Welcome to episode #514 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. He's got a big brain, and he's always thinking about marketing, advertising and brands. You can hear the excitement in his voice. Martin Lindstrom was made for this business. He has a unique sense of curiosity mixed with academics and layers it all on top with science. He doesn't guess why people make the choices that they make. He dives in deep and cracks the nut open as to why. In a world of big data and analytics, Martin's latest book is, Small Data - The Tiny Clues That Uncover Huge Trends, and it bucks the system with his global perspective and pioneering research. He is a New York Times and The Wall Street Journal best-selling author of six groundbreaking books on branding, including Buyology: The Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, BRANDsense, Brandwashed and many more.

SPOS #513 - Ethics In Newsjacking With David Meerman Scott
Welcome to episode #513 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Social media is becoming very complicated. From Prince's death to global news moments, brands are being pushed to be ever-more careful when, how and what they post in social media spaces. Famed marketing author and speaker, David Meerman Scott, coined the phrase "newsjacking." It an opportune moment for brands to capture attention from something major that is happening in the media for their own gain. I'm (somewhat) skeptical of it, but I'm a big fan of David's work. So, what does ethical newsjacking look like, in a world where so many brands don't know their own boundaries? Listen in as the bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing & PR, The New Rules of Sales & Service, Marketing the Moon, Real-Time Marketing & PR, Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead, World Wide Rave, Eyeball Wars and more discusses newsjacking, and why he created an online course on how to master it.

SPOS #512 - Blockchain Revolution With Alex And Don Tapscott
Welcome to episode #512 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. The technology behind Bitcoin is something called Blockchain. Many think of it as a complex new way that technology works and connects information and value to consumers. Legendary digital thinker, Don Tapscott, believes it's going to change our world - much in the same way that he predicted (back in 1994) that we would have a digital economy. For his latest book, Blockchain Revolution, he teamed up with his son, Alex Tapscott. Don wrote books like Wikinomics, Grown Up Digital, and many more that have become seminal books of our digital culture, and he is an advisor to some of the largest corporations and governments in the world. Alex is the founder of Northwest Passage Ventures. For seven years Alex worked to help entrepreneurs raise hundreds of millions of dollars in capital. He is a passionate advocate for the disruptive potential of new technology. Blockchain Revolution has already been called, "an iconic book for these times," and brings us back to the excitement and opportunities that many felt, when the first web browser was introduced. Is the blockchain revolution the future of creating value or will it fall into the wrong hands? Enjoy the conversation...

Welcome to episode #511 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Tim Sanders spends his career on the cutting edge.

In 2005, he founded Deeper Media, which provides consulting and training services for leading companies, trade associations and government agencies.

SPOS #510 - Jaffe And Joel On Algorithms, Facebook Live Video And Bots
Welcome to episode #510 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #510 - Host: Mitch Joel. Joseph Jaffe is widely regarded as one of the top marketing bloggers (Jaffe Juice) and podcasters (both Jaffe Juice in audio and Jaffe Juice TV in video). He is the author of four excellent books (Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation, Flip The Funnel and Z.E.R.O.) and his latest business venture is, Evol8tion. A long-time friend (and one of the main inspirations behind the Six Pixels of Separation blog and podcast), we've decided to hold semi-regular conversations, debates and back-and-forths that will dive a little deeper into the digital marketing and advertising landscape. This is our 37th conversation (or, as I like to affectionately call it, Across The Sound 37.20), and in this episode, we discuss slacktavism, Facebook, algorithms over humans, virtual reality, Facebook's live video push and much more.

SPOS #509 - The Coaching Habit With Michael Bungay Stanier
Welcome to episode #509 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #509 - Host: Mitch Joel. There's a reason Michael Bungay Stanier's first book, Do More Great Work, has sold close to 100,000 copies. It's small, but do not let the size of it fool you. If you're stuck. If you're not sure if you're focusing on what's important. You need to read that book. I don't even know how many copies of that book I have passed along to friends and colleagues. Then, Michael asked me to be one of the participants in a compilation book called, End Malaria. All proceeds from the book went to the Malaria No More charity (and that was close to $500,000), while the book wound up hitting #2 on Amazon (plus, it was published on Seth Godin's The Domino Project imprint). Well, Michael does a lot more than publish books that become movements. He spends the bulk of his day running Box Of Crayons - a consultancy to help time-crunched managers do less good work and much more great work. Over the years, he's learned a thing or two. With that, he's back with a brand new book, The Coaching Habit, that has some thoughts on how we can get the best out of ourselves (whether we're coaching someone, coaching ourselves or getting coached).

SPOS #508 - Leading Innovation With Christopher S. Penn
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 #506 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #506 - Host: Mitch Joel.

SPOS #505 - Under New Management With David Burkus
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.
