[…] Books are souvenirs that hold ideas. Ideas are free. If no one knows about your idea, you fail. If your idea doesn’t spread, you fail. If your idea spreads but no one wants to own the souvenir edition, you fail. – Source […]

My copy still hasn't arrived but I listened to part of the audio book last night. http://tinyurl.com/sethstrategy - Seth makes great insights with this topic. It reminds me of the strategy used by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan during the build up to the most successful tribal movements we've witnessed. The Million Man March.

Another great interview, thanks…
If people come to like and identify with the person writing the blog or identify with the brand, you have all the elements necessary to create a popular community focused on the creative output of just one person/brand. Marketing as a story; simple, profound.

actually this reminded me to write you a line about long tail:
long tail is ~13.5 billion years old.

“Everyone is a Marketer”. “Everyone is a Leader” Seth Godin(ala High MacLeod) “Everyone is an Artist” Joseph Beuys
“Books are souvenirs that hold ideas.” Art is a souvenir of the artists mind…
Couldn’t resist a bit of direct commentary. Thanks for this, Hugh. You rock, as does Seth–

Great inspirational interview. Interesting, although many people desire to be leaders are they prepared to take on the responsibilities and commitment to those end goals?
To lead is to create; to take risks and explore; to inspire and perform and to fail and try again.
To follow is to consume; spread and create demand.
None is better or worse than the others, for without both side of the exchange neither exists.

“The market for something to believe in is infinite.” That is beautiful, true, poignant, hopeful!

Thanks for a great interview. It’s amazing that ten questions (and their answers) could contain so many good and intriguing ideas. Offline, the business world still seems relatively fossilized in its thinking. Thankfully, a person can go online and see that there are people who do things and think in innovative ways.

I just found your blog through Seth Godin’s blog.
I read some of your articles here, what you say is very interesting.
I’ll continue to visit your blog.
Best,

I agree with the general sentiment Hugh — very good, provocative questions. And, having seen Seth speak about Tribes already, I can assure everyone that it is far from dated thinking.

Thanks for the interview. I love Seth Godin’s work. And you’ve asked some great questions on his new book — us enough to make me want to read it now; and not too much that you give all the ideas of the book away.
