In February 2011, I had the maven of mavens, Seth Godin, on the show to discuss the end of the industrial age. “So why are you so popular?” I asked the best-selling author, entrepreneur and teacher. “I notice things,” he explained. Luckily for all of us, nearly fourteen years later, Godin is still noticing things, especially the obvious stuff that most of us miss. The problem, as he notes in his new book, This is Strategy, is that we mostly think tactically and thus overlook the strategic insights that enable us to plan a good life for ourselves and our community. And so we struggle to establish agency over our own lives, which is a particular problem in what Godin calls our era of carbon & AI. That said, Godin remains cautiously optimistic about all of our futures because, as he asserts, “we are hardwired for hope”. I hope he's right - thereby probably proving his theory.

Focus on innovation and uniqueness to capture attention and drive word-of-mouth marketing. Craft Remarkable Experiences: Invest in creating memorable and exceptional customer experiences. This can differentiate your brand and foster loyalty, encouraging repeat business and positive referrals.

This approach respects customer privacy and increases the likelihood of engagement and conversion. Cut Through the Marketing Clutter: In a saturated market, it's crucial to develop clear, compelling messages that resonate with your target audience. Use storytelling and emotional connections to make your marketing efforts stand out. Target Specific Audiences with Unique Offerings: Focus on creating products or services tailored to the needs and desires of a specific audience.

Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/The Real Organic Project Certification deadline for 2024 is 04/15/2024.

The Ultimate Customer Experience: 5 Steps Everyone Must Know to Excite Your Customers, Engage Your Colleagues, and Enjoy Your Work by Scott McKain About the Book: In The Ultimate Customer Experience, Scott McKain, award-winning speaker and author, reveals the five steps for connecting with customers in today's changing workplace. When was the last time you were a customer and received the Ultimate Customer Experience? Can you even remember? You've probably received great service from companies that you know didn't give a damn about my business. How did that happen? Here is one possible answer: an individual cared about customers and overcame the obvious deficiencies in their organization's inferior approach and lack of values. There are five fundamental aspects to creating the Ultimate Customer Experience for the clients and prospects you deal with every single day. Even during this post-pandemic period as we come to grips with—and try to learn how—business has been changed forever, the level at which we connect with customers has never been more important. The five steps to creating an Ultimate Customer Experience are: Don't Make It Right . . . GET It Right! Make a Great Impression Serve with Empathy Connect with Emotion Take Personal Responsibility If you are investing your own resources in reading this book, that means you're taking the most important step any of us can ever take—a step toward personal growth. You wouldn't read this book if all you want to do is tread water and remain the same. If you want to take personal responsibility for how you engage your customers, Scott McKain will show you how. About the Author: Scott McKain's experiences have been diverse and remarkable. From playing the villain in a Werner Herzog film that esteemed film critic Roger Ebert named as one of the fifty great movies in the history of the cinema, to being inducted into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame; from having been chosen (along with Zig Ziglar, Dale Carnegie, and Seth Godin) as one of thirty members of the Sales and Marketing Hall of Fame, to a decade as a globally syndicated television commentator on the entertainment scene, it's not a stretch to say Scott McKain's life has been distinctive. He has spoken on platforms in all fifty US states and forty countries and his expertise has been quoted multiple times in publications including USA Today, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the International Herald-Tribune. And, interesting fact - Arnold Schwarzenegger once booked Scott for a presentation at the White House with the President in the audience!

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I'm welcoming back a good friend and a fan-favorite on the What's Next! Podcast, Seth Godin. In this episode, I'm sharing our recent LinkedIn Live chat. Seth is the author of 20 books that have been bestsellers around the world and have been translated into more than 40 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, how ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership, and–most of all–changing everything. His latest book is The Song of Significance: A Manifesto for Teams. You might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and, my favorite, Purple Cow. In addition to his writing and speaking, Seth founded both Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog, which you can find simply by typing ‘Seth' into Google, is one of the most popular in the world. Seth is in the Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame, the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame, and most recently, the Marketing Hall of Fame. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone who feels like we've largely lost the human element in our organizations. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… the role of the leader has gotten fuzzy over the years. The key responsibility is not to be the conduit between the stock market and the stock options but to create an environment that is generative and attracts people who can create an impact. WHAT I LOVE MOST… the distinction Seth makes between managers and leaders. He says managers use power and authority to tell people what to do while leaders explore the liminal state between here and there. Being a leader, that's the difficult part.

Welcome to episode #883 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #883. I could not tell you how many times Seth Godin has been a guest on this show. I don't say this to brag. I state this, because he has (truly) influenced everything from my thinking about work and the future, to how I've built worked on my own professional development and career (more on that here: Dear Seth Godin). As soon as I caught wind that he was publishing a new book, The Song Of Significance, I locked in a time for us to not only discuss this incredible book/manifesto about what it means to be human, to be a part of a team, and to make work that really matters, but to also drill down into how the world is changing (artificial intelligence, politics, work from home, being an entrepreneur and more). For those who don't know, Seth is an oracle. He has been sparking minds and inspiring people to level up for over three decades. His daily blog, a beacon of wisdom and insight, has been my constant in the ever-changing digital landscape for more than ten years (when he first started publishing). Seth is an artist with words. He's the author of 20 bestselling books, translated into nearly 40 languages. Also worth noting is his Carbon Almanac project. And Seth's journey isn't a straight path. It's filled with intriguing detours and exciting projects. In 2015, Seth brought to life the altMBA, a transformative 30-day workshop that's changed countless lives. It's part of Akimbo, an independently owned B corp, crafting innovative ways to learn. Seth's online courses, including The Marketing Seminar and several on Udemy, have been taken by over 60,000 people. He's a member of the Guerrilla Marketing Hall of Fame, the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame, and most recently, the Marketing Hall of Fame. Seth's free ebooks on the placebo effect and education are worth a read, and his five TED Talks are a must-watch. So, with that... let's get into his new book and the changing world of work, building a business worth working for and the future. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 58:22.
