The message: go inside, get real, bring authentic quality to others as a service, don’t grasp. It’s not about Getting. Have faith. If it’s real then people will notice (sadly) because these qualities are so rare. Beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks, now I don’t have to listen to this long winded episode and I can spend my time on more important stuff like Putin invading Ukraine and committing genocide
My first podcast of yours. What a gracious host. You were humble and had clearly researched what the interviewee cared about. Not a accident he said yes.
Great interview, Stephen, Seth is a soft spoken genius who has bolstered many elements of my business over the years. Seth mentioned the great Irish storyteller, Bernadette Jiwa. I popped over to Amazon and sure enough, she had 6 books on storytelling, and she was giving away 4 of those books for free in the Audible version, so I got 4 of her books with her lovely voice offering great advice with well crafted storytelling. This was 3/6/24. I find there are many biz friendly authors on Amazon that are "gifting" their audible version with the hope that the audible crowd will help with a good review. Good health, Stephen, and a bountiful '24.

In my opinion, AI integration with branding and marketing is crucial for staying relevant. Reputation House understands this shift and ensures clients stay ahead by leveraging AI for reputation management strategies.
Seth Godin always brings valuable insights to the table. For entrepreneurs looking to leverage AI in branding, consider using AI-driven analytics to uncover deep insights into customer behavior that can shape more personalized brand strategies. Remember, it's not just about data, but how you interpret it to create a connection with your audience.
AI is not able to deliver human depth of insight. AI is a pure sociopath, pretender, mirror, and is as "intelligent" as its mentally focused designer. people have lost their humanity already and do not even see the danger of AI.
Love this Stephen! Fun to see a fellow Seth Godin fanboy get to talk with him. I loved the following: 9:40 Positioning is a generous act. It's offering people who are busy a clear map of who you are and who you're not. If you're not eagerly sending potential business to you're "competitors" then you don't have a position. 33:52 I think AI is the biggest invention since electricity, bigger than the internet and if you're not using for a 1/2 hr each day, you don't understand. Liked the simple things he'd do as a start-up brand builder: 1. Make something that customers want to buy, do so by creating tension - my life will be better if I listen to this and if I don't, I'll be left behind. 2. Network Effect: Create something that works better when you tell others. Fax Machine, Hotmail, etc.
I’m constantly impressed at the lengths people will go to in order to find new ways to articulate the various aspects of marketing, where there are perfectly comprehensive terms and definitions that have existed for decades.
Marketing has evolved dramatically in the past few decades. Any objective marketer will agree. It’s quite normal that words that have been used for decades will change with evolution.
Congratulations. On having the consistent cred to pull this interview. Ihave learnt much from your podcasts, but boy this one has really givem me the tension to build my brand. We have been working in but not on our brand for30 years. As a 55 year old business man I feel more driven and invigorated than ever. The AI component is the missing chain link for my food product btand. I already have a great product, have a great brand, I have not told it yet. So much to do but now have the tools at my disposal for very little cost. Great conversation and love your work. Thankyou Tony Nolan Kangaroo Island South Oz.
Hey Tony, Thanks a mil for your message. Beautiful part of the world (I lived in Oz for 20 years) Delighted to hear your drive. Looking forward to see what you do with your brand. 👍
I now see brand strategy as a goal of a subsection within a world model framework for communicating to llm models more complex goals and tasks. And that reality is absolutely insane at moments.
Great reminders. You have to put yourself on the hook and keep picking an MVP. Commit and go an inch wide and a mile deep! I'm on a journey as a Brand Strategist for Tribe Builders in the sustainability and resilience sectors.
As someone who has recently become very interested in social media marketing, I like how this video makes down the essentials! It's really true that consistency and value are essential. I've been experimenting with several AI tools to help me expedite the content development process.
Captivating conversation. Thank you! Respectful and skilled interviewer who consistently asked excellent questions followed by reflective observations to maintain a magical flow. Well done. Seth is a calming voice of reason in a chaotic time of massive change. My takeaways: focus, learn and enjoy the ride!
This is absolutely amazing Stephen! Simplicity is the hardest to achieve and only wise man, like Mr.Seth and you as the podcast host can make it so interesting and useful! Cheers
As usual Stephen...i am always being happy after watching your podcast, and this one is a piece of gold...I wish you could do another episode with him and ask him more questions about branding (deep and more focused ones)
Brilliant interview. Seth is a genius on marketing and branding philosophies! I really enjoyed it and always learn new thinking perspectives from Seth. A big thank you to Stephen Houraghan for this informative podcast!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the algorithm for putting this in front of my face this morning -great interview, great topic discussion. You both have found a new reader. Bravvo!
All brands go through steps: 1) when the brand is new, no one recognizes the logo/brand/reputation 2) soon enough, if the business sustains, the logo/brand/reputation become familiar Humans are wired to fairly quickly demote 'novelty' things to 'recognized' So unless a very objectionable symbol/message is being used by a new brand, most humans go through the 'novelty' phase then don't give the logo/brand much thought. I think anything (other that the purposely-objectionable) - any logo/brand message can and will become accepted. "That's just the logo that company wanted." Imagine seeing images of a white-with-large-black-spots Guernsey cow on a product's box. What's inside? Cattle food? Probably. Nope, that was the Gateway Computer branding. Cow image boxes. Pretty wild.
Inspiring and motivating deep thinking and re-evaluating positions, especially after sinking in daily/monthly activities rather than global business strategy. Thank you
Sadly many people bereft of ideas turn to AI and LLM as "the" cure to their problems and for (so called) creative content, using what is churned out as is including both text and images, so often thumbnails for YT videos et al. In such a short space of time people have bored of this recycled spam, if you take time to read the comments sections of popular channels that use such images often stuffed into videos to pad them out (thus gaining longer view-time and ad-payments) by video-editors that has ZERO interest in the channel's content as they will be using the same AI crap in edited videos for food-bloggers, car-repairs and funny cat compilations, not to mention the INSANE sound effects promoting Click, Like & Subscribe. Don't forget few actually comment when they bore totally of this robot production line crap and just Unsub. AI might be a tool to co-lab with but it is not content that people "like". Thanks for keeping it real Stephen. 👍
And they Say AI can do editing too.... like my Goodness, ai needs baby-seating, Telling one story in a creative way requires the uniqueness of the story teller his/herself, we can't solely depend on ai for this... this is failure already
Great Episode! I love that you didn't think he'd do your podcast, but you asked anyway. It's a great reminder to us all to go for it... you just never know!
This is such a great insightful content! I am professional freelance virtual assistant. Right now, I am started my personal project which is to build my personal branding following your Branding 101: How To Build A Strategic Brand in 2024 because I felt so unorganized and everywhere. I think build a concrete brand can help you get organized and consistent when it comes to your content and promotions. I hope I am in the right direction and can push through!

