About the Show
So where did this idea come from? Pat Flynn launched a podcast called AskPat over seven years ago — a show aimed at solving the nagging problems of real entrepreneurs worldwide. After 1,000 episodes (no, we didn’t type an extra zero) Pat took the show a step further to offer a real one-on-one coaching call to entrepreneurs with burning questions, a format he extended for another 200 episodes! Now, we’ve taken this concept a step further, inviting some of our most trusted experts to answer your questions directly.
