Mitch Joel hesitates to take the title of Linchpin but I don’t care…he is one.  He’s a phenomenal writer and heads a great company called Twist Image in Montreal, Canada.  He and I spoke about his connections with Seth Godin (they do have a LOT in common) as well as what it’s like to try to hire Linchpins

Jonathan Frazier and Zach Prichard are normal guys who decided to be Linchpins and save a movie.  Hear how they raised $125,000 in 10 days (and more is still coming in).  They told the lizard brain to shut up and they shipped, big time.

Jon Dale spent six months with Seth Godin for an alternative MBA program. He shares why he applied, how he was selected, what he learned while he was there and why he think Seth Godin is such a unique person. Jon is a good friend of mine and he’s a Linchpin himself.

Welcome to the unofficial Linchpin Podcast where we discuss how to become a linchpin, talk to people who are already linchpins so we can ship and change the world. All fans of Seth Godin are welcome here. Critics too actually.