What's the AI tool that Seth referred to for analysing business strategy? I thought I heard Quad AI. Is this correct? If yes, where can I access this tool?
Consider starting with a few test videos on topics you’re passionate about. This can help you find your style and comfort level before committing to a schedule.
Interesting podcast interview. It's been a while since I listened to Seth. I ordered a couple of books from Bernadette Jiwa as I'm keen to understand more about storytelling. Lots of people tell me I'm a natural storyteller which is great but means I don't understand the construct or how/why what I'm doing is good. I was surprised about the section on the person behind the brand and not telling their story. But maybe that's larger brands I encourage my clients (and especially those who are customer facing to present on social media) and to talk about their journey not all of it in one go but little snippets that add credibility to the business, values, offering, skills and services they bring to the current business. Maybe you meant more of an autobiographical style is not required? Which I would agree with. Hmm... as you can tell I'm musing over what this means and what to take from it. If you have any blogs or resources that would aid my understanding / thinking on this aspect I would be most grateful. It's my first time coming across this podcast and I've subscribed to listen to more - thank you.
Your interest in storytelling is great. Bernadette Jiwa’s books are an excellent choice to understand the structure and impact of storytelling. There is 100% a place for the “Founder Story” where is aligns with the audience and the journey they’re on. That said, often this is the default way to tell stories, even when the journey of the founder doesn’t really align with the audience. The beauty of strategic storytelling is that it’s strategic and there are different solutions for different situations.

