This podcast features an interview with Seth Godin, where he discusses his new book, "This is Strategy," and the core concepts within it. The conversation explores the differences between marketing and strategy (strategy as a philosophy, not a plan), the importance of long-term thinking versus short-term gains ("finite" vs. "infinite" games), and the role of empathy and systems in effective strategy. Godin emphasizes the need for consistent, remarkable work focused on a specific audience, rather than chasing fleeting trends. A key takeaway is his assertion that strategy is about making assertions about the future and building resilience around those assertions, exemplified by his own long-term commitment to blogging.
