#570 Have you ever "matrixed" yourself? If you've seen the movie The Matrix, you know what I mean. It's like waking up to the reality of what's happening out there, and you're able to see things in a different way. And you can apply this idea to the world of marketing! It'll help you understand when you're being sold to, and why marketers do what they do. It's fun—and over the long haul, it'll help you strengthen your own marketing chops.

I’m really excited to introduce this world to you on today’s episode of the Smart Passive Income Podcast.

I love the approach Colin and Samir take with their podcast, and their goal and mission of helping creators by interviewing other creators. In fact, I love it so much that I want to spend some time today talking organically about why I love it, because I think it's really important to do this exercise with things that you enjoy.
