(Video) Seth Godin Talks To PSFK About Linchpin
In preparation for our upcoming Good Ideas Salon featuring Seth Godin, PSFK was able to talk with Seth over Skype about his upcoming book, Linchpin.
A few highlights from the interview:
“A fundamental thing has happened on our watch, and that is the death of the Industrial Age”
“You are doing really well making good living on an old system – but it’s dying all around you. The idea that someone could get paid $300-500K to be a middle man at a giant corporation selling toothpaste is nuts.”
“Where’s the money going to come from in selling average things to average people?”
“It’s scary to do the [right] work…there’s no manual to point at and say ‘it’s not my fault’.”
“[When it comes to being a Linchpin] what is missing is the commitment…making the decision is not obvious or easy. “
“Art is the intentional act of connecting someone else and changing them.“
