Six Pixels of Separation Podcast

Welcome to episode #508 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #508 - Host: Mitch Joel. I have said it before. I will say it again. Christopher S. Penn is a deadly weapon... and I mean that in the kindest sense of the saying. Yes, he's a practicing Martial Artist, but he's a more dangerous marketing weapon. He's that rare breed of deeply tech savvy professional combined with an understanding of marketing that will make your head spin. His full-time job is as the Vice President of Marketing Technology at SHIFT Communications, but he's also one of the co-founders of PodCamp, co-host (with John Wall) of the Marketing Over Coffee podcast, and a very passionate blogger at Awaken Your Superhero. He's also published a slew of business book, White Belt Marketing, Marketing Blue Belt and - most recently - Leading Innovation. Some fans of the show may also remember him as one of the co-hosts of Media Hacks. With that, we came together to discuss all things innovation. Where does it come from, how does it work and what's your company missing? Enjoy the conversation...  Running time: 57:16. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at iTunes.

Welcome to episode #507 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #507 - Host: Mitch Joel. It's always a pleasure to welcome Jay Baer back to the show. We don't always agree, but we both do love marketing in this modern age. Jay is back with a brand new book called, Hug Your Haters. The book is being described as a modern day approach to customer service. Jay says that customer service is the new marketing (a point we debate on this episode). Jay's last business book was Youtility. And, as if that weren't enough, he turned his blog, Convince And Convert into a major publishing platform that features multiple voices along with ton of fascinating podcasts and more. His first book, The Now Revolution (which he co-wrote with Amber Naslund), also broke ground when it was first released. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 52:53. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Welcome to episode #506 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #506 - Host: Mitch Joel. What will near-to-future technologies do to change business as we know it? Better question: how are these technologies already being used in business? These are the questions that journalist, strategist, consultant and author, John C. Havens has been investigating. His latest business book is called, Heartificial Intelligence, and it looks at what our world could look like, if we don't begin figuring out what robots and machine learning-based business landscapes could look like. Marrying technology, economics, psychology and even fictional narratives, Havens paints a vivid portrait about what our future could look like. Havens is also the author of Hacking H(app)ness, and a writer for Mashable, The Guardian, and Slate. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:05:00. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Welcome to episode #505 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #505 - Host: Mitch Joel. We have learned a lot in the past few years about what works in business. We have companies' valuations explode with massive growth. We've also re-invented the spaces that we work in. So, how has it all worked out? Do open-floor plans really work, or do they make employees miserable? Are there companies which really put their employees' welfare first, and their clients second?  Are annual performance reviews really necessary? These are just some of the questions that Dr. David Burkus has been trying to answer. The culmination is his second book, Under New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as Usual. David is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Psychology Today and 99U. When not speaking or writing, he's also an assistant professor of management at Oral Roberts University, where he teaches courses on organizational behavior, creativity, innovation, and strategic leadership. His first book was titled, The Myths of Creativity - The Truth About How Innovative Companies Generate Great Ideas, ands podcast is called, Radio Free Leader. I'm excited to welcome him back to the show. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 57:09. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at iTunes.

Welcome to episode #504 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #504 - Host: Mitch Joel. Simply put: Douglas Rushkoff makes my brain hurt, because he is so smart. He recently published his latest book, Throwing Rocks At The Google Bus, and it will make your head spin too. All of our assumptions about disruption, the digital economy, unicorns, valuations, and how all of this technological innovation has evolved will be questioned. Not to be a contrarian for contrarian's sake, this Media Scholar also happens to understand the underpinnings of our economy, and it will startle you. The book acts as a warning and - as with everything he touches - it will make you think deeply. Rushkoff (for those who do not know) is the person responsible for coining terms like 'digital natives', 'social currency' and 'viral media'. If you've never heard of Rushkoff, he's the winner of the Media Ecology Association's first Neil Postman award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity, he is an author, teacher, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, cultures, and institutions create, share, and influence each other's values. He is Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at CUNY, technology and media commentator for CNN, digital literacy advocate for Codecademy.com and a lecturer on media, technology, culture and economics around the world.

