We're 1001 episodes in. Maybe we need a little reorientation :-) 

This is Episode 1000 of the Stories Mean Business podcast, and today I welcome my first guest ... the marketing LEGEND that is Seth Godin.

Be careful what you wish for.

I've been stuck this past month, but fortunately I've been rereading George Leonard's book on Mastery, which includes a crucial reframe. In this episode I also talk about audience (yes, again) and self-efficacy. Go deeper: https://storiesmeanbusiness.com/storybusiness/ https://storiesmeanbusiness.com/podcast

It's the middle of the year, but I've just bought myself a 2022 deskcalendar. Of course, I have calendar apps built into every device I own, but I was using them for scheduling, not planning. That's a huge distinction (which I failed to make when I recorded this podcast.)The point, of course, is that we are so focused on the advanced ninja business skills that we end up forgetting the fundamentals...

It turns out that the usability we all enjoy hasn't been around that long - with huge consequences.

I'm getting ready to reap some rewards… or at least take a breath before starting the next climb.

Watch how Richard Feynman deploys an illustration to communicate a complex point. "The atoms are 1 or 2×10−8 cm in radius. Now 10−8 cm is called an angstrom (just as another name), so we say they are 1 or 2 angstroms (Å) in radius. Another way to remember their size is this: if an apple is magnified to the size of the earth, then the atoms in the apple are approximately the size of the original ap...

This idea has been scratching at the inside of my head for a few days now.

It's not just a client who deserves a guarantee.

A masterclass in the hero's journey.

It's deja vu I'm afraid ...

What exists beyond the tyranny of goals and timelines.

I'm horizontal right now, but it's probably better for most of us to be vertical.
