Seth Godin - 2011 Investor Gathering: Market Creation is Hard

[TheBusinessadvice]

What a great video. If you are in a sales position well worth a watch

I read Seth's blog every day and benefit from what he has to say, but he's sounding like a shill for Monsanto with the hybrid seed talk. There are good, intelligent reasons Indian farmers stick with the traditional seeds, and no, it's not on their agenda to wake up every day and want to pay licensing fees to Monsanto just to grow food.

@ropersix Turns out I jumped to conclusions here about the seeds. Seth's not talking about GMO seeds from Monsanto at all. Rather, they're from a company that takes an organic and natural approach to creating better seeds. So my apologies for misleading anyone.

@ropersix Thanks for the update/correction. For anyone else who is interested, the company he is speaking about is called Western Seed based in Kenya.

Concise presentation with extremely helpful distinctions. Thanks.

Seth has a way of illuminating common problems in such as way as to allow a paradigm shift to take place! A great way to start the day!

Fascinating... Being so ingrained in industrialization and mass marketing, I'm just another fish unaware of the water I'm in. Seth's concept of first-time purchasing as a huge barrier seems so alien from my perspective. And that's the magic of Seth's reveal.

Another Home Run!!
