About this episode

Pat Flynn and Matt Gartland discuss the sale of Smart Passive Income and the key decisions that made it an attractive asset.

#946 For a while, Smart Passive Income was synonymous with my name. Essentially, the whole business was built around the Pat Flynn personal brand. But now that I sold the company, it's interesting to look back at the key decisions that turned SPI into an asset someone would actually want to buy. And for that, I have my friend and business partner Matt Gartland to thank! He's the numbers mastermind who turned the brand I had duct-taped together into something that has grown well beyond my original vision. So join Matt and me for this session to get a look at the big sale from a spreadsheet perspective! We'll cover why and how we made sure the company was "built to sell," even though exiting SPI was never a goal for us. From building an in-house team to creating stable recurring revenue, Matt and I share a full look at the steps that led up to this moment! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session946 .
