Podcasts about achieve more

Ever wonder why some podcasts spread like wildfire while others wither on the vine? Well, it turns out that a whopping 60 to 80% of podcasts are discovered through good old-fashioned word of mouth. Yeah, that means if your podcast isn't getting shared, there's a reason. So, what's the secret sauce that makes people hit that share button? In this episode, I research the world of shareable content — you know, the kind that makes your friends feel like they need to hear it. Spoiler alert: it's all about that emotional connection and delivering value. Plus, I'll throw in some advice on being a better podcaster and maybe even a better dad.

Good content isn't just about being decent; it has to be downright irresistible to share. We often share things based on the feels—if it hits us in the feels, we share it. To get people to share, your content should be emotionally engaging, practical, and visually appealing.

From an early age, we're taught that the more you know, the better. But times have changed, as must our approach to learning.  More information is overwhelming, confusing, and slows us down. If information alone were the answer, we'd all be exactly where we want to be. The true indicator of success or failure isn't the volume of what you know but how effectively you apply that knowledge. Whether it's consuming podcasts and books or keeping up with social media on top of our work and family life, many of us spend time learning but struggle to implement what we've learned.  That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Pat Flynn back on the podcast. Pat is a long-time friend, beloved author, entrepreneur, speaker, and host of the Smart Passive Income Podcast. In today's podcast, and in his newest book, Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less, Pat shares a brilliant approach that can change the way you think, learn, develop, and enhance new skills.  In our conversation, you'll learn the difference between what Pat calls “just-in-time learning” and “just-in-case learning,” how micro mastery enhances our learning process, and how voluntary force functions like setting dates and deadlines helped him succeed in business, public speaking, and even fishing. You'll walk away with new tools on how you can shift your mindset, apply lean learning to any goal, and start making immediate progress—one small action at a time. KEY TAKEAWAYS The difference between just-in-time learning vs just-in-case learning Why we're overinformed, overwhelmed and not productive The power of mentors, support and community to keep you motivated How micromastery reduces overwhelm and helps learn new skills faster How to apply lean learning to your Miracle Morning and the value of teaching others The power of voluntary force functions and adding dates to your goals Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/589 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

I'm excited for today's episode because we've got Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income. Pat is a father, a husband, a lifelong learner, and, honestly, one of the most generous teachers out there when it comes to business and entrepreneurship. He has built several successful companies, launched best-selling books, and invented products like the SwitchPod. He's created communities around smart passive income, and somehow, he still finds time for his top-rated podcast about business building, and he runs a top YouTube channel about Pokémon cards, which we'll actually talk about today.  Today, we're talking about Pat's newest book, Lean Learning, How to Achieve More by Learning Less. The book is all about cutting through the noise, taking action faster, and building real momentum, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed by everything that you think you “should be” learning or doing.  If you have ever felt stuck in learning mode, chasing ideas and information but not applying them and making real progress, Pat is going to show us how we can do this better because sometimes doing less and focusing smarter on things is exactly what you need to get bigger results.

