A few weeks ago, I came across a post on X from a user named Yoni Smolyar. It said posting a video on Instagram every day for 508 days in a row taught me that I never want to do that again. I realized that I had seen and followed Yoni on Instagram, where he has over 190,000 followers. In the process, Yoni built an iPhone app called Brainrot, which had a $10,000 launch that he credits to his social media presence that he built during this daily Instagram posting challenge. In this conversation, you'll hear Yoni's approach to Instagram, what worked for him, why he ultimately says he wouldn't do it again, and why he believes his ex-audience of 20,000 may be more valuable. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Yoni's Website / Instagram / Twitter / Brainrot App / YouTube / TikTok *** TIMESTAMPS (00:00) 508 Days of Daily Videos (05:08) Building Habits: A Month In (08:55) From Hesitant Posts to Viral Storytelling (12:35) Documenting My Entrepreneurial Journey (14:07) Speak Your Mind, Hit Record (19:38) Entrepreneurial Journey: Transparency & Growth (21:19) Brainrot: Tackling Phone Overuse (24:42) Overcoming Cringe Through Posting (30:37) Seasons of Steak and Sizzle (32:12) Origins of Social Media Sharing (34:58) Trapped by Public Perception (38:48) Short Form Video's Negative Impact *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#275: From ignoring short-form video to 3.5 billion views | Pat Flynn's Pokémon juggernaut (Part 1)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your question here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** WHEN YOU'RE READY

How do I begin? Where do I start? If you've been waiting for things to calm down or trying to earn permission to focus on yourself, this episode is for you. Beginning isn't about having clarity—it's about creating a container where clarity can emerge. What you'll learn: Why you don't need a perfect plan to begin (just a "starter plan") How to start something meaningful without quitting your entire life Why overthinking is actually disguised fear The psychology of the "fresh start effect" and how to create your own Using tiny experiments to test bold goals without destabilizing everything The truth: Many high-achieving women believe they succeeded by managing everything. Starting something for yourself means asking: "Who am I allowed to be?" You don't need to earn the right to begin. Confidence comes from acting, not from waiting. You can pursue bold goals through small experiments—no grand reinvention required.

It's the question on everyone's lips as we head into the festive period: will we see a white Christmas? While the dream of a snowy morning is fading, the forecast is still promising a 'crisp' winter experience. With temperatures set to dip to minus one on Christmas Eve night, we are looking at a cold, dry, and bright holiday for the most part.

On Atlantic Tales this week, Pat Flynn visits a typical nineteenth century vernacular farmhouse located at Tullyvarraga in Shannon. Hastings Farmhouse appeared in the first edition ordnance survey map of 1940 and was lived in by the Hastings family until the early 1970's. Now, efforts are underway to restore the historic farmhouse and open it up as a community space.

On this week's episode of Clare Women In Business, Pat Flynn chats with Áine Gleeson, founder and leader of the Wowwee.ie. In 2004, she set about designing elegant Christmas stockings, hand-embroidering each one with children's names. Áine later launched Co Clare's first e-commerce website and introduced her personalised gifts to the window of the world.

Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

For nearly two decades, Pat Flynn has been creating content. What's interesting is how that work has fueled multiple 7-figure businesses. Over the years, he's launched and scaled companies across education, media, software, community, and physical products—from Smart Passive Income and SwitchPod to niche websites, podcasting tools, and more recently, a Pokémon YouTube channel that pulls in 10 million views a day. What ties all of these ventures together is the way Pat builds them. Through his Lean Learning philosophy, he's able to use content to test ideas, reduce risk, and explore a wide range of opportunities while still staying super focused. In this episode, you'll learn exactly how Pat's able to start so many ventures, his approach to mastering any skill, the merger that freed up his time and allowed SPI to scale, and the viral short-form content strategy that's driving millions in both views and revenue.=   Key Takeaways 01:16 Finding the Fun That Fuels Momentum 03:41 Why Pat Abandoned Blogging 04:47 The Problem With Audio-Only Podcasts 05:30 10M Views/Day from Pokémon Short-Form 07:21 Letting Data Drive Your Content Strategy 11:46 The Mental Shift That Separates Creators Who Win 15:32 The 20% Rule Powering Pat's Side Ventures 22:14 The 12-Minute Workflow Generating $25K–$40K Videos 25:30 The Smart Acquihire That Became SPI Media 33:25 Designing Your Business Around the Life You Want 36:21 Just In Time Learning vs. Just In Case Learning 43:12 How Community 3.5x's Your Odds of Success 47:03 Micro-Mastery to 10X Results in ANYTHING 54:12 Using Voluntary Force Functions to Take Massive Action 1:03:02 Pat's Advice to New Entrepreneurs 1:03:53 What No Longer Works in Content Creation     Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hFRAiXt4lAU    Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

On this week's episode of Clare Women In Business, Pat Flynn chats with Gillian Ennis, co-owner of Carrigerry Country House near Newmarket on Fergus. Clare Women in Business is funded by Coimisiún na Meán with the television licence fee.

