An exclusive invitation to join our Superfans Launch Team [Smart Digest]
The SMART Digest
Useful content, powerful tools, and exclusive deals from Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income.
Hi, Jaco!
There's a lot of change happening around here lately, both at home and in the SPI office! Busy school days are evolving into busy summer days—Kai is ready for arts and crafts camp and Keoni is ready to play some tennis.
Transformation is also happening at the office, where we're continuing to build out our new space at WeWork and filming every part of the process! Subscribe to my YouTube channel to see the transformation as it happens! Caleb and I are stoked to see the manufacturing and packaging process for the SwitchPod coming along (we're still on schedule!). There's definitely a lot going on.
The countdown continues for FlynnCon! The SPI Team is deep into making sure that you'll be able to make the best connections, get the best information, and be inspired to Press Start on your vision for your future. This week we sent the FlynnCon Yearbook (aka conference program) to the printer, and are nailing down signage options for the event space. It's hard to believe our first conference is about a month away!
And I can't leave out the launch of Superfans, which is in less than two months! If you want to be a part of the launch team, see below for more information. I hope you'll come on board.
Enjoy this summer weekend, and I'll see you next week!

I hope you're as excited as I am about the August 13 launch of Superfans. If you want to be a really important part of this magical moment, join our Superfans Launch Team! It's super easy to do, and you'll get to join a private Facebook group where you can interact with me and others on the team.
To be a part of it, you need to fill out the sign up form and then pre-order the book via Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Once you're signed up and pre-ordered the book, you will receive an advance digital review copy of the book. In exchange, you'll be asked to read the review copy of the book, leave a review on Amazon / Goodreads, and just generally help spread the word about the book.
Oh, by the way, when you pre-order you'll also receive some additional bonuses, including a free copy of the audio book (which will be sent to you via email on the day of the launch), and an invitation to a free 90-minute training call with me on August 16 at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
The deadline to sign up for the launch team is July 8. That's coming up fast! I hope you'll join us.
Here's what's been happening at SPI HQ this week.
- What is my new book, Superfans, about? And who is it for? I'm glad you asked! On a very special episode of AskPat, I answer questions about Superfans, which will be out August 13. Pre-order for a free audiobook and training today!
- Retail arbitrage. It sounds complicated, but in reality it's pretty simple: buying things at a low price to sell them somewhere else at a higher price. SPI Podcast episode 377 is all about making retail arbitrage work for you on the world's largest marketplace, Amazon.
- Meet Janna, our content director, and join her as she recounts a week in her busy life making sure our entire content operation runs smoothly. Oh, and by the way, she's a big fan of the Post-it Note method I use for brainstorming and writing!
Here's a collection of interesting reads from me and Team SPI. Enjoy!
- "Pivot." It's a term that's entered our shared dictionary. And a lot of entrepreneurs say they're willing to pivot their businesses when the need arises. But, as business school professor Jacqueline Kirtley talks about in this episode of the Knowledge@Wharton podcast, what does "pivoting" really look like, and what does it really mean?
- Do you love memoir as much as we do? Here's a list of memoirs that the New York Times names as the 50 best memoirs of the past 50 years. It's an interesting list, which includes The Liar's Club by Mary Karr, and This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff. Do you agree with their choices?
- Remember the Winklevoss twins, the two guys who accused Mark Zuckerberg of stealing their idea for a social sharing platform that Zuckerberg ended up calling Facebook? Well, they're back in the news, and apparently the tables have turned and the "Winkelvii" have ended up doing quite well for themselves after all. Here's an excerpt from Bitcoin Billionaires, a new book by Ben Mezrich.
Need some ideas and tips for working smarter? Here are a few resources I want to recommend!
- To manage the information constantly flowing into her life via email, social media, blogs, and so on, our content director, Janna, tells us in this week's blog post, that she uses Pocket. If articles you want to read are falling through the cracks, Pocket lets you save them and find them when it's convenient, across devices.
- It's the small changes that can make a world of difference in our personal and business lives. In his book Atomic Habits, James Clear—creator of The Habits Academy training platform—offers actionable items and practical strategies for creating good habits.
- Michael Ventura believes that empathy is your best creative tool. Check out this video where he talks about how empathy can make you a better leader, collaborator, and contributor to society.
Here are some special deals and discounts for #TeamFlynn!