What if you could turn your expertise as a financial advisor into a YouTube channel that builds trust, creates community, and drives new business?Today's guest has done exactly that—and he's here to show you how.I'm talking with Pat Flynn, an online creator and entrepreneur who's spent nearly 20 years building digital businesses and online communities. He's the creator of Smart Passive Income, a top-rated podcast with over 47 million downloads. He's also built multiple successful YouTube channels, each tapping into different niches and reaching millions.What really stood out to me about Pat is his willingness to try new things without fear of failure. He's constantly experimenting, learning from what works (and what doesn't), and sharing those insights openly with his audience.In this episode, he's pulling back the curtain on how to build a successful YouTube channel—from creating content that instantly hooks viewers to using YouTube Shorts to skyrocket your reach. If you've ever thought about using YouTube to grow your financial firm, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can use. 4 of the biggest insights from Pat … #1.) Proven YouTube Strategies for Explosive GrowthDiscover the YouTube strategies Pat uses to drive massive growth—including how to master hooks, stand out in a crowded market, storytelling techniques, build loyal communities, leverage trending topics, and balance long-form videos with Shorts. #2.) From 0 to 2.5 Billion Views in 300 DaysPat reveals how he launched a Pokémon YouTube channel (without any experience in that niche) and scaled it from 0 to 2.5 billion views in just 300 days. His story is a masterclass in rapid experimentation, finding your niche, and doubling down on what works. #3.) Using Challenges to Drive Engagement and Attract ClientsPat revealed how to use online challenges to turn passive viewers into engaged followers.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Feeling overwhelmed by information overload? Struggling to turn ideas into action? In this episode of Inspired Money, host Andy Wang sits down with renowned entrepreneur and author Pat Flynn to discuss practical strategies for mastering “lean learning,” lessons from his new book Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less. Whether you want to build passive income, overcome imposter syndrome, or finally break through the noise to implement your ideas, this conversation delivers actionable insights for professionals in today's fast-moving, digitally saturated world. Meet our Guest Pat Flynn is a serial entrepreneur, founder of Smart Passive Income (SPI), and a leading authority on online business, productivity, and education. He's written four books, including "Will It Fly?" and his latest, "Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less." Pat is known for his transparency in sharing wins, failures, and real-world tactics for building meaningful businesses and communities. Key Highlights The “Just-in-Time” Learning Advantage Pat Flynn explains the difference between “just-in-case” and “just-in-time” learning. Instead of hoarding information for every possible situation, he advocates focusing only on what's immediately relevant: “Know your next step. Do that, and then you'll figure it out.” This targeted approach prevents information overload and accelerates real progress toward your goals. Turning Fear Into Fuel Pat candidly shares how fear of failure and perfectionism held him back early in his career—and how reframing mistakes as part of the growth process changed everything. “I'd rather fail faster,” he says, encouraging us to see failure as information, not a dead end. His story about iterating on the SwitchPod invention, and his advice for parents and mentors, inspire us to lead by example and embrace vulnerability. The Power of Community & Accountability Both Pat and Andy highlight the importance of community as the “bedrock of learning and development.” Whether it's mastermind groups, in-person meetups, or simply sharing your goals with a respected mentor, being part of a supportive ecosystem multiplies motivation, provides feedback, and delivers unexpected opportunities. “You can't read the label when you're inside the bottle,” Pat notes—underscoring why outside perspective matters. Force Functions: Create Your Own Deadlines Pat discusses the concept of “voluntary force functions”—deliberately putting yourself in higher-pressure situations (like agreeing to a keynote speech) to catalyze rapid learning and growth. This tactical shift turns intention into action and helps beat procrastination. As he puts it, “When we choose to opt into situations where we have to do the thing...we can harness a temporary and strategic stressor for life-changing transformation.” Call-to-Action This week, pick one area where you've been stuck in learning mode—then take a small, concrete action toward implementation. Whether it's launching a project, signing up for your first community meetup, or sharing your idea with a trusted mentor, make progress by doing—starting today!

Let's get one thing straight—being rich isn't just about what's in your bank account. It's an energy, a vibration, and a soul-led decision. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I reprogrammed my subconscious to attract wealth and live abundantly AF. This isn't about get-rich-quick schemes—this is real talk about rewiring beliefs, quantum physics, and why you must stop taking advice from broke people.If you've ever felt stuck around money, repeating affirmations without seeing results, this conversation will crack you open. I'm sharing the mindset shifts, daily practices, and bold decisions that helped me embody wealth before the dollars showed up. No fluff. All truth. You ready to stop chasing and start attracting? Let's go, fam.

Okay, Brave Table fam—this one's for every powerhouse, healer, and big-hearted change-maker who has ever felt blocked around money, worthiness, or success. I sat down with my dear friend and legendary hypnotherapist Marisa Peer—and ohhh honey, did we go there.

In this energizing episode of Transform Your Workplace, keynote speaker and author Peggy Sullivan delivers a much-needed wake-up call for today's overwhelmed professionals. Sharing insights from her book Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, Peggy explores the hidden costs of glorifying busyness. Through heartfelt stories, she challenges leaders to rethink their priorities and model healthier, more intentional work habits. If you're a leader who feels stretched too thin, this episode is your invitation to lead differently — listen in and discover how doing less can help you and your team achieve more.   TAKEAWAYS Busyness is often mistaken for productivity but usually leads to poor quality, low energy, and burnout. Time poverty—lacking time for what matters—is a widespread challenge among professionals. Overstuffed schedules and constant multitasking reduce effectiveness and increase mistakes. Email and communication overload are major distractions that hinder meaningful work. Chronic busyness contributes to loneliness, disengagement, and health issues. Leaders who model intentional time management set a healthier tone for their teams. Eliminating low-value tasks is essential to creating space for high-impact work. Happiness is found in everyday micro-moments, not in achieving big milestones.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 

How to Achieve More by Doing Less In today's fast-paced world, busyness has become a status symbol. But does being busy actually lead to success? Or are we stuck in a cycle of time poverty that leaves us exhausted and unfulfilled? In this episode of The Leadership Habit podcast, host Jenn DeWall sits down with […] The post Move Beyond Busyness with Peggy Sullivan appeared first on Crestcom International.

