The Concept of Being Remarkable
Being remarkable means offering something worth talking about, not just having a gimmick or a shtick. Remarkability is rooted in generosity and service to others; it focuses on how one can help others while gaining from the connection. The idea is exemplified by brands like Patagonia, where wearing their clothing allows wearers to communicate positive values. Seth Godin emphasizes that the essence of being remarkable is to ensure that your actions provide benefits to others, rather than simply seeking attention for yourself.
