Hi, I’m Pat Flynn.
I’ve been podcasting since 2010. From nervous beginner to now hosting multiple shows with over 90 million downloads across more than 2,000 episodes, I can tell you it’s absolutely worth it. Podcasting has become the #1 way people discover my business, helped me become a better communicator, and opened doors to amazing opportunities — including speaking engagements worldwide.
Aspiring podcasters often share the same struggles: “I don’t know where to begin,” “I’m unsure if my idea will work or if people will be interested,” or the biggest one —”I’m afraid I will fail.“
I want you to learn from both my successes and failures. That’s why I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into the How to Start a Podcast course. This course will guide you step-by-step in setting up and launching your podcast. I’m here to help you find your idea, test if it will work, and teach you the right steps to turn it into a reality. Let’s get started!
