In previous appearances on this podcast and elsewhere, Pat Friman has told the story of Father Flanagan, founder of BoysTown. According to Pat, Father Flanagan often made the following statement when describing his philosophy of helping troubled youths: "there is no such thing as a bad boy, only bad environments, bad modeling, and bad teaching." For the Spring 2021 issue of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, Dr. Linda LeBlanc invited Pat to expand on these remarks in the issue's lead paper. In this podcast, I'm joined by both Linda and Pat, as well as Inside JABA regular, Dr. Claire St. Peter, where we talk at length about the "circumstantial view" of behavior as it applies to both clinical practice in particular, and societal trends more generally. Specifically, we discuss the following: How this paper fits into LeBlanc’s “big idea paper” concept. How “big idea” papers are often conceptual rather than data based. Why Pat stopped presenting papers with original data, and why he started giving more thematic talks. The difference, from Pat’s perspective between giving a talk and writing a journal article. A brief history of BoysTown. Just what is the Circumstantial View of problem behavior? Some examples from Pat’s life where he failed to take the Circumstantial View of behavior. Why the Circumstantial View has failed to flourish? How supervisors can incorporate these views with trainees and other team members? Why it is important to tell a real-life story as a vehicle for explain a behavioral principles. Why Pat’s view of Walden Two has changed. Movies that demonstrate both the Circumstantial and Characterological View of behavior. And much more! During this conversation, we discussed many papers and other resources. I've done my best to capture all of them below: The paper that inspired this podcast, "There is no such thing as a bad boy: The circumstantial view of problem behavior." The JABA Homepage. Pat Friman's appearances on Behavioral Observations (Session 10, Session 16, Session 42, and Session 77). Goldiamond (2002). Toward a Constructional Approach to Social Problems: Ethical and Constitutional Issues Raised by Applied Behavior Analysis. Pat's TedTalk. The short film Pat referenced. The DailyBA clip we discussed (Pink Sweater/Didn't Know her Circumstances). This Way of Thinking (CE/Short film by Team OnLocation). Session 72: Compassionate Service Delivery. Quotable Quote: “When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” – Alexander Den Heijer. Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman. A Clockwork Orange. Walden Two. In keeping with previous Inside JABA Series podcasts, there will be no ads in this episode. However, this show happens to be eligible for BACB Continuing Education.

#4. My guest today is Pat Flynn, host of The Smart Passive Podcast and the Ask Pat Podcast, two shows which combined have totaled 60 million downloads and have won multiple awards. Based in San Diego California, Pat owns several successful online businesses, is a professional blogger, keynote speaker, and is also a Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author. His podcast shows have been featured in the New York Times and Forbes. Pat’s mission is to ‘elevate entrepreneurs to within reach of their dreams.’ Visit https://JasonLinett.com/4/ now to view the complete show notes, watch the video podcast, and access a complete transcription. Pat joins me today to share his experience when his envisioned future was taken away from him in the economic crash of 2008. He shares the solace he found from his favourite childhood movie BACK TO THE FUTURE and how this sparked his ideas on how our present actions determine our future stories. We discuss the catalyst moments that can give you the self-belief to go out and build your own business and create your own future. We also discuss the internal struggles Pat had to allow himself to continue on the new path of monetizing his guidance and advice, and the doubting questions he asked of his own abilities at the beginning of his journey that ultimately proved unfounded when his business soared. Most importantly… I get Pat’s recommendation for another must-watch movie for online entrepreneurs. “The amateur changes their act. The professional changes their audience” – Jason Linett  “There’s another human who’s out there on a run or on a walk or in their commute listening to the podcast. An actual human being who may, in fact, be there, who might need you right now about this thing that you're doing” – Pat Flynn “This idea of setting up the business in a way that was not just there to make money, but also was there as sort of designed in a way to accommodate to the lifestyle that I wanted” – Pat Flynn  “I want people to earn more money doing something that they didn’t know they could do” – Pat Flynn “I’m just the guy in the forest of online business with the machete upfront. I’m just kind of whacking the weeds for everybody so that I can make the path hopefully a little bit easier for you” – Pat Flynn  “When you can bring it down to earth and relate more to who it is you’re speaking to, it just makes that much more of an impact” – Pat Flynn “What I love about my audience is they come because they feel like they’re a part of something. They come because they feel like they belong” Pat Flynn “We’re in this together and I’m not just here to teach you. I’m also here to learn from you too” – Pat Flynn This week on Hypnotic Language Hacks: How the 2008 financial crash became the rock bottom foundation of Pats new future How sharing failures as well as success strengthens the relationship with your clients Why Pat wanted a new way of working to accommodate his lifestyle The resources Pat shared in business to help others survive the recession How his transparency in his earnings and business practices reinforced Smart Passive Income as a brand to trust Why building your network need not be a slimy or sleazy endeavor How an early mistake in trademark infringement nearly made Pat give up Why a personal story increases client engagement Why you should remind yourself that there is a real human at the other end watching your YouTube video The FREE downloadable workshop you can access today Resources Mentioned: The Smart Passive Income Podcast The ASK PAT Podcast Book : Will it Fly?

