1. Wow, loved this Podcast. Mitch, thanks for bringing on another GREAT guest! Some of my takeaways. Good internet marketing is not an “echo chamber of self love”. The internet makes smart people smarter and dumb people dumber. [Reminds me that people who run terrible Websites and create awful content are likely to suck a social media]. The internet amplifies both the good and the bad. Some huge implications to consider in these statements.

2. Enjoyed the interview with Ben Casnocha. I found it interesting when Ben talked about the idea that every day we go to work, we are renewing what’s essentially a one-day (ongoing) contract with the company. Ben’s outlook was that this change is a good one, and for some workers, it certainly is.
   However, this “day-to-day” renegotiation is also to the benefit of companies. My sense is that the main impetus for each person being their own “start-up” is due to the fear that they could be let go from their job at any time. Having a well-established personal brand, network of connections, and current skills will hedge against the possibility of being unemployed for a long stretch.
   What I have taken away from “The Start-Up of You” and similar writings is that the question each person needs to ask themselves is, how am I continually improving myself to add more value to my work and thus to my employer/company/clients?