The Mayor of Clare has claimed that commercial rates have been raised “for the greater good of the county”, although Cllr Paul Murphy did say the decision hasn't been taken lightly. The controversial measure, which will see the property tax on commercial premises increased by 8%, is included in Clare County Council's largest-ever revenue budget of €204 million, which has been adopted by elected members at a special meeting this week. It's the third time the local authority has taken such a measure, and has been backed by its Director of Finance, Investment and Enterprise Noeleen Fitzgerald, who explained on Thursday';s show that over 75% of businesses will see an increase of under €6 in their weekly amount owed. However, Ennis Chamber highlighted their opposition to the increase on Wednesday's Morning Focus, with its president Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon, believing a reduction in rates is in order, rather than a hike. To hear from some of the businesses in this county on the commercial rates increase, Alan Morrissey spoke with Frank Landy, Sweet n Green in Ennis and Robert Kennedy, Operates Spar in Lahinch on Friday's Morning Focus.

Elected members of Clare County Council are defending their decision to hike commercial rates. As part of the €204 million Revenue Budget agreed on Wednesday evening, the property tax on commercial premises has been increased by 8%. It's the third time the local authority has taken such a measure, and has been backed by its Director of Finance, Investment and Enterprise Noeleen Fitzgerald, who's explained that over 75% of businesses will see an increase of under €6 in their weekly amount owed. To discuss this further Alan Morrissey was joined live in studio by Noeleen Fitzgerald, Director of Finance, Enterprise and Investment at Clare County Council and Mayor of Clare, Fine Gael Councillor Paul Murphy.

Pat Flynn, CEO of Flynn Industries and New York Times bestselling author, shares his "lean learning" philosophy for combating information overload. After watching his kids get overwhelmed by endless learning options, Pat developed frameworks for just-in-time learning and micro mastery that helped him overcome stage fright and build multiple successful businesses, including a Pokemon YouTube channel with nearly 2 million subscribers. Key Takeaways We're "obese with information"—transition from just-in-case learning to just-in-time learning focused on your immediate next step Micro mastery: Pick one tiny component of a skill and hyper-focus on it for a specific period rather than trying to improve everything at once Scale your service business by productizing offerings, adding upsells, or creating templated packages that require less customization Community is crucial—surround yourself with peers who lift you up, mentors who guide you, and people you can teach and serve About Pat Flynn Pat Flynn is a father, husband, and lifelong learner from San Diego who has built a reputation as one of the most influential voices in digital entrepreneurship.  Through his diverse portfolio of businesses, award-winning podcasts, newsletters, YouTube channels, and thriving online communities, Pat reaches and inspires millions of people each month.  He is the founder of SPI, an online community for digital entrepreneurs, co-inventor of the SwitchPod, and host of the Deep Pocket Monster YouTube channel as well as founder of Card Party, a large-scale live event for the community of Pokémon collectors.  Pat also serves as an advisor to dozens of companies and is a sought-after keynote speaker.  In his free time, he enjoys fishing, collecting Pokémon cards, and rewatching the Back to the Future trilogy.