So recently I've been talking a lot about my Impact to Income Academy, the 12-week program that I run for entrepreneurs who want to grow their impact and scale their income and live the life that they want. We talk about reflection and prioritization all the time. Entrepreneurs love to go go go, but if we never take the time to stop, we can't reflect and grow Sucess breeds success, and if we're not picking out the successors that we have in our businesses, then it's really hard to carry them forward, right? So today, we're going to talk about how you can reflect, make plans, and crush your business plan. Let's go! ________________________________________________________________________ What You Will Learn: - Why taking the time to consistently reflect creates a stronger, better business - How to reflect on the past without getting stuck in the past - Why Pat and I are having New Years 2.0 and how you can too - Why you can still reach your goals even though 2020 has been insane - What I'm teaching in the Impact to Income Academy - The importance of having a plan so you can have a target - How to schedule your reflection time every week ________________________________________________________________________ Where to find Jenn: www.instagram.com/thejennkennedy https://thejennkennedy.mykajabi.com/ImpacttoIncomeAcademy

PAT: Good morning! Thanks for having me. KEVIN: I'm excited to have our conversation. You know I always like to dig in and find out why people have joined eXp Realty before we get into some of the specifics about that. Why don't you for listeners who aren't familiar with you get a little of your background in sort of what led up to your decision to decide to join the realty. PAT: Sure yeah. So I've got a pretty life changing story so I've had my license in San Antonio from San Antonio, Texas had my license since the end of 2007 and actually got my license to do farm and ranch with a big broker based out of Hondo, Texas. I was doing farm and ranch part time I was doing medical sales full time in San Antonio. You know I did the whole traditional you know go to college and get a degree and get out of college and you know go get a good job in corporate America. So I did that for about five and a half years. And I really loved I was actually doing medical sales really love medical sales. You know a great income from it you know learning a lot and many a lot of great people and doctors all around San Antonio. You know. But I was just kind of grinding. I was making great money but you know really working hard, 60 70 80 hours a week, and you know was kind of getting burned out of the whole corporate America rat race if you will and so I was looking to find a way to exit corporate America. And I actually found a way that the.. I'd say in 2010. I was able to actually exit corporate America and by Senior Home Care franchise. My dad was the CFO of a large senior home care franchise in San Antonio and I had the opportunity to buy an underperforming office from the corporate office and turned it into a franchise owned office which I owned and I did that for an investment for about three and a half years. So I took it from a two hundred twenty five thousand dollars in annual revenue to about a 1.3 million dollars in about three and a half years and ended up selling it in wanting to move back to San Antonio and get back into real estate on the residential side and so I did so and also alongside of doing that in real estate I actually was an investor in a startup digital media company which in about six months I lost over 300,000 dollars in that investment. So I had to make real estate work and I didn't want to join a big you know... KW office, Century 21 office, Remax office anything like that I wanted to start small and my business partner at the time with that digital media company actually introduced me to some brokers in San Antonio that were wanting to kind of start growing their boutique brokerage firm and so it was a great fit. And so I did so joined forces with them and really found my passion and real estate help and you know what consumers are with the largest purchase of their life which is their home. So my first year in real estate I did 3.2 million dollars. You know again my passion wanted to start a team. My second year I started that team. We did 2.5 million in production, 61 transactions and you know was really wanting to take it to the next level having a lot of fun. And I got a life changing phone call by Scott Lewis my mentor and sponsor in San Antonio. One December Monday afternoon wanting to share EXP with me and at the time I wasn't looking to make a change. I was very happy I was comfortable and very loyal and wasn't really wanting to make a change. He called me and asked that I take a look at this business model and I did so two hours after I got the life changing phone call I needed to find another brokerage firm and I took a look at that business model and I was blown away. I was blown away with the opportunity for one. I was blown away with you know the model with the revenue share with a stock ownership and with the training and the lead generation tools that he provided. And so I actually called up Scott the next day and said hey listen