[The3nlightened0ne]

This aint an easy path, folks.

The interviewer is so boring.

Did he not prepare any of his questions?

good example is di fara pizza 

[BeyondNeptune]

this piece of shit jew keeps saying that if you have a technical, geinus mind, you are worthless... if you have an artsy fartsy mind, you deserve a high salary. If you are a talented machinist, engineer, technician, programmer, inventor, you deserve to be outsourced . This guy is dengerous and a piec of shit filthy jew parasite

[CarMoves]

@BeyondNeptune -- His "art" doesn't mean artsy-fartsy, dummy.

Programmers create art too.

Seth, you inspired me to post about the beautiful SemperOper here in Dresden on my blog. Changing in the middle of its history, with the first female intendant and a new approach to their audience. First and most seeable sign is the new website and many more changes that can be only realized when people attend the audiences.

hi @mrbeedles re: Be ye slow to speak next time... rather pathetic attitude you have to be honest. We're all entitled to an opinion, even if you don't agree.

I feel Seth is telling folks 'what they want to hear' as opposed to how to get there. Are you a linchpin? Doubt it...

[MrFred186]

Interesting how Seth talks first about the market conditions that make his new book relevant. He truly understand market positioning - unless he did it by pure dumb luck, which is unlikely.

[mrbeedles]

ivanwalsh, I believe your perspective is a bit warped and you are living alittle too high on the hog. The linchpin philosophy is more about being Great and Inspiring positive change than it is about carrying a title. Name the linchpins of the occupations you have listed and then look at the rest of the field. Their accomplishments have sparked a revolution. Be ye slow to speak next time.

[ivanwalsh]

This applies to those in semi-skilled professions and manufacturing but less so to skilled & trained professions.

Doctors, lawyers, architects all other such dont need to work to be linchpins they already are.

[krosfyah]

I don't agree.

All service delivery professionals have to compete with one another. Less so for doctors - they will always be in demand - but for revenue-based service delivery professionals (i.e. architects, lawyers etc) you always need to position yourself to be better than the next firm/competitor. If you don't you and the firm won't grow, in fact, you will probably end up withering.

@krosfyah Listen to WHAT HE'S saying! Don't get stuck on the "words"

[vinyasaflow1]

Nice. Follow your heart follow your happiness.

I enjoyed this interview of Seth Godin on his new book, Linchpin. I actually came looking for video that I might include in a Squidoo page where I am preparing my review. This video will certainly be a part of that effort.

Thank you,
