We Joined Pat Flynn's Smart Passive Income Podcast

For more than a decade, we’ve been documenting adventures, filming challenges, creating YouTube videos, and learning what it really takes to build a business online.

Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with entrepreneur, bestselling author, and podcast host Pat Flynn on the Smart Passive Income (SPI) Podcast to share our journey — from three young girls filming science experiments in the backyard to building a creator brand with more than a billion lifetime YouTube views.

The conversation wasn’t just about YouTube. It was about resilience, creativity, entrepreneurship, and what it means to grow up while building a business online.

From Backyard Videos to a Million-Subscriber Community

During the interview, we shared how Wild Adventure Girls first began over eleven years ago.

What started as educational videos, animal adventures, and science experiments slowly grew into something much bigger. Along the way, we learned how to tell stories, connect with an audience, and eventually build a business around doing what we love.

Pat asked about those early days — filming with our mom, entering a children’s film competition, and the moment we realized content creation was something we wanted to pursue long-term.

Building a Brand Instead of Just a YouTube Channel

One of our favorite parts of the conversation was talking about how much Wild Adventure Girls has evolved.

Today, our content includes:

• Adventure videos
• Comedy challenges
• Mystery investigations
• WAG Nation
• The WAG Podcast
• Live streams
• Shorts
• Merchandise
• Brand partnerships

Rather than thinking of ourselves as “just YouTubers,” we’ve been intentionally building a media brand that can continue growing for years to come.

What Goes Into Every WAG Video

People often see the finished video without realizing how much planning happens before we ever hit record.

During the interview, we explained our creative process. Every video starts with an idea. From there we brainstorm possible titles, thumbnail concepts, locations, challenges, and story beats before creating an outline.

Instead of scripting every moment, we leave room for spontaneous reactions because those authentic moments usually become everyone’s favorite parts of the video.

Why We Started the WAG Podcast

Pat also asked about one of our newest projects: the WAG Podcast.

While our adventure videos let viewers experience exciting challenges with us, the podcast gives people a chance to get to know us on a much more personal level. We talked about creating episodes around topics teens genuinely care about, including friendships, dating, confidence, trends, and growing up.

Our goal is simple: we want listeners to feel like they’re hanging out with their older sisters.

Creating for One Person

One of the biggest lessons we discussed was understanding your audience.

Instead of trying to make videos for “everyone,” we created a detailed picture of our ideal viewer. We even gave her a name: Skyler.

She’s fifteen years old, loves hanging out with friends, enjoys shows like Outer Banks and Stranger Things, and wants content that’s funny, relatable, and feels like she’s part of the group.

Thinking about one real person helps guide nearly every creative decision we make.

Dealing With Hate Comments

One of the most meaningful parts of the conversation focused on something almost every creator experiences: negative comments.

As creators, we’ve learned that criticism comes with putting yourself on the internet. Rather than letting those comments define us, we’ve chosen to focus on the people who genuinely enjoy our videos and support what we’re building.

Pat shared his own experiences with online criticism, making it one of the most honest conversations of the episode.

Looking Beyond YouTube

The conversation also explored what comes next. While YouTube will always be a huge part of what we do, we’re equally excited about expanding into new areas.

We talked about future goals including:

• Publishing books featuring Bubba and Friends
• Growing our podcast
• Launching new businesses
• Building fashion brands
• Creating online courses
• Speaking at creator conferences like VidSummit and VidCon

For us, YouTube isn’t the finish line. It’s the foundation for something much bigger.

A Conversation We’ll Never Forget

Being invited onto the Smart Passive Income Podcast with Pat Flynn was an incredible milestone for our team.

As longtime fans of entrepreneurship and creator education, it was exciting to talk openly about our journey, the lessons we’ve learned over the past eleven years, and where we’re headed next.

We’re incredibly grateful to Pat and the SPI team for the opportunity and for creating such a thoughtful conversation.