you know on needing to make a change wanting to make a change. And I really like what I see. You know let's talk and so we ended up talking. And whenever I met Scott Lewis there was actually two other gentlemen there the name of Gene Frederick and Rob Flic at that table and so I ended up you know sitting down my dad that was with me. He's recently retired and my CFO of my real estate business and we went there and wanted to learn a little bit more about the eXp. And I was blown away by for one the eXp business model. For two what you know Gene Frederick and Rob Flic had done at a previous company. And you know why they came to eXp was just mind blowing. So I really wanted to listen and a 45 minute meeting turned into several hours and I was blown away with the numbers and with what they were wanting to do the eXp in the next several years and so I wanted to join forces with them and so I did that you know guys it got my attention. You know let's do this and after two hours after I left that meeting I got a call from a broker in San Antonio wanting to talk to me about kind of what he can do with me and for my team. And so we ended our talk and I said hey you know what I'm looking to make a change I'm going to be making a change probably over the eXp Realty and he said "hey listen give me at least one hour tomorrow. I want to talk to you about kind of what I can do and how I can help you with you and your team" so I said OK you know what I respect that. I'm open mind, I'll definitely listen to you I'm listening to eXp, I'll definitely listen to what you have to say in that company was known as KW. KW is a great company and I had the opportunity to listen to that broker and to kind of make a long story short you know he was.. you know wanting to give me a lot of perks to come over to KW And so at the end of the conversation I was really leaning still towards the eXp not only for myself but for my teammates and their fans. I knew I needed to make a right decision to come over the eXp and really had my mind set on that and at the end of the conversation with that broker there at KW and I said hey listen you know can you answer these three questions. He said What do you got? I said for one can you give me revenue share. Not profit share he said "no I can't do that. You know that's not a business model". I said okay can you give me stock ownership and he said "no you know we're not publicly traded I can't do that". I said OK great. Can you give me conversion for free to help me generate massive amounts of buyer and seller leads from my team. He said no again you know that's not our business model I can't do that it's very expensive. I said OK you know what you just have to make my decision you know I'm going to eXp. And he literally lift me he said man you're going to go. And I said you know what it's not about really doing good, it's about providing and having the best brokerage firm and truly you know why I'm so blessed to be a part of eXp. And I said you know this is... I can offer this to other agents you know we're truly the first agent own cloud based brokerage firm. You know that I can offer all these perks to you know these other agents all across the country and so fast forward to eXp, 26 months I've been here eXp. Super blessed super excited about the opportunity some success that I've had and I personally introduced eXp to 26 agents out of those 26 agents. I've built a revenue shore organization of about 685 spanning 32 states and Canada in the last 26 months so you know this is only the beginning. I'm super excited about this opportunity super blessed to be a part and be in business with a lot of legends in the industry like our own Gene Frederick and it's truly a game changer and you know I'm looking forward to a growing eXp alongside of a lot of other rock stars. KEVIN: Fantastic and then that's a great overview and for listeners I want to come back and touch on some things and get back to talk a little bit more about it. Because you're out there now talking about eXp you're traveling you're actually on the road today in Raleigh. You made a comment that you said you weren't looking to make a change when you were approached and you were happy.I can tell you that when Gene and I talk to just about everybody, that is the default position and not that we think that it's kind of like it's not like a retail store when you go in and somebody says can I help you say I'm just looking. Now we get it the best prospects that ultimately end up joining eXp are the ones that say just what Pat did. I'm happy I'm not looking to make a change. And then they become intrigued. I had a broker that was a good friend of mine. I was actually because I do a management consulting. It was a client of mine and I asked him to look at eXp for the purpose of the fact that I knew he was typically acquiring brokers and he would know of candidates and I said Have you passed on that you think we should talk to he said well send me some information. I sent him a couple of videos and some other information and he called me on Monday and said this is probably going to blow you away but I think that we're going to convert our brokerage to eXp. He was so far from a prospect right I respected the fact