The Importance of Embracing Marketing as an Act of Service

In this podcast episode, the guest Seth Godin discusses the shift in marketing from being self-centered to focusing on serving others. He emphasizes the need to understand the needs and wants of the people we seek to serve. Godin suggests seeing through their perspective and creating a culture that leads to meaningful change. The technology revolution of the past few decades has transformed marketing from solely relying on advertising and money to connecting with smaller, niche groups of people. He also highlights the importance of leadership over management in marketing, where leaders test, evolve, and find what resonates with their audience. Instead of focusing on what to say, Godin encourages marketers to focus on what will elicit a positive response from their audience.