Andrea Samadi reflects on seven years hosting the Neuroscience Meets SEL podcast and celebrates reaching 500,000 downloads. She shares seven strategies—clarifying mission and vision, defining the audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, building partnerships, and building momentum—and eight personal lessons learned, including the power of practice, research, adaptation, and praxis. This episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for anyone looking to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, well-being, and long-term results. On today's episode #377, we cover a break from our interviews, with a celebration episode!  ✔  7 Strategies that took our podcast from 0-500,000 downloads (including clarifying our mission, vision, defining our audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, and building partnerships). ✔ 8 Personal Lessons learned over the past 7 years  (including the power of spaced repetition, research, adaptation and praxis).   Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's EP #377 we will take a break from our interview reviews, and look back over the past 7 years, and 14 Seasons, as we hit an important milestone in the podcasting world, our 500,000th download.  I remember when we hit the 300,000th marker, back in March 2023[i] we reflected back on the lessons learned in our first 4 years of hosting this podcast.  I remember looking at the next milestone of half a million, thinking it was such a distance from where we currently were.  It just took 3 years to get here, and now we have our eye on the next 500,000 downloads, which from here, looks like a lifetime away. As we reflect back over the past 7 years, many of our strategies remain the same as when we first began. Some strategies we did have to change. We reviewed some of these concepts on EP 279[ii] back in March 2023.  As we review what got us here, I think that these strategies can be applied to anything we are doing, with a long-term vision.   7 STRATEGIES WE USED TO HIT THE 500K DOWNLOAD MILESTONE 1. Know Your Mission (What You're Doing) The mission of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast is to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and practical applications in education, business, and personal development. The podcast shares insights, strategies, and best practices to enhance learning, performance, and well-being by integrating neuroscience (which we like to make simple) and connecting it to social and emotional skills (SEL). Our goal is to provide valuable information listeners can apply in their work and personal lives to achieve peak performance and overall self-improvement, with a deeper understanding of how our brain works — something many of us were never taught in school. When the mission is clear, anything outside of this mission — applying neuroscience made simple to our daily lives — wasn't a match. This clarity helps maintain focus and ensures that all efforts align with creating tangible, positive outcomes. It's what keeps us consistent, translating complex scientific insights into actionable practices that lead to meaningful improvements in how we think, learn, and interact. From the very beginning, each guest spoke on a topic aligned with current neuroscience research. Each season was shaped by a framework connecting the six social and emotional learning competencies with foundational brain concepts — what I called Neuroscience 101, based on what I learned while studying with neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman.[iii] That's how our seasons were created. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly defined Mission of WHAT you do? 2. Know Your Vision with a Clear Why Your vision is why you do what you do. Once you know what you want to do, ask yourself — do you know why? This is probably the number one question I get asked when people hear that I host a podcast. They'll say, “Why? What made you decide to do this? Why did you launch a podcast?” It's a long story (I'll keep it short). When I purchased a website in January 2019, it came with a podcasting theme. The developer told me I could delete it, but I was already interviewing people for my work in schools — I just wasn't releasing that content publicly. A few months later, I wanted to present these ideas at a conference, but I was told I'd have to pay to present. That felt wrong — why pay to share the work I'd spent years developing? So, I decided instead to launch the podcast in June 2019. From the beginning, the podcast was meant to be a give-back — a way for anyone to learn these ideas without paying for access. To this day, it remains ad-free for that reason. My friend and long-time supporter, Greg Wolcott (Assistant Superintendent from Chicago, Illinois, Episode 7[iv]), reminded me how far the show has reached — now in over 190 countries — compared to the 50–100 people who might have attended that conference I wanted to present at. I truly believe that what's meant to happen will happen. As my dad would say in his Scottish accent: “What's for you, won't go by you.” So, with your vision, ask yourself: Do you know why you are doing what you do? I often go back to Part 6[v] of our Think and Grow Rich book study, where I dedicated an episode to my mentor, Bob Proctor. He always reminded us that our mission — whatever we want to achieve — becomes possible only once we first of all believe it's possible. He'd say: “What story do you want to tell? What scenes do you want to shoot? How do you want the movie to end? Be the director of your life.” Once you can clearly see something on the screen of your mind, (Your Mission) the next step is to bring that vision into reality. (Your Vision). That's exactly how this podcast began — with a clear mission and vision that led to action. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly written VISION of why you do what you do? 3. Clarify Your “What” and “Who” After defining your why and what you envision, identify: What exactly you're creating (e.g., “a neuroscience and education podcast”). Who it's for — your specific audience or community. I wanted our audience to reach outside of schools, into sports and the modern workplace. I remember a few people telling me to stick to one audience, and I just couldn't do it. I had a broader vision. Ask yourself: Who will benefit most from my message? What do they struggle with, and how can my work help?

“Prospector” is a special documentary telling the incredible story of Paddy Hannan from Gorteen near Quin, Co Clare. In the early 1860s, Paddy left Clare for the goldfields of Australia and New Zealand. In 1893, he and two friends made a discovery that sparked one of the great Western Australian Gold Rushes. That find, in the scorching Australian outback, ultimately led to the founding of the city of Kalgoorlie where the main thoroughfare is named Hannan Street. This programme has been produced to mark the 100th anniversary of Paddy Hannan's death in Melbourne on November 4th 1925. “Prospector” is the story of Paddy Hannan and has been produced by Pat Flynn and was recorded in Clare and Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create a life filled with smart passive income, where your money works for you, and you have the freedom to live life on your terms?

What if the most important story you'll ever hear isn't about someone else, but about you? In this episode, I share something deeply personal from a recent hot seat in my Green Room mastermind. I asked my peers, Pat Flynn, Leslie Samuel, Mark Mason, Ray Edwards, and Michael Stelzner, how they would describe me and the work I do in the world. Their answers were strikingly consistent: “The magic of a single conversation.” Over and over, each of them described the power of one conversation to unlock potential, to destroy limitations, to surface truth, and to realign someone's compass to their true north. To bring this to life, I then share a conversation from a recent live stream with Niiamah. What began as a tactical question about building a podcast network unfolded into a transformational dialogue. One that shifted perspective, reignited possibility, and reminded both of us of what's truly possible when presence meets openness. This episode isn't about strategy or marketing. It's about identity. It's about the story you tell yourself about yourself. And as you'll hear, sometimes one conversation is all it takes to rewrite that story in a way that changes everything.

Influenced by a long line of materialist thinkers, Charles Darwin proposed the mechanism of natural selection as a substitute for God. But how does his theory's explanatory power measure up to recent scientific discoveries? On this ID The Future selected out of the archive, physicist Brian Miller discusses the resurgence of natural theology in modern science with Pat Flynn, co-host of the Philosophy for the People podcast. Natural theology advances arguments for God based on reason and the discoveries of science. It's an ancient pursuit that fell out of favor in the 19th century as a materialist account of life's origins took center stage. But scientific findings of the last century point to mind, not a mindless process, as the likeliest explanation for a life-friendly universe. As a result, the pendulum is swinging back to teleology, ushering in a new heyday for natural theology. This is Part 1 of a 2-part discussion. Source