that we were a longtime client relationship and I wasn't trying to necessarily do that. I wanted to get his take on it as do I should talk to and that's fairly typical. Pat's story is typical and then the other thing I want to touch on because you talked about revenue share and I agree with you. Gene Frederick and I come from KW We were both in leadership. We both were team leaders. You know he had involvement as a regional owner you know for those of you listening regardless of what franchise system you're in - here's great places to work in real estate. You have to make your personal decision where you want to be. But when Pat's talking about how many states would you say it was 32 or 37?. PAT: That's right. Yes I'm actually in 32 states and Canada. KEVIN: Ok so 32 states and Canada. So what Pat has built as a business. And I want to translate that for listeners that are in a franchise system is he's getting paid like a regional owner would out of a franchise system. So if you're not familiar with let's say you're an agent and you're not familiar with how this works in a big franchise system the regional owners have purchased typically for millions and millions of dollars a region and the franchise royalties and or other compensation gets paid off the top and they get paid based on Agent count. In other words if there's a thousand agents in their region they get paid off the top. And essentially if I want to give it a different term other than the regional income stream I would call a revenue share right because it's coming off the top. It may be royalty but let's not get stuck on what it's called. So and I bring that up for a couple of points and I know Pat I'm just preaching to the choir with you because you get this. Don't ever let anybody tell you that revenue sharing is not a sustainable model. If you're sitting in a franchise system and your team leader or a managing broker is telling you that revenue share will never work. Ask them how do the regional owners get paid in my region. And they're going to have to essentially described your revenue share. And so what Pat has created in the span of less than two years or actually a little over two years at this point right. Is a almost 700 agent region in Canada and the United States. And I would imagine your region is growing pretty quickly. How many people are you adding on a monthly basis. PAT: You know what...? Yeah that's a great question. It's rolling honestly by about a 130 agents now per month. Just like anything you know I built a foundation. But you know what. It's been a lot of fun. Yes it's been hard work. It's not easy but you know I do a lot of presentations all across the country just like I'm getting ready to do another lunch alone today here in Raleigh with my leader here. It's truly made in real estate fun again. You know I was grinding for two years at that boutique brokerage firm on that hamster wheel as I call it just kind of tunnel vision just wanting to grow grow grow grow grow. And I was only as good as my last sale. And you know I didn't have an exit strategy I didn't even really know what an exit strategy was. Whenever Scott Lewis sat down with means that Pat you know you're two years into this role say business you know you're doing some good things you know you put up some good numbers for your second year in the industry you know 12 and a half million dollars in volume. What is your true exit strategy and I said you know Scott I don't have an exit strategy. Even know what an exit strategy is in real estate. You know I just sold my business I just invested into a startup lost a lot of money. You know I'm not looking to exit real estate that I'm looking to keep on growing. You know I'm a young guy. You know I said the only thing I could think of is you know I want to get my team's production in the next five to seven years up to 75 to 100 million dollars in production for a year so that I can afford to invest in real estate. I can afford to put money away. I can afford to slow down if I choose to. So I really wasn't looking to exit the industry said about you know take a look at this business model. I can show you how to do that in the next two to three four years alongside of your production in alongside of acquiring stock at eXp because we are a true agent owned brokerage firm. I was just blown away. So for me I'm building a massive exit strategy alongside of selling real estate. I've got a team in San Antonio. We do anywhere from about 9 to 12 million dollars a year every single year. In San Antonio in our production I'm looking to grow that as well because you know we are a brokerage firm first but you know what. You know we're a true agent owned brokerage firm that you know I can offer agents you know an exit strategy through the revenue share program the revenue share model with the agents that want to help us grow. You don't have to attract agents to the company but why wouldn't you want to attract agents to the company and grow this company that you're a shareholder of. And then another beautiful thing to is... At eXp you know you can acquire stock six different ways which I'm not a big stock guy but you know what the stock's gone from 6 to 2 cents a share Whenever I join