How Being Laid Off Could Become the Best Thing for your Income, with Pat Flynn

The MapleMoney Show

Can you live without internet? No, this isn’t an episode about cutting the cord, it’s what I had to do for half a week thanks to a damaged cable. Unfortunately, I couldn’t record a new episode without my connection to the outside world, but I did use the time to select an early episode that I think will inspire anyone that may have lost their job over the past year or more thanks to Covid.

Way back in episode three, Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income was kind enough to join me on the show to discuss his experience in being laid off from his job during the 2008 financial crisis, and how he managed to turn the experience into a positive. Pat dishes on past side hustles, including one that may not have been legal! He also explains what inspired his book, Let Go.

I really think Pat’s message is worth bringing back to what is now a larger audience here on The MapleMoney Show, even if my skills as a host were still “in progress”, thankfully Pat helped to make this a great chat!
