Matt Smith

Managing Director at Passim

Matt Smith 5: People looking back at the history of places and comparing now to then, and it simply doesn’t work. People always want to say “Well, this is the place where that happened. The end.” That’s what you’re known as. I just want to open people’s eyes to the fact that we’re always doing that. What happened then is happening now. The people that are coming are part of that now. It’s just as exciting. Without looking back and saying “Ooh boy, I really missed that, I wish I’d been there when that happened.” You are there while that’s happening. It’s happening again. It’s going to keep happening. And I think that’s a pretty exciting thing to be part of.
