me fall […]

These NES Games Shaped Who I Am

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 08:00:31 +0000

In 1985, I opened a Christmas present that would change my life forever. A Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). I was only 3 at the time, and looking back as a parent now I feel like I was quite young to have a legit gaming console like that (thanks Dad!), but it was the hot new […]

I sold two businesses last month. Here’s why.

Pat Flynn — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 06:45:59 +0000

I've never sold a business before last month. Today, I can happily say I've now sold two. The businesses that I sold were FoodTruckr, and Security Guard Training Headquarters, two niche sites that I built back in the early 2010s as experiments on SmartPassiveIncome.com, used to publicly show people how to start a website and […]
