Last year I stumbled upon a book that REALLY caught my attention. You see, I graduated with a Marketing degree... and have been teaching other photographers for years about how things have changed in marketing. It wasn't until I found Seth Godin's book, Meatball Sundae, that I REALLY felt I had solid evidence of what I've been teaching... about how a lot of what I learned in business school and previously practiced has been turned upside down lately. Markets have changed and the freedom technology gives us the ability to reach millions in a much cheaper, efficient way.
Since I read that book, I've been following Seth's blog on a regular basis. So when Seth asked his readers to join a group of individuals who all lead others (in many different markets and roles), I joined in and pre-purchased his new book, Tribes. Last week I got my copy from Amazon and another copy sent by Seth's organization as a gift to give away and share with others - how cool!
After about a week of having the book, Sara and I flipped open the book jacket and found my mug staring back at us along with 1400+ individuals who are also likely part of Seth's audience and forum participants. Haha. My mug made it on the book - right next to the cool baby!!
I have to admit I wasn't as excited to plow through this one as I was for Meatball Sundae, but after reading it I can certainly say it's going on my list of recommended reads!
I read the entire book last night on my flight from Atlanta to Phoenix and it's pretty marked up with notes and page folds so I can revisit some particular points. I'll be posting a more detailed review in the next week on my business blog.

Thank you for all the great information that you are sharing with us and for the VERY therapeutic process! Wow, let me get back to the homework. October 23, 2008 at 11:40 PM