Are you caught in the relentless cycle of ‘eat, work, sleep, repeat'?According to my guest for this episode of my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast, the problem we face with this cycle of busyness is not a lack of time management, but a lack of clarity over what our personal values are and how to live a more intentional life.Peggy Sullivan is a corporate performance expert, researcher, speaker, and founder of SheCAN!, a national women's nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women professionally and personally. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Inc, Bloomberg Businessweek, and numerous other media outlets.I've invited Peggy to join me on my podcast so we can talk about her book “Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve MORE by Doing LESS.”Over the course of our conversation, Peggy shares a simple, but powerful three-step strategy that can help any leader get off the busyness hamster wheel and instead spend their days doing work that aligns with their personal values and aspirations.Noteworthy links:Buy Peggy's book “Beyond Busyness” on AmazonLearn more about Peggy's work: peggysullivanspeaker.com Hosted on Acast.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your schedule, struggling to make time for yourself, or stuck in the cycle of constant busyness, this episode with Peggy Sullivan is for you—learn how to break free, take back control, and start living with more intention.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/peggy-sullivanIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Peggy Sullivan joins us to break down the high cost of busyness and how to take back control of our time, happiness, and mental health. Peggy is a keynote speaker, author, and consultant who's spent years researching the effects of busyness and helping people escape the never-ending hustle. Her book, Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, lays out a simple but powerful three-step “busy busting” methodology that's already changed lives.We kicked off the conversation with Peggy's mantra: “I am enough. I have enough. I got this.” She created this saying for herself, and it serves as a reminder that we already have what we need to succeed—we just have to believe it. We also talked about her personal passions, including hot yoga and cold plunges (which, honestly, sound like a nightmare to me, but she swears by them!).Peggy explained why so many of us struggle to prioritize self-care. Society glorifies busyness as a status symbol, making us think that being overbooked equals being successful. We also get a little rush of adrenaline when we cross something off a to-do list, even if that thing wasn't important. That's why busyness becomes addictive. But here's the kicker—research shows that 75% of Americans feel overwhelmed by their schedules and don't know how to slow down, and 64% skip basic self-care (like eating meals and getting enough sleep) because they're “too busy.” Worse yet, 76% of those who identify as overly busy aren't even happy.So how do we break free? Peggy shared her three-step busy busting process:Subtraction: Cut out low-value activities that drain time without adding anything meaningful. Doom scrolling, email rabbit holes, and unnecessary multitasking are some of the biggest culprits.Mojo Making: Replace that busyness high with intentional happiness rituals. Whether it's savoring a piece of chocolate, taking a walk, or making time for a real connection, small moments of joy add up.Values Vibing: Align your decisions with your core values. Peggy's research identified four values that lead to a fulfilling life: human connection, energy management, growth, and authenticity. When you prioritize these, it becomes easier to say no to the noise and yes to what truly matters.We also talked about the long-term mental health impacts of busyness—like forgetfulness, burnout, and strained relationships. Peggy shared a wake-up call from her own life: after working late one night, she accidentally ate her cat's food instead of her own because she was too exhausted to notice. That moment made her realize just how much her busy lifestyle was costing her.Peggy left us with some solid advice: Try the alternative. Cut one or two things that aren't serving you and see how it feels. No one she's worked with has ever regretted slowing down and making more space for what truly matters. She encourages everyone to stop letting busyness steal their joy. Life is richer, healthier, and more meaningful when we step off the hamster wheel.

Class is back in session, ladies!    Once again, Sarah's sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine's Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this episode on focus and productivity, drawn largely from Michael Hyatt's Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less, she covers how to:    STOP. This is where we Formulate, Evaluate, and Rejuvenate.  CUT. This is where we Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate.  ACT. This is where we Consolidate, Designate, and Activate.  “Putting some of these concepts into action has helped me so much with focusing my work and productivity – and letting go of the ‘hustle-productivity-do-all-the-things-at-once' culture,” says Sarah.   “We stress ourselves out about doing 'all the things' and just need a reminder that it's okay to not do 'all the things.' We aren't called to do that. We're called to serve each other in love because we are forgiven children of God, and that in itself gives us a lot of freedom.”  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.
