Show notes

Welcome to episode #549 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #549 - Host: Mitch Joel. Let's start this new year off right, shall we? He's back! Google's Digital Marketing Evangelist, bestselling author (Web Analytics - An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0), powerful blogger (Occam's Razor), friend and marketing big brain, Avinash Kaushik. His monthly posts may as well be business books, and his insights into what should really count today for marketing is refreshing. He's got an attitude, he is full of passion, and he has some ideas about what we all need to be thinking about in this day and age. More recently, Avinash also lauched his own, personal, e-newsletter titled, The Marketing-Analytics Intersect (you best sign up for it), and we're back to look at what happened in 2016, what we see coming in 2017 and, what's exciting (but isn't going to happen any time soon) in the world of analytics and marketing. Enjoy the conversation...

Show notes

Welcome to episode #548 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #548 - Host: Mitch Joel. What comes after advertising? Is there anything after advertising? How will a $500-plus billion dollar a year industry evolve? This is the question that Catharine Hays (along with her co-author, Jerry Wind) tried to tackle in their book, Beyond Advertising - Creating Value Through All Customer Touchpoints. Catharine is the founding Director of the Future of Advertising Program at the Wharton School. The program is trying to bridge the academic and real world to create a better advertising environment. Don't let that fool you, Catharine held many positions in B2B marketing at AT&T for over a decade. So, is there a future beyond advertising? Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #547 - Fresh Business Thinking With Seth Godin Jan 01, 2017

Show notes

Welcome to episode #547 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #547 - Host: Mitch Joel. Well, that was a pretty insane 2016, wasn't it? And, not just from a political standpoint (but, yes, that too). In an effort to change mindsets, think differently about 2017 and get some insights that may spark a change in your thinking, Seth Godin agreed to come on the show, and talk about where he sees the world, where the opportunity lies and how to think about this coming year with optimism (or, as he calls it, realism). Seth just published a monster of a book. Yes, big ideas (that's what he does), but this time he packed it into an even bigger format. The book is hefty. What Does It Sound Like When You Change Your Mind is a huge collection of Seth's writing. 800 pages, over-sized, and over-weight. I'd call it a collectible coffee table book, but I'm worried it will crush the average coffee table to bits. As always, Seth is philosophical, practical and a ray of light and prosperity. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #546 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #546 - Host: Mitch Joel. Chris Kutarna's life has been a fascinating and global journey of both personal discovery and of sharing how our world's connectedness is changing everything. He's the co-author of an amazing book called, Age of Discovery - Navigating the Risks and Rewards of Our New Renaissance, that he co-authroed with Ian Goldin.

He's been a two-time Governor General's Medallist, a Sauvé Fellow and Commonwealth Scholar, and a former consultant with the Boston Consulting Group... and entrepreneur.

SPOS #545 - Beyond The Entrepreneur Myth With Michael Gerber Dec 18, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to episode #545 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #545 - Host: Mitch Joel. Very few business thinkers have influenced me as much as Michael Gerber. His best-selling book, The E-Myth, made me rethink everything (from a business and a motivational perspective). It also came at the perfect time... just as Twist Image (now Mirum) was starting to take shape. Originally published in 1995, and now available in fifteen languages, The E-Myth Revisited has become the indispensable handbook for millions of small business owners, franchisors, and entrepreneurs alike. Recently, Gerber continued publishing books like The Dreaming Room (a book that helps entrepreneurs practice a new approach to creative and strategic thinking) then Awakening The Entrepreneur Within and now, Beyond The E-Myth. This is his simple (hard to do) eight-styes process to help entrepreneurs move to a place of working "on" the business instead of "in" it. It's a phenomenal read and Gerber's insights on business success will surprise you. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #544 - Media's Massive Problems With Jay Rosen Dec 11, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to episode #544 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #544 - Host: Mitch Joel. It's not just fake news. The entire media business is in a tailspin now. The last United States Presidential Election called into question what, exactly, is going on with journalism? Facts vs. opinions. Left side vs. right side. Traditional media vs. the digital marketplace.The entire world of journalism is being called into question. Who is responsible for fake news? Who should pay for journalism? How do we navigate, in a world where our most trusted sources were a huge part of how slanted our perceptions of the world are? So many questions. My professional career started off in journalism (this was prior to becoming both a publisher and marketer), so yes, I have a soft spot for all things journalism. There are few who are looking at journalism and the new media with a sharper eye than Jay Rosen. I'm a huge fan. Rosen teaches journalism at New York University, where he has been on the faculty since 1986. He is the author of PressThink, a blog about journalism's ordeals in the age of the web, which he launched in 2003. In 1999, Yale University Press published his book, What Are Journalists For?, which was about the rise of the civic journalism movement. I was hoping that Jay could provide us with some insights on what happened and where we go from here. His answers will shock you. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #542 - Finding What Fascinates With Julie Klam Nov 27, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to episode #542 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Our team at Mirum has launched a interesting program for InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. It's a series that takes places across multiple InterContinental properties to tell stories that will get consumers excited about what travel brings into their lives (beyond visiting a different city or country). The first part of this program has been focused on the theme of "fascination." With that, our team connected with famed bestselling author, Julie Klam, at the InterContinental New York Barclay's Gin Parlour for a conversation about the power of fascination. Truthfully, I had nothing to do with this project, but jumped at the opportunity to have Julie on this show. I've been a fan of her work for a long time. Julie Klam interned at Late Night with David Letterman and went on to write for the likes of Rolling Stone, Harper's Bazaar, and The New York Times Magazine. She also worked on the VH1 television show Pop-Up Video, where she earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Special Class Writing. She's the author of many narrative non-fiction books like Friendkeeping, Love At First Bark, You Had Me At Woof and Please Excuse My Daughter. Her next book, The Stars In Our Eyes, will look at celebrities, memes and what makes us all so enraptured by those who have influence. So what makes us fascinated? Do we all have the same ability to capture attention like celebrities? Where do great stories come from? Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #541 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. You can't turn down the chance to have a chat with legendary advertising professional, Alex Bogusky.

SPOS #540 - Bring Magic To Your Business With Magician Jay Sankey Nov 13, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to episode #540 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. I have been blown away by Jay Sankey. He's a magician who has managed to do some pretty amazing and impossible things. I'm not just talking about the 700-plus illusions he has invented over his incredible career. I'm not just talking about the fact that David Copperfield, Criss Angel and David Blaine have performed his illusions. He knows so much about business, marketing and storytelling that this could be one of the important things any business professional might listen to this year. (and that's not hyperbole) With close to 200,000 subscribers to his Sankey Magic YouTube channel, Jay has broken down the wall between the audience and the mystic of magic. He doesn't just perform on YouTube, he shows everyone how the magic is done. It's brilliant. He's also the founder of Inside Deception - the world's number one training site for magic, mentalism, performance and more. Within this show, you learn the power of telling a story, persuasion, creating tension, presentation skills, comedy, diversion tactics and more. It's simply... amazing. If you're still not sold, you must see his video of how he outsmarted Penn and Teller for their TV show, Fool Us. Enjoy the conversation...
