What Godin gets wrong | Joel J. Miller American entrepreneur, author and public speaker Seth Godin (photo by Joi Ito, Wikimedia Commons) Seth Godin’s announcement about abandoning traditional publishing ruffled a lot of plumage this week, for good reason. Publishing is navigating through disruptions and difficulties that make industry players fearful about the future. But Godin has misapprehended a few things. I like the people [in publishing], but I can’t abide the long wait, the filters, the big push at launch, the nudging to get people to go to a store they don’t usually visit to buy something they don’t usually buy, to get them to pay for an idea in a form that’s hard to spread. . . . My jaw dropped. If I’m Dante, I just landed in the wrong poem. Reality is of course somewhere in between. The second misapprehension is that books are a clunky way to deliver and spread ideas. Literature is like running. A third misapprehension is not Godin’s fault.

A Place and A Time « Life of Lana Sitting at Starbucks there is so much material to write about it’s hard to know where to begin. The cast of characters is rich and diverse. The conversations floating in the air are kept at a level that the challenge isn’t to hear them but to shut them out long enough to form your own thoughts. It never ceases to amaze me the personal conversations that people hold in public places. There is a common thread that ties them all together. With the departure of the grief group other conversations are easier to make out. And here I sit at the table in the corner watching but not impacting, part of it all but not. Thank you people of Starbucks. Like this: Like Loading...
