I am really pleased to have a special guest on today’s podcast, Pat Flynn. Many of you will be familiar from his podcasts, his blog, his ebooks, and the products that he has created over the last few years. He is the blogger at smartpassiveincome.com, a blog where he documents his journey of building an income. He has been doing it since 2009, I think. I first interviewed Pat on ProBlogger in January of 2010 and I am going to include a link to that interview on today’s show notes. You can find today's show notes at problogger.com/podcast/85. That interview is kind of a bit of a funny one. The audio is not great but it’s me and Pat talking about what we knew back in 2010 about making money blogging, and it kind of gives you a bit of an introduction to Pat and how we started out. I think it’s kind of a funny but also kind of interesting interview, so I have included it in today’s show notes. Also on today’s show notes, there’s a whole heap of links to things that Pat mentions, some of the projects that he runs, and also a link to his brand new book which we talked about in quite a bit of depth today. 

His book is called Will It Fly. It’s all about trying to work out whether that crazy idea you’ve got in your head will fly, and really that’s what we’re talking about in today’s podcast. Getting those ideas out of our heads, and testing them, and working out whether they are valid or not, and taking them to that first step,