Google's Digital Marketing Evangelist, bestselling author (Web Analytics - An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0), powerful blogger (Occam's Razor), friend and marketing big brain, Avinash Kaushik. His monthly posts may as well be business books, and his insights into what should really count today for marketing is refreshing. He's got an attitude, he is full of passion, and he has some ideas about what we all need to be thinking about in this day and age. More recently, Avinash also lauched his own, personal, e-newsletter titled, The Marketing-Analytics Intersect (you best sign up for it), and we're back to debate the entire marketing landscape.

Welcome to episode #502 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #502 - Host: Mitch Joel. Every so often, someone (on Twitter, Facebook or whatever) asks if there are any good books for conducting a meeting? For me, there is only one such book, and it's Al Pittampalli's, Read This Before Our Next Meeting: The Modern Meeting Standard for Successful Organizations. To make it even better, it's a quick and simple read too. I was thrilled to see that Al is back with his second book, Persuadable: How Great Leaders Change Their Minds to Change the World. It's a book for our modern world. We think that real leadership is about having a vision and driving it, at all costs. It turns out that times have changed. Making great things happen is more about surrounding yourself with the right people and being very open to changing courses. While that may sound obvious... it is not.

Welcome to episode #501 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #501 - Host: Mitch Joel. It's Valentine's Day. Let's show some love. This guy... this Scott Monty guy. Long before he was Global Digital and Multimedia Communications Manager at Ford, he was a buddy. We spent countless years together - in our own corners - trying to figure out just how disruptive technology was going to be for marketing and communications professions. Prior to publishing the 500th episode of Six Pixels of Separation - The Mirum Podcast (last week), I asked on Facebook who might make a great guest, and Scott's name came up a few times. At first, I laughed because Scott and I have been friends for so long that I (wrongly) assumed he had been on the show (multiple times), but I soon realized that he had never been a guest. That's when I got embarrassed. Simply not acceptable. So, we're fixing it. And, we're showing Scott Monty the love, he rightfully deserves. Scott is a senior executive steeped in digital. He was ranked by The Economist as number one atop the list 25 Social Business Leaders and by Forbes as one of the top 10 influencers in social media, Alan Mulally, the CEO of Ford Motor Company, called him "a visionary." Scott has been featured in hundreds of news and business publications in print and on the web, in dozens of books, and on a variety of mainstream media. If you're not signed up for his weekly newsletter, The Full Monty, you don't know what you're missing. In this episode, we look at the state of marketing and communications, and where it's all going.

Welcome to episode #500 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #500 - Host: Mitch Joel. It is a total pleasure to welcome Morgan Spurlock to the show. Most people know him for his amazing documentaries (Super Size Me, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?, POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope and One Direction: This Is Us). He is also doing a lot of great work over at CNN with his show, Inside Man. Some might also remember his awesome reality TV show, 30 Days. With that, Spurlock also jumped full-on into content marketing and branded content. I've been lucky to know Morgan for a few years, and was very thankful that he agreed to be my guest on the 500th episode. He's someone who was very skeptical of brands and advertising, and he now sees the relationship between the work he is doing and how brands can be a part of it. Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #499 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast.  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #499 - Host: Mitch Joel. I have been blessed. Don't think that I don't recognize it. I do. I'm still insanely driven and hyper-entrepreneurial, so I'm not always satisfied, but I am grateful. I get to spend a lot of time with people that many business leaders would spend fortunes to connect with. Over the years, I've done my best to give back as well. Nothing is more fulfilling than speaking to students who are interested in business, innovation, technology and marketing. I happen to live in the same city as McGill University. Professor Karl Moore is not only an Associate Professor  at the Desautels Faculty of Management, but he is also on the faculty at Oxford. I've been lucky enough to call him a friend for a number of years, and to give back by speaking to the students at the university. He's frequently asks me to be a guest on his famed The CEO Series radio show, as well as in his countless (and well-read) business columns for the likes of the Globe & Mail and Forbes. Currently, he's in the midst of writing two books. One, is titled Quiet Leaders - Introverts in the Executive Suite and the second is titled, The PostModern Generation - Working With Under 35s The Way They Want To Be Worked With. His experience, research and insight into the word of business and how successful leaders make it happen is unparalleled. Enjoy the conversation...  Running time: 42:55.
