How to see the Matrix code of lies & deceit

I wish everyone had the experience of being a political consultant. You read headlines backward: you know that a goal is chosen first, then a message to scare/lure people toward it, then finally the science is cherry-picked and the talking points sent out to 1000s of surrogates.
===
A rare instance of honesty from someone who works in politics.
And it’s the main reason why I don’t even watch the news.
Why give my precious time and attention to liars?
I don’t care if we’re talking about elections or the weather:
It’s all a pack of curated lies.
It all has a Narrative.
And it all has some kind of agenda that 99% of the time is not going to be beneficial to me, my family, my friends, my business, my customers, or even my dog.
I am bringing this up for 3 reasons:
1. As a general rule, whatever the news headlines say, if your first reaction is simply “Bull shyt!” you’ll make far fewer bad decisions in life.
This applies to every advertisement you read too.
(Yes including any coming from me — always test the spirits, so to speak…)
And it especially applies to anything a politician says.
2. The ability to try to “break” information you receive — whether from me or anyone else — to see if that information holds water or not is as invaluable a skill as you can learn.
This includes trying to break your own beliefs, assumptions, and ideological bents.
i.e., the actual scientific method.
Something hardly anyone does even while virtue signaling on Facebook each day about believing in “sCiEncE!" or sharing “I f__ing love science!” memes, thinking they are suddenly Walter White because they watched a scripted interview with Fauci once.
The irony with that truly writes itself...
3. This is one of the main benefits of being a Profit Pirate coaching member.
Troy Broussard & I and the rest of the Pirate crew in the program are constantly trying to break our own assumptions and elevate our own thinking. When Troy does his weekly Booty Calls for all members… when he & I do our monthly ‘tag team’ hot seats to anyone who wants one… when I yell at my long-suffering Stefania during my secret “Ravings of an Adman!” podcasts (not found on iTunes, etc, only in the Profit Pirates app)… when Pirates beta test new features and software platforms (a perk of being a member) before anyone else… when our own team from the helpdesk to the chief developer to the COO Nicole English so much as opens the Profit Pirates app… we are constantly trying to “break” everything.
Our attitude is not:
“I have this great idea, let me prove it works!”
It’s…
“I think this thing about ___, now help me be WRONG about it…”
Contrast that to Facebook where everyone wants to be proven right.
We do the opposite.
We want to find the bugs in our software.
We want to find the cracks in our thinking.
And we want to find the gaps in our own business & marketing methodologies.
The Profit Pirates is like a sandbox for deep thinking, and it helps make all of us — trainers and clients alike — better thinkers, better business owners, and better marketers.
All right, end of sales pitch.
If you want in on the Pirates coaching program at before the price shoots up into the stratosphere, now is the time.
Tonight (July 9) at midnight EDT is the deadline.

P.S. Speaking of matrix code…
One of the monthly trainers inside is Matthew Peters — an Emmy Award-winning video director & cinematographer Troy consults for his own high-profit content, and who I have as well via our Learnistic platform. Matthew charges clients upwards of $30,000 per DAY to fly out and help them with their content, and his client list reads like a “who’s who” of world class internet marketers who get millions of hits on their YouTube, Vimeo, and other video content.
Which brings me to the Matrix:
Matthew sees everything, observes everything, and perceives everything video-related like Neo looking at the Matrix.
He knows the best equipment to use for specific situations (and it’s not always the expensive brands). He knows the best way to get the most out of talent you hire, interview, or put in your projects & case studies. And he knows how to add little “touches” (even a total tech newbie can do) that can make what would otherwise make someone look like an amateur with an iPhone look like a bonafide award-winning video wizard.
That’s what Matthew is going to be teaching on his Profit Pirates calls.
And it is all in “plain English.”
That way, you can take what he says, and apply it to your video projects (info products, webinars, VSLs, interviews, and anything else) to give your business a kind of prestige you can’t buy or pay for any other way.
The raw value for the price is insane.
But nobody ever accused me or Troy of being sane…
