It's NOT About The Clothes Pat Flynn Talks Style & Online Business With Antonio
[0:00:00] Antonio: Hey, guys.
So, I’m really excited this year this interview with you.
Pat Flynn is someone I have looked up to and I have learned a lot from when it comes to
online marketing.
I had the chance to spend time with him.
We did an interview.
We talked about style, we also talked about business.
I’m going to link to the full interview in the description of this video.
What I love about this guy is he’s achieving success on his terms.
He’s creating passive income streams, has made millions of dollars helping other people.
Pat Flynn is a star in an industry where, yeah, there’s a lot of people that are going
to scam you, Pat is not that guy.
He’s the real deal and I’m proud to call him my friend.
And, guys, get ready this interview is going to awesome.
[Music] Hey, Pat.
Pat: Yo!
What’s up, Antonio?
How are you, man?
Antonio: I’m good, man.
It’s a little bit cool out here.
I thought San Diego would we warmer.
Pat: I know.
I’m sorry.
You want to go on car ride I’ll warm you up a little bit?
Antonio: Yeah, that would be awesome, man.
Can you come pick me up?
Pat: Yeah.
I’ll get you right now.
Thanks, man.
Antonio: Cool.
Cool.
Yeah.
Pat: Bye.
Antonio: Oh, wow.
Pat: What’s up, man?
Antonio: This is a cool car.
Pat: Dude.
Finally, you’re here, bro.
Antonio: Yeah.
Thanks for having me.
Good to see you.
Pat: But, Antonio I just wanted to thank you first of all, you’ve helped me out so much
and I know you know this because I’ve told you before, but there’s a reason why I dress
this way and I’ve gotten so many compliments about how I dress...
Antonio: You have won like a contest, haven’t you like as the best-dressed guy?
Pat: Yeah, I have and it’s all because of you.
And the craziest part, Antonio, was like, okay, you taught me how to dress, I bought
some and invest in some nice clothes and I immediately just felt more confident.
Antonio: And that comes, you know, at a Northwestern University they talk about this, it’s called
enclothed cognition.
And it’s the idea that the clothing that we wear doesn’t just affect how others perceive
us, but how we perceive ourselves.
Pat: Both men and women who are watching this right now, what are some high level strategic
tips that you can give in terms of style, let’s go back to that.
I think that’s something that I admire you for is just how through that you’re able
to help us transform our lives.
Antonio: Well, first up, they have got to know there’s always a dress code whether
or not, I mean, no one’s going to say it’s a dress code at social media marketing world,
but you notice nobody’s walking around naked, so there apparently is one.
Pat: Right.
Or in sandals even.
Antonio: Yeah.
Well, there are a few people walking around in sandals.
Pat: We are in San Diego.
We are in San Diego.
Antonio: We are in San Diego.
But, you know it’s about controlling the message.
A lot of guys say they’re a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy, but you know what?
That’s a fashion trend.
It’s been going on for a while and so, what you’re really telling me is you haven’t
thought about it.
I think a lot of people lie to themselves and they say that it doesn’t matter, but
it does, otherwise, again, they wouldn’t wear anything or they would just wear a paper
bag or something.
What it really comes down to take the time to send the message you want to send and for
men it’s so powerful.
It’s just an easy way to up the ante.
So, with this conference, if you’re going to speak, why not go on stage in a nice jacket
that’s going to build up your shoulders, slim up your waistline, wear a nice red tie.
Red is a power signal.
There’s a classic study of a guy that he’s on video and he’s talking and he reads the
exact same script.
He wears a red sweater in one of the videos.
The next sweater, everything he’s saying expect it’s like a white sweater, there’s
almost no color.
Everyone believed the man in the red sweater, it’s much higher percentage of people agreed
and thought he was correct versus the no color sweater you know.
So, red has this powerful effect on being able to convince people that you are confident
that you are an authority.
But, if you can actually convey strength and you just without saying a word, why would
you not take this advantage.
It’s like playing a basketball game and immediately being offered ten points to start
the game.
Why would you not take that?
Pat: Right.
That’s really interesting.
That’s cool.
You want to continue this conversation outside for a little bit?
Antonio: Sure.
Let’s do it.
Pat: I’m just so inspired by your success and it just makes me...
Antonio: Well, thank you.
Well, I have to admit I mean it was your eBook.
You know years ago I think that’s how I got up on your radar, I just told you how,
yeah, you know, I followed your advice and created an eBook, The Seven Deadly Style Sins
which people can still download.
Pat: Ebooks the Smart Way.
Antonio: Yeah, Ebooks the Smart Way.
Pat: Dude, congratulations on all your success.
Antonio: Thank you.
Pat: Thank you so much for the help.
Antonio: I appreciate you, Pat.
I mean friggin’ phenomenal resource.
I love what you do.
And I tell people it’s like, you know, you’ve got an amazing trust factor with your people
because you always you bring an amazing smart people and it’s always about authenticity
and about the real deal from you putting up your numbers to actually, I mean you being
the real deal to going after haters in the sense of I’ve got like show them that like
I’m – I’m a real person.
I mean everyone sees how much you love your audience and you care about them and that’s
to me that’s the secret to your success is you just love your customers you love your
audience.
Pat: Well, I mean that’s the secret just care just like you do you for your own niche
too.
Antonio: Yeah.
Pat: So, guys, thank you so much for watching this.

I’m also going to link to some of my favorite videos that Pat has put out.
Guys, he’s the real deal.
And just an amazing person that I’ve learned from has had a huge impact on how I’ve developed
out Real Men Real Style.
If you have something to offer, if you ever want to meet me and all of these guys that
you’re checking out on YouTube, make sure to come out to our Menfluential event.
You guys know that that is something I’ve created so you can come hangout and meet me
in person, meet with Aaron Marino, meet with Ryan Masters, meet with Jose Zuniga, Raphael
Schneider, Brock of the Modest Man, Baron of the Effortless Gent.
I brought us together, so that you can have a real impact and you can improve your life.
Guys, that’s what my channel is all about, it’s not about style it’s not about image,
it’s about you leveraging these tools to get what you want out of life.
Guys, take care.
I will see you in the next video.
[Music] Bryant: The best part of the event I think
was meeting all these influencers and all the people that are giving talks were actually
experts in their fields.
After every talk, you get to connect with these people really share ideas bounce ideas
off of them and you get really honest opinions and suggestions.
Timmy: It definitely pushes me to pursue my goals more because I was kind of little bit
afraid to go into business or pursue my idea because I don’t know what to do initially.
But now, that you meet all these people I hear all these stories and all these lessons
today, I feel a lot more confident and I feel like I should have no excuse.
[Music] Antonio: Well, sort of.
Guys, notice the background is a little bit different.
I’m actually in my brother’s house.
I’m still on the road.
I’m in Nashville, Tennessee.
I’ll be heading on to Wisconsin here very soon.
But, yeah, they’re just downstairs, they just go back home, so I filmed this video
just in time.
