Episode description

When building a community, there's one principle that lays the foundation for every community and culture around the world: People Like Us Do Things Like This. It's a sense of tribalism and a concept that Seth Godin (a global thought leader, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and speaker) brought to the world more than 10 years ago. Here, Seth Godin and Ben Grynol talk about marketing, community, and what it was like to grow up in Buffalo, NY.
