Pat Flynn
About this episode

#797 It's one thing to come up with an idea for a business, but following through on your vision is another thing altogether. Today, I'm happy to introduce you to someone who has done just that. I met Dr. Yishan Xu in 2019 and she has since published almost two hundred episodes of her Deep Into Sleep podcast. Today, we discuss the pros and cons of running a bilingual business like hers, and how opening yourself up to audiences across the globe can help you scale faster. We also explore the benefits of starting a niche podcast for everything from improving your communication skills to forming relationships with key players in your space. Dr. Yishan is also diving into courses and community building and doing a fantastic job applying the strategies we often talk about on this show. Tune in to hear her amazing success story!
