Jun- I’m trying to help those who work in marketing for larger companies. I work for a Fortune 50 and have several people working for me or at least through dotted line relationships. I’m constantly looked to for advice as I’ve moved up relatively quickly and I’d like to share that advice to others…it’s a tough nut to crack working in a large marketing organization with 100s or even 1000s of people well-trained in marketing.

Thanks for the great interview. I recently became a member of Matt’s Under30CEO community. I totally agree that it is important for someone to dig down and find out what that passion is and pursue it relentlessly. It’s tougher than people think to not get distracted. It’s a crazy world. Great interview.

It is all about creating your own opportunities. People do get lucky, but without the hard work to execute when you are given the chance, you have nothing.

Hey Jun it was an amazing talk with Matt! I totally agree that to get to a point where people start listening to you, you MUST put-in more than what you say should be enough.

Great great great work dude …. keep it up !

Matt Wilson is one of my favorite young entrepreneurs and i’ve been following him since I created a twitter account.

It does take time to sit down and figure out what you want in life. The people that want to separate themselves from the rest continue to search for answers and define their vision as they move on in life. Most of my college friends have no idea what they want to do after college. I think if they just have some short of idea they can lead themselves to the right direction.

It’s all about creating your opportunity. Great interview Matt!

Another fantastic interview with someone that I’ve yet to meet or follow, but will surely do so now!

I really connected with the topics that you guys talked about, especially the “immersion” concept about 3/4 of the way through. That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do early on in my blogging career. I had several people tell me that they could read an article almost anywhere about personal finance without seeing my name somewhere in the comments, etc… It enabled me to be an “accepted” member of the community very quickly. They other key is to make sure you are actually passionate about what you are getting into. People can really see through it if you fake it for long enough!

Great interview! Looking forward to meeting/getting to know Matt!
