    Jun 2 2025
    What holds us back from doing new things? The answer is often learning — there's too much information to absorb, and we get stuck trying to consume it all. Pat Flynn has a different model.

It's a way to learn information faster, and discard what isn't necessary. It's helped him launch new products, reach millions on YouTube, and stay focused while scaling. This episode will help you build a system for learning only what drives results. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
