Regardless of your feelings on cashing in on your social capital, it's clear that reputation goes a long way. Yes, it doesn't come cheap but the results come from long-term, compound effort. I don't doubt the 25,000 hours Matt quoted in that pitch. But the long-term, compound effort is an important catalyst. (You guys might know it as 'hustle'.) I can second what auston (and others) have echoed about Matt. I had the pleasure of having Matt do a presentation on Price Hacking for Hack and Tell in South Florida (where he's very active in the community) and it was easily one of the best presentations we've hosted.
