Nothing in life is equal. . The very nature of life its self means some will be better then others. . It is simply nature

I would say equality creates excellence – yet this is a point that is not yet being seen.
For example if there was an equal money system in place and all individuals had equal access to education – this would greatly influence the shape and development and overall skill level of the population. Where those who are seen as apparently unable to lead would now be equalized with those seen as having apparent special skills because the training would be available to all.

@CraigCatapano I agree, this is all about pinning a price tag on segmented groups. Freemium to Premium. Free Obama posters to fame and wealth. Following the pied piper to the river that runs green. Tactics of the intellectual businessman or marketeer. Once the world has maxed out on products and fame maybe it will return to the original association of ‘Tribe’, as you say.

While Seth Godin’s analysis is correct, I’m afraid many will miss the real point, which is that “passion” creates excellence. Instead, he focuses on marketing – to intentionally NOT appeal to the masses?!. That’s an analysis after the fact but not advice to follow. Apple (his ex) doesn’t strive NOT to be for masses. They follow the passion and let others buy or not buy. Seth’s “marketing approach” is intellectual. Those that “can”, “do” follow their passion. Others analyize and imitate.

I liked it better when a Tribe was associated with native Americans

Tribes would have to be my #1 book from 2010 closely followed by Tim Feriss’s 4 hour week. It just makes sense without the hysterical and cliched language of so called guru marketers-Cheers Kiaran

@LPHLPH1 you dont get it right?

Seth Godin is the Woody Allen of marketing.

@actorkent Al Gore did not say that the problem was definitely caused by humans. He said that the probability that it was caused by humans is high and many people believe that the risk is too high to look past. Why do you have to be so black and white? Everything’s so polarized, stand in the @#%@# middle sometime

Thanks Seth Godin for the insights. Your thoughts about not joining twitter, is telling me that I must focus on what I am doing my best at!

Sad that he uses the Al Gore tribe as an example. Goes to show that even complete idiots can create a trive. Al Gore is a Green Profiteer pawned as a ‘nice guy’.
He is a liar. Amazing he didnt win the presidency in light of how good a liar he is

why does anyone listen to this worthless pile of garbage?

Great Video Seth, thanks for sharing your opinion, observations and insight. . . you make people “think” and that’s the greatest!

Very nice of Seth to, yet again, share his significant thoughts on marketing, success and being oneself. One day I will have the bucks to apply for his in-home conference (Nov 09). The lessons I have learned from Seth have helped me and my businesses more than my graduate work in marketing ever did. I’m growing a new tribe, so thanks, again, Seth. Good work, Loic. BTW, that is a cool mic. I use one for my podcasts.

Seth,
I may not agree with every thing you said but was a very intelligent conversation. Alot of video’s just try to sell you something verses make you think.