twenty six months to go up to over 12 dollars a share it's gone as high as seventeen dollars a share. So you know that's truly amazing you know the agent count has gone from 800 agents whenever I joined 26 months ago to surpassing over 8000 agents just a few weeks ago here at a company and so you know the growth is there in the caliber of agents that are coming on board is just truly amazing just like the other group there in San Diego, California you know Carl Whistle and his whole entire group and then he's attracted a few other big leaders out there in San Diego California bringing over a half a billion dollars in production. You know that tells you something right there. KEVIN: And that's a great point. I mean it's one of those things where you know in my manager consulting practice and we also did coaching to brokers and large rainmakers from teams. There is a coming change in the production business where you know people have a successful business you talked about a three or four that joined the deal a half a billion in production. There's plenty of people that do 10 million 20 million 30 million a year. And there's the change that we see occurring and eXp realty is driving this is there is a another business model to look at other than just more production more markets more growth just in the team and people are looking at this as a business that is in addition to their production. And so you described a couple of things and I want to go back and make sure if somebody is listening to this and they want to basically dive in on eXp realty you should go back to whoever introduced you to eXp realty, ask them to plug you in with leaders. Before we wrap up today Pat's going to give his information and Gene Frederick, myself, Mitch all of the leadership in eXp Realty is available as a resource right. Doesn't matter how you got exposed to the eXp Realty. That's right. We want to help you make a good decision. Get the due diligence so whoever got you exposed to eXp Realty can get you connected with leadership people that can get you the right due diligence materials. Now one of the steps that we see a lot of agents go through whether they're a rainmaker for a team or just an agent is they go to a lunch and learn. So Pat will you describe what they're going to typically see in other words sometimes people are a little bit apprehensive right there like well I don't have my broker to know that I'm looking because you know that could have consequences. What is the process you walk somebody through let's say somebody is listening to this and they do 20 million dollars a year. They've got a team and they want to figure out about eXp realty. PAT: Sure that's a great question. You know we do lunch and learns you know every single week in San Antonio opening Friday at Ruth's Chris. And you know anybody that's listening that's in San Antonio definitely you know can reach out to myself loved to invite you as my special guest. But you know the lunch and learns are really for like an intro to eXp if you haven't seen the model you know come check it out. We do about a 45 minute presentation or so then we kind of open it up for Q and A. There's a lot of guests there each week. There's a lot of other eXp agents as well with their guest and it's a lot of fun. You know we've got videos that we can send you to you know take a look at the business model you know on your own. Obviously everything's confidential but if you want to come out and see a live presentation you're more than welcome we've got lunch and learns you know going on all across the country and on get ready day one here again in Raleigh, North Carolina today. One of my team leaders actually did a big lunch and learn in Miami, Florida on Tuesday. You know we've got our weekly one in San Antonio every single Friday. We also have live webinars every single week as well on Tuesdays. And so you can definitely come and plug yourself in. But you know it's a lot of fun. You know this a business model. Like I said it's getting agents excited. It's a lot of fun to share this model just like I got a life changing phone call by Scott Lewis 26 months ago. You know now I'm able to reciprocate and give that life changing phone call to other agents like I did here in Raleigh, North Carolina with one of my leaders about 16 months ago. Great agent came from local banker and you know what I shared with him 16 months ago out of eXp has truly changed his life, changed him families life, changed his financial future as well too so however you want to see it if you want to see it you know privately you can definitely see it privately. We've got a resource here where we can send you some you know pre-recorded videos like Jean-Frederic got awesome eXp explain video that he did several months ago I believe in Florida and then also we've got live webinars we've got live lunches and so how you want to see it. Now if it's you know confidential definitely you know confidential for you guys but come on out let us know we're here to help. We're here to have fun and you know basically just educate yourself on this business model that's changing and disrupting the real estate industry. KEVIN: Fantastic. For anybody listening for rolling down the road and