Linchpin meetup at Gangplank

I’m a Seth Godin fanboy, but for good reason: his books are great. His latest, Linchpin, is about making yourself so good at what you do that you are indispensable, and that causing disruption by rapidly eschewing traditional models for new ones is a worthy endeavor.

Last night at Gangplank, about 40 other people thought the same way I did. From the owners of a tequila company to traveling marketers, the room was filled with people who wanted to be and do better.

And we did. Linchpin was dissected, groups were formed and conversations were had. Attendees took what they learned from the book, presented it to the group, answered questions and hopefully learned a little bit more about themselves in the process. Whether or not they believe it, we’re all geniuses, if only for five minutes. The key is to make those five minutes count.

Thanks to all attendees, and a huge thanks to Francine Hardaway and Stealthmode Partners for the food.

ABC15 actually came down to interview Katie Charland (the second local station to do so) about getting hired at Gangplank, but they were nice enough to stick around and talk to the rest of us.
