840b passive income, Pokémon card collection, living out your values + more (with Deep Pocket Monster)
Pat Flynn is a US entrepreneur who's achieved some truly incredible things. He's established a number of passive income businesses, written books and shared his online business learnings with the world. Glen recently caught up with him at Fincon to understand his values, his goals, and how he's set up his life for success. Apologies for the audio in the last 5 minutes - Glen's audio interface decided to crash. Yay. They touch on:
👉🏻 Pat's first passive income business, his definition of success + his Pokémon YouTube channel (Deep Pocket Monster)
👉 Pat's approach to managing the money he's earned (philanthropy, investing, managing for his own costs) + why he wrote 'Lean Learning'
👉🏼 how Pat and his wife prioritise their family, connect with their kids + ensure their kids learn important money lessons
👉🏽 the value of Pat's Pokémon card collection
