This week on the Marketing Revolution Podcast I talk to Derek Wu. I’ve had the pleasure of being friends with Derek for a while now and have worked with him several times. Of everyone I know, no one knows more people than Derek Wu. And not in a sleazy used car salesmen type way. Derek sincerely takes the time to get to know people every day.
Most quotes are pretty cliche. But quotes that are provocative or wrong or provocatively-wrong I find incredibly fascinating. Maybe because the author went out on a limb and failed. Maybe because it’s a reflection of the imposed limits we as a society seemingly always put your ourselves. Or maybe because it’s proof that someone didn’t listen to advice, that they never gave in when everyone told them they were wrong. It’s those people who change our world. I think these quotes are an inspiration because it’s proof that no matter how crazy people say your idea is, you can make it happen.
It’s all a rat race.

I was listening to a Freakinomics podcast the other day and they were talking about “booing”. You know, ref makes a bad call and you boo? Ok that’s not the point.
It was a story about booing that got me.
Johnnie LeMaster played 12 seasons in the majors, mostly with the San Francisco Giants. He was a shortstop with a career average of around 220. Nothing special but an all around good player to have on your team.
This past month I gave two friends unsolicited marketing advice and I ended up being completely wrong. I didn’t know their entire situation, I didn’t know what they were actually thinking, I gave advice I shouldn’t have.
