Talk on making an impact by Seth Godin at Business of Software last year
Are you afraid to truly make an impact? The opportunity for linchpin organizations and the people who run them.

It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important."
- marklittlewood 16y agoThanks. I hadn't really thought about it that way but have changed the title. Mea culpa.
- nbashaw 16y agoNo worries - I'm a relative newcomer to HN but I remember reading the guidelines and thinking, "hey, that makes sense".
- marcamillion 16y agoHow do I access to other talks at BOSS last year ? This website doesn't have a central place for them...it seems.
- portman 16y agoIn past years, the talks have gone up slowly during the year after the conference.
- marcamillion 16y agoUgghh...how annoying.
- patio11 16y agoThe only one currently available from last year is Peldi's. http://businessofsoftware.org/video_10_peldi.aspx http://businessofsoftware.org/video_10_peldi.aspx
- jaysonelliot 16y agoSeth Godin's ratio of actual stuff made to buzzwords invented is staggering.
- rsoto 16y agonevertheless he's great. i've learned to be critic with the things i'm learning from the others and one thing is true: no one is going to be 100% wrong nor correct. there's something to learn from everyone.
- joshklein 16y agoIs the past founding and sale of a successful internet media company to Yahoo!, and the founding and current running of a top ~100 quantcast media website not suitably impressive? I believe he has walked the walk, and earned the right to talk the talk.

- jaysonelliot 16y agoMy comment was far too flippant and unfair. It's not like I've been doing something better. I gotta learn to keep stupid statements like that in check.
- mise 16y agoSo who's going to this year's conference?
- patio11 16y agoI will be going, and will probably deliver one of the keynote (hour-long) speeches.
- mise 16y agoIt would be great to see you give a keynote. About €3,000 total registration and travel costs - I'll have to mull it over some more (not related to your keynote, just on a general note of costs!).
- marcamillion 16y agoI hate to say this, I really do...because I am a MAJOR fan of Seth Godin's work. But I got NOTHING actionable from this talk. Am I missing something ?
- cheez 16y agoHow does a major fan of Seth Godin go to a talk of Seth Godin and expect any actionable work? Seth is inspiring but don't look to him to tell you what to do.
