How I efficiently read and share news as a means of ‘thought leadership’ marketing…
Announcing “Be known; the Series”
Almost three years ago I read Seth Godin’s epic book Tribes; We Need You to Lead Us. I was at once inspired by the strategic possibilities and disappointed by the lack of references to any tools or tactics that could help me implement Seth’s ideas. At that point I had been blogging for approximately 4 [...]
The trap of social media noise
I’m curating this quote for another post but the simple elegance of Seth Godin’s thoughts deserves a spotlight all it’s own… Leadership (even idea leadership) scares many people, because it requires you to own your words, to do work that matters. The alternative is to be a junk dealer. The game theory pushes us into [...]
What Makes A Great Curator Great? How To Distinguish High-Value Curation From Generic Republishing
My own thought leadership position is on the topic of tactics and tools for thought leadership. Occasionally, I come across great thoughts on the strategy or rationale behind curation for ‘thought leadership’ marketing and this perspective from Robin Good is one of the best I’ve read in a long time… Today content curation is “sold“, [...]
The trap of social media noise
Thought provoking words from Seth Godin this morning… If we put a number on it, people will try to make the number go up. Now that everyone is a marketer, many people are looking for a louder megaphone, a chance to talk about their work, their career, their product… and social media looks like the [...]
Tools vs insight
Seth Godin is brilliant. Here’s proof… How is your vocabulary? It’s a vital tool, certainly. Do you know these words? a, after, and, as, die, eternal, first, gets, gun, have, in, is, job, life, me, mouth, my, pushing, saying, step, that, the, to, Tyler, waiter, you. How about these? a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, [...]

One of my favorite thought leaders Mitch Joel is reflecting today on 8 years of blogging… Eight years ago on this day in 2003, I started Blogging. Here’s some basic info about what has transpired in eight years here at the Six Pixels of Separation Blog: over 2700 Blog entries, over 20,000 comments and over [...]
Back to (the wrong) school
Of all the Labor Day analyses I’ve read this weekend, this one may be the most important. Funny, but I jumped in the middle of the article and thought “this sounds like Seth Godin”. I was right. Seth says… If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find [...]
Godin on Anger and Creativity
“It’s rare to find a consistently creative or insightful person who is also an angry person.* They can’t occupy the same space, and if your anger moves in, generosity and creativity often move out. It’s difficult to use revenge or animus to fuel great work. Ironically, when you decide to teach someone a lesson they [...]
Day old news is fresh enough
I’m baaack! My week in the Galena Territory was wonderful, but now it’s back to reality. I really appreciated the time away and the chance to think about business and this blog in more abstract terms. Here’s one of the many thinks I’m pondering… The value of breaking news (news = whatever is new to [...]
