Eso es ir preparado...

I watched a video this morning of a comedian named Goyo Jiménez, entitled "Españoles en la Luna". (it's funny, some of you might like it)
At one point he says: Claro que sí, Armstrong, eso es ir preparado con una frase, ¡Muy bien!
That interests me, "eso es ir preparado..." Is it a common construction? Can I get some more examples?

-Arreglaste bien el coche, ¡eso es ser un buen mecánico!.
-Lo hiciste aunque nadie creía que pudieras, ¡eso es tener buena voluntad!.