I was hoping to hear more of his thoughts on AI. It’s hard to ignore that some of these AI systems were built by ripping off creatives who may now be replaced by AI. Seems to me that more than ditch diggers are in danger of being replaced…I just read his book The Dip. And I think with speed AI is moving, it’s hard to know if there’s “light at the end of the tunnel.” Harder to predict if my career, tactic, etc. is a dead end. Harder to know if “quitting” or sticking is the best long-term strategy. Sometimes adapting at the rate and performing at the level we need to succeed feels impossible and exhausting.
I appreciate your perspective on AI and its impact. Adapting to the pace of change can indeed feel daunting. Seth's book, The Dip, offers a useful framework for deciding when to persevere or pivot. Embracing AI as a tool rather than a threat might open up new avenues for your career.
To me, authenticity means something completely different than he says. It means that many content creators use cheap phrases and selling techniques everyone sees through and it's annoying. Exactly this trying too hard to be your best version is not authentic and I personally prefer people and creator who are honest and upfront about themselves and their products. Thats why people prefer generally content creators against classic marketing, but unfortunately is less and less who are like that. That has nothing to do with bad personality traits.
The bald head, the poise soft spoken delivery of statement, the assertive delivery of information, and the stance of the humble teachee. Yes! They definitely look alike 😅
Since electricity? 👀 I don't know, seth... The telegraph and the combustion engine were hella game changers!!! And to go from absolutely NO internet to internet 😬, to me is a bigger jump than from Internet to ai. 🤷♂️ What do you think?
Of course, without the internet, there is no AI, so it’s a big one… But I see his point. It’s taken us 30 years to get from internet to here… The trajectory has been altered significantly. AI will change our lives more dramatically in the coming 30 years, than internet has in the past 30.
The message: go inside, get real, bring authentic quality to others as a service, don’t grasp. It’s not about Getting. Have faith. If it’s real then people will notice (sadly) because these qualities are so rare. Beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you!! It's the self-reflection aspect that AI will never be able to do! No self-reflection = no authenticity.
Haha can’t help to slag you (with love) about your use of “authenticity”

No doubt!
Interesting how Seth doesn’t go ummm and ahhh and you know. Just pauses, uses words, finishes.
This is learned and practiced.
He absolutely did.
Engaging
Just started the video already seen One umm at 0.11😂😂
The host took them all💀
I’m constantly impressed at the lengths people will go to in order to find new ways to articulate the various aspects of marketing, where there are perfectly comprehensive terms and definitions that have existed for decades.
Example?
Marketing has evolved dramatically in the past few decades. Any objective marketer will agree. It’s quite normal that words that have been used for decades will change with evolution.

Great interview. Seth is a heartwarming genius! Totally shifted my thinking on branding😊
I now see brand strategy as a goal of a subsection within a world model framework for communicating to llm models more complex goals and tasks.

All brands go through steps:
1) when the brand is new, no one recognizes the logo/brand/reputation
2) soon enough, if the business sustains, the logo/brand/reputation become familiar
Humans are wired to fairly quickly demote 'novelty' things to 'recognized'
So unless a very objectionable symbol/message is being used by a new brand, most humans go through the 'novelty' phase then don't give the logo/brand much thought.
I think anything (other that the purposely-objectionable) - any logo/brand message can and will become accepted.
"That's just the logo that company wanted."
Imagine seeing images of a white-with-large-black-spots Guernsey cow on a product's box. What's inside?
Cattle food? Probably.
Nope, that was the Gateway Computer branding. Cow image boxes. Pretty wild.
This was good. Thank you for sharing this powerful and insightful podcast. Makes me think of the saying, when I give you lemons, make ... that is AI.
Thanks for sharing!!
Seth's right, if you're not tapping into AI for at least half an hour a day, you're missing out on the next big wave
Spot on 👍
Inspiring and motivating deep thinking and re-evaluating positions, especially after sinking in daily/monthly activities rather than global business strategy. Thank you

AI is a tool, not a replacement for creativity and should be guided by human insight for the best results.
@@BrandMasterAcademy Exactly, but I see so many examples of AI implemented as is.