listening in your car or away from your computer. The show notes for the podcast will have an introductory video you can watch about seven minutes or so on eXp Realty, the video that Pat references where Gene Frederick is presenting and it was in Florida I think it was last August will be linked in the show notes as well. Pat before we wrap up this session. How would if somebody is listening to this and they want to get a hold of you. What's the best way to reach you? PAT: Sure. You know the best way is just my cellphone number. You know I've got my cell phone glued to me every single day. My cell phone number is that area code 210 693 8711 again 210 693 8711. And just give me a call. Shoot me a text whatever it is and I definitely would love to answer any questions that anybody has. In that scene. Just like what you're saying you know this business model is so unique and so different that I help out everybody that's interested. In the opportunity and the business model with eXp I help out a lot of agents that are not even in my drug reps organization because you know what if I help them out and they end up joining eXp that going help the company grow and how I get a benefit from it while I'm at a benefit from it from the age of ownership can the stock side of it if they're in my revenue share organization that are benefiting from their success and revenue sharing. So I'd benefit either way. And so it's a great business model where the agents come together and truly want to help everybody grow. You know these agents are not my competitors these agents are my colleagues they're my shareholders. You know we're all shareholders together and we're all in this together so everybody wants to collaborate and help each other out. I've never seen anything like this. I've been a part of a lot of Fortune 500 medical companies own my own business. I've sold my own business and truly this is something that I've never seen before. You know the leadership alone at eXp is just truly remarkable. We've got a ton of great leaders we're adding more leaders to the corporate staff. You know every single month and so to be a part of this and the see eXp grow, it is just truly life changing. KEVIN: Well and we appreciate you coming on because I want to reiterate what you're saying which is it doesn't matter if it's Gene Frederick, it's Pat it's me or anybody else. We're available as a resource and it doesn't matter because we're all shareholders in this and I think I'm glad you brought that up because from the outside and from the franchise systems that doesn't normally occur right. You know you're going to get referred to a managing broker or a team leader and they're all little islands. Well what the market is starting to learn is eXp realty is all pointed in the same direction and we have one goal which is to make sure people if they are a good match for eXp realty because frankly not everybody is. That's right. We're certainly having a lot of people join we had close to 1000 agents in January of 2018 joined and you talked about having less than that in the entire company when you join. So again it shows you the growth. PAT: That's right. KEVIN: So Pat I appreciate you coming on and we'll talk to again soon I'm sure. PAT: You bet. Thanks for having me Kevin.

Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income Blog and the Smart Passive Income Podcast is an entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, speaker, author, and an all around great guy. He one of the OGs of the Internet. It doesn’t matter how many people you talk to, some of them will say they got started after listening to his podcast or reading his blog. Pat is the author of two books. Let Go and his newest book Will It Fly. I’ve talked to him in the past before he launched his books, now it is time to take a peak on the other side  after launching his books. When Pat wrote Let It Fly he wanted to create a book about a topic that people wanted to learn about. Instead of writing what he wanted to write about. He asked questions, used surveys and polled his audience to find that correct topic. Then he went beyond this and used several methods to validate the process. Including a bold and unique process that he writes about in Will It Fly.   You can find Pat here: Smart Passive Income Smart Passive Income Podcast Pat Flynn on Twitter @PatFlynn Pat on Facebook @smartpassiveincome Let Go by Pat Flynn Will It Fly? Book   Show Notes [01:49] Why Pat wrote Will It Fly. He always knew he wanted to write another book and a business book at that. [02:29] He tried to discover what would help the most people to find a topic to write about. With surveys and conversations, he discovered that people struggled with finding a business idea. [03:29] He also used his Ask Pat Podcast to find out what people really wanted to know. [04:00] He also asked random people on his email list to pay him $10 to show that they would actually buy the information.   [04:53] Fears and unknowns are what scare people when starting a business. [05:32] Validation experiments buying AdSense ads by Tim Ferris.