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

If you've ever been rejected, felt insecure, underestimated, or unsure whether you're "good enough" to achieve your dreams, this conversation will show you how a positive mindset and betting on yourself can turn rejection into redirection that leads to an even better opportunity.

In this powerful and inspirational episode, I'm sitting down with Hala Taha—an entrepreneur who hosts one of the top podcasts in the world (Young and Profiting) and built a media empire (YAP Media)—to uncover the story behind her rise from an unpaid intern to one of the most influential voices in podcasting and media.

Hala's journey to success certainly wasn't linear. She's been fired, rejected, overlooked, and discouraged, but with pure resilience and determination, she used each setback to sharpen her skills, build her brand, and expand her vision.

You'll hear how she used manifestation and affirmations to break through imposter syndrome and continued stacking skills to build a thriving media empire. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or simply ready for your next chapter, Hala's story proves that you don't have to wait for permission to succeed; you just need self-belief and a positive mindset to get started.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why Hala’s Dad has been a huge inspiration in her life and many others
• A positive mindset can turn rejection into a new opportunity
• How to create your own lane when gatekeepers say “no”
• Making the shift from an imposter syndrome mindset to an empowered one
• The power of skill stacking to fuel long-term success
• Why self-belief and the pursuit of excellence are business superpowers

One of the biggest contributors of stress that is impacting millions of Americans right now is financial anxiety and economic uncertainty. In fact, according to a recent survey, 70% of the population is feeling the impact of the current economy. Not just mentally, but there's also a physical toll when your overall health, diet, and sleep habits start to slip.

With that in mind, I'm sharing tips on mastering your mindset and three (3) simple steps that helped me turn things around from one of the darkest periods of my life in 2008, when I was drowning in debt, to doubling my income in just two months, even as the recession got worse.

Whether you're struggling with inflation and the rising costs of groceries and basic needs or simply feeling stuck, these three steps can help you take action today and improve your situation, starting from the inside out. And always remember that your peace of mind is not determined by your paycheck but by your perspective.
