Business movie, The Matrix.
Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Where we discuss a lot of business ideas, we talk about principles, tactics and strategies to help you with your business.
I saw this movie years ago in the theate and today's talk is going to be about this movie, but also about what leads me to talk about this movie.
So this is an old DVD. This is one of the original DVDs that I owned, I got a DVD player, I believe in around 2000, 2001, probably, that I received my first DVD player and this was one of the first DVDs I got.
I was so excited about it. It looked so good if you went from back in those days, you went from VHS cassettes, to DVDs, that was a huge step forward, in the visuals and everything else.
It's just amazing what was available, both insight and sound that the DVDs brought to the world. This is my original copy.
This is my original copy of the case, the DVD disappeared years ago, I don't know where it went, I held on to the case forever because I was hoping that the DVD would show up.
Nowadays, you could watch it through different streaming services. I think HBO is showing it right now because they are also showing the newest Matrix movie Matrix.
I believe it's Matrix Revolutions, which I haven't seen yet but I wouldn't be rewatching all of these. Now, how does this apply to business?
I'm going to tell you that in a second. But first, I'm going to tell you how I came about this. It's stupid for me to hold on to this. This thing is called the trash all it is a cover.
It has no value whatsoever. It brings nothing to my life but it's part of an issue that I've had for a long time, which I refer to myself as a casual hoarder.
I don't really hold on to things because I need to hold on to them. I'm not I'm not an over the top hoarder.
But I do hang on to things a lot longer than I should. And one of the ideas I came up with years ago, I knew if I could tell the story about the thing that I have, then I can get rid of it. And I won't have to hold on to it anymore. It's kind of a strange deal.
I can ever go through the process of making videos or audios about each of these things because it just seemed like it didn't have anything to do with business or anything else.
So I'm going to try to find a way for some of these items that I get, tie it back into business and talk to you about it, and then I can toss it away. So this is going to be a sub-series.
One of the sub-series that I have is on like business movies, business books, and so forth. So while this is part of the business books sub series, this is also the first of a sub series on casual hoarding.
This is, The Matrix.
Let me talk about the movie to give you kind of a basis of this, if you haven't seen this movie, or haven't seen it recently, it's worth watching or rewatching.
For one of the things, there's a lot if you watch it with somebody younger, you'll notice that a lot of the technology that was pretty high end at the time, and kind of playing off of the growing concept of the internet is very antiquated nowadays.
So that's kind of a funny thing too but overall, this is a mythic journey.
The hero's journey, from beginning to end, you could tie directly to the story of Jesus Christ or any ...