[06:59] Why Pat chose to self-publish. [08:55] The book also became a Wall Street Journal Bestseller. [11:19] Pros and cons of self-publishing and timelines. Pat hired an accountability coach. [12:21] He had notes all over his office and then he used rev to record each chapter and have them transcribed. This was a giant messy first draft. [13:32] This method saved a lot of time, but the challenge was editing the draft. He only kept about 10%. [16:09] How authors make the mistake of not sharing with their audience before the launch date. [17:14] He also used two editors to catch everything that needed to be edited. [17:47] Pat was open to iterations and changes because the book was getting better and better. [18:54] When just starting out plant a seed and tell people the book is coming. [19:56] Forming a launch team and getting people involved in early access and leaving reviews and sharing on launch day. [22:21] He had a great designer that made everything look great. Kindle books need to be designed and formatted too. [23:29] Write before the launch he shared a lot more detail on his blog and podcast.[23:53] He didn't sleep the night before launch day. He had a launch party and sent an email to his list of 150,000 people.[24:52] Quick tip - give yourself enough time for the Kindle version to get published. Give yourself time to get everything done. Make sure the Kindle and hardcopy book get listed on the same page. [26:55] He also went to a studio and made an audio version. He got it all recorded in 2.5 days. [27:32] The importance of collecting email address. He used a free course that is a walk along course with the book. The book and course reference each other. [30:06] He got the course idea from his favorite show Walking Dead and their story sync website. [32:31] He sold 12,000 paperbacks and 5,000 ebooks and he got on the Wall Street Journal ebook list. [35:23] Top movers of books were Pat's list, and podcast guest appearances, he did about 60 interviews that were posted in a two-week time span. [36:33] He had relationships with many of the people who helped out. He also tried reaching out with a personalized video. [38:14] He also used his normal platforms like a blog and his podcast and he wasn't shy about asking people to buy. [43:00] Pat's parting advice is to get validation for your idea or maybe even try a guest post and see if it is engaging or use it as a lead magnet. Validate on a small scale first.   Links and Resources: self-publishingschool.com Spsfreetraining.com 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris Rev Daniel Decker teachable Will It Fly?

Joining us on the podcast today is Pat Langley founder of Vaikobi. Pat left a successful career building a large Sailing technical apparel brand to strike out on his own and address what he saw as a big gap in the paddle sports market. Designing technical apparel for the paddle sports athlete. Pat recognized that most of the major brands were focused on either white water or touring gear and no one was  serious about developing clothing that was optimized for paddle athletes pushing their heart rates to the max on the water. When I first laid eyes on the Vaikobi gear in late summer of 2013 I knew immediately that this was a brand TC SURFSKI would get behind. Without having a chance to try the gear, the style alone was in a league of its own.  But of course, upon using the gear I quickly realized the function was even better. Pat and his team have done an amazing job evolving the line-up and as we go into our 5th season representing Vaikobi I’m more excited than ever. While it is great to talk about the gear, it is even better to hear the full story behind how it came to be. In this podcast we cover: Pat’s beginnings growing up in Sydney Australia as a competitive sailor with salt water in the veins A short stint sailing in Japan after University and then starting his first real job in the Classic Sports Wear space Moving from Sports wear into working for a large technical sailing apparel brand First thoughts on starting a paddle sports apparel brand Ripping off the corporate band-aid and plunging feet first into a small start-up business Coming up with the name Vaikobi - (teaser - in the Polynesian Language Via = Water and Kobi = God, but Pat and team only put this together after the name was decided) What Pat and the team sought to accomplish with the launch of their first lines of apparel Why Pat and team take a conservative approach to new product development and focus first and foremost on function over style Launching the first PFD to address a need in Australia for high visibility on the water The process of getting a PFD certified by the different international agencies and why they are not US Coast Guard Approved Packing up, renting the house for a year, and taking the family on a year long trip around the world to visit dealers and customers and experience the different surfski markets first hand Insights and experiences meeting all the various surfski characters around the world and seeing first hand how the markets and paddle cultures are different but also the same Improvements coming in the new vCold range just released Some uses for the vCold range you may not have thought of (hint: it might have to do with Nordic Ski Racing) The all new PINK PFD launching in June Pat’s secret to success:  listen, adapt and evolve