Great interview and I actually picked starbucks as my logo in the beginning😂
Glad you shared 👍
Loved this interview
Interesting podcast interview. It's been a while since I listened to Seth. I ordered a couple of books from Bernadette Jiwa as I'm keen to understand more about storytelling. Lots of people tell me I'm a natural storyteller which is great but means I don't understand the construct or how/why what I'm doing is good.
I was surprised about the section on the person behind the brand and not telling their story. But maybe that's larger brands I encourage my clients (and especially those who are customer facing to present on social media) and to talk about their journey not all of it in one go but little snippets that add credibility to the business, values, offering, skills and services they bring to the current business. Maybe you meant more of an autobiographical style is not required? Which I would agree with. Hmm... as you can tell I'm musing over what this means and what to take from it. If you have any blogs or resources that would aid my understanding / thinking on this aspect I would be most grateful.
It's my first time coming across this podcast and I've subscribed to listen to more - thank you.
Your interest in storytelling is great. Bernadette Jiwa’s books are an excellent choice to understand the structure and impact of storytelling.
There is 100% a place for the “Founder Story” where is aligns with the audience and the journey they’re on.
That said, often this is the default way to tell stories, even when the journey of the founder doesn’t really align with the audience.
The beauty of strategic storytelling is that it’s strategic and there are different solutions for different situations.

Amazing content ❤ nice discovering your content Steven
Much appreciated 🙏
I was hoping to hear more of his thoughts on AI. It’s hard to ignore that some of these AI systems were built by ripping off creatives who may now be replaced by AI. Seems to me that more than ditch diggers are in danger of being replaced…I just read his book The Dip. And I think with speed AI is moving, it’s hard to know if there’s “light at the end of the tunnel.” Harder to predict if my career, tactic, etc. is a dead end. Harder to know if “quitting” or sticking is the best long-term strategy. Sometimes adapting at the rate and performing at the level we need to succeed feels impossible and exhausting.
I appreciate your perspective on AI and its impact. Adapting to the pace of change can indeed feel daunting. Seth's book, The Dip, offers a useful framework for deciding when to persevere or pivot. Embracing AI as a tool rather than a threat might open up new avenues for your career.
Very informative
Glad you think so!
Superb work dear
Thank you so much 😊
To me, authenticity means something completely different than he says. It means that many content creators use cheap phrases and selling techniques everyone sees through and it's annoying. Exactly this trying too hard to be your best version is not authentic and I personally prefer people and creator who are honest and upfront about themselves and their products. Thats why people prefer generally content creators against classic marketing, but unfortunately is less and less who are like that. That has nothing to do with bad personality traits.
32:52 - note to self
Seth Godin = great
This other guy.......
Awesome
Why do I see a resemblance between Chris Do and Seth Godin?
The bald head, the poise soft spoken delivery of statement, the assertive delivery of information, and the stance of the humble teachee. Yes! They definitely look alike 😅
😂 your profile pic pose and your comment made me smile. I saw the resemblance after you said it, i think its the bold head and maybe the lips😊
Value 🔥💎❤
Ew…
There are actually statistical ways to identify positions beyond the 4 quadrant cliché.
Timestamp list?
Since electricity? 👀 I don't know, seth... The telegraph and the combustion engine were hella game changers!!!
And to go from absolutely NO internet to internet 😬, to me is a bigger jump than from Internet to ai. 🤷♂️
What do you think?
Of course, without the internet, there is no AI, so it’s a big one…
But I see his point.
It’s taken us 30 years to get from internet to here…
The trajectory has been altered significantly.
AI will change our lives more dramatically in the coming 30 years, than internet has in the past 30.
Internet on Day 1? No very useful. AI on Day 1?
❤️❤️
34:00 so AI will make your work like more difficult, not easier
