Welcome to the SPI lineup of shows

From failure stories to high-profile interviews, our shows aim to guide you through the expanding entrepreneurial world.

Hey, it's Pat. Podcasting was in its infancy when I started my first show back in 2009. Since then, I've seen up close how podcasting can help build engaged audiences, nurture deep relationships, and drive business results.

Podcasting is on a consistent growth trajectory, and technological barriers to entry are dropping all the time. The sky's the limit when it comes to the ways in which podcasts can serve, educate, and entertain.

And we've made it part of our mission to keep pushing toward that limit.

That show I started back in '09, the Smart Passive Income Podcast, features interviews with entrepreneurs doing amazing things—and it's still our flagship show. A few years after it launched, my weekly coaching Q&A show, AskPat 2.0, joined the fold.

These two podcasts have been a huge part of how we've served our audience and grown the SPI business. But we know they're just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many more stories to tell, more nuances of the entrepreneurial journey to uncover, more ways to use podcasts to help people build businesses and serve their audiences.

So say hello to the expanding network of SPI shows! Check out Flops, where you'll learn from (and laugh and cry along with) entrepreneurs who have failed fantastically and lived to tell the tale. And our latest show, the Community Experience, explores how brands and organizations can facilitate authentic connection through community.

I hope you'll take some time to explore our expanded network of shows and subscribe if you like what you hear. You'll meet some fantastic new people, including our hosts. And you'll learn a ton about important entrepreneurial topics that are outside my zone of genius.

Stay tuned to this space, because there's definitely more to come! Oh, and if you're interested in starting a podcast of your own, click here!
