The Affiliate Guy with Matt McWilliams: Marketing Tips, Affiliate Management, & More

I am so excited to share a special interview with the one and only Pat Flynn. This interview was recorded on April 10, 2020, the same day that deaths in the United States peaked from COVID-19. During this crazy time we're going through as a country and as a global society, many people have suddenly lost jobs, had their income go up in smoke, and are living in a fearful state. But there is hope. And I wanted to have Pat on to share what HE did back in 2008 when he lost his job and the economy was in shambles. What he went through (and I went through at the same time) is not much different than what we're going through today. He got through it. I got through it. We all got through it then. And we will get through this difficult time today as well.
