Welcome to episode #577 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #577 - Host: Mitch Joel. There is no future of work if all brands don't truly understand how to win the war for talent and what employees want (and expect). It's no longer just about the job, but their workspaces, the tools they will have access to, and how it will, ultimately, help them advance on their professional route. Jacob Morgan was tired of bad jobs and worse bosses, so he set off on his own to learn, research and share how work is evolving. Now, he's become one of the world's leading authorities on the future of work with his company, The Future Organization, employee experience and how it is all changing. His latest book is called, The Employee Experience Advantage, and it comes hot on the heels of his two other bestselling business books, The Future of Work and The Collaborative Organization.

SPOS #575 - Ryan Holiday Wants Brands To Be Perennial
Welcome to episode #575 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #575 - Host: Mitch Joel. He has quickly become one of the most interesting people that I know. Ryan Holiday is a strategist and writer. To me he is really becoming one of the best writers on the state of business and growth that there is. He seems to lead two lives. In one life, he's an astute marketer that has released bestselling books like Trust Me, I'm Lying and Growth Hacker Marketing. In another life (that he seems to running at the same time) he's taking ancient stoic philosophy and making it cool again with his wildly successful bestselling books, Ego Is The Enemy, The Obstacle Is The Way and The Daily Stoic. His book, The Obstacle Is The Way, has been translated into seventeen languages and has a cult following among NFL coaches, world-class athletes, TV personalities, political leaders, and others around the world. Now, he's back with a fascinating new book called, Perennial Seller - The Art of Making And Marketing Work That Lasts. I jumped at the opportunity to discuss this thinking in a world of Snaps, 140 characters, always-on marketing and more. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 55:42. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

SPOS #574 - The Power Of Curiosity And Hunches With Bernadette Jiwa
Welcome to episode #574 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #574 - Host: Mitch Joel. When Seth Godin recommends a guest for your show, one should listen. In the decade-plus that Six Pixels of Separation has been running, Seth has never recommended a guest until now (and I am so grateful and thankful that he did!). I've been a fan and follower of Bernadette Jiwa for some time now. Most recently, Bernadette published her newest book, Hunch - Turn Your Everyday Insights Into The Next Big Thing. She is also the author of five other bestselling books (Meaningful, Marketing - A Love Story, Fortune Cookie Principle, Difference, and Make Your Idea Matter). Mostly, she helps companies design, build and grow a brand through the development of a true, powerful and meaningful story. She believes that the smallest insights (not always the data) is where the brand breakthrough resides. With that, intuition is more valuable than ever, but how do you nurture and cultivate that?
