Mitch Joel on the Timing of Online Opportunity

Mitch Joel is one of the leading voices in digital media. He is the
host of the Six Pixels of Separation podcast, author of 2
bestselling books and co-founder of Twist Image, the leading
Canadian marketing agency that was acquired last year by the
largest agency conglomerate in the world to form a global agency
called Mirum, where Mitch serves as president. On today's show,
Mitch and Danny explore some of the most important existential
questions that modern, online entrepreneurs have to struggle with
and come to some inspiring and insightful conclusions. Key Points
At 2:44 - Mitch talks through the life cycle of the market
online, starting with the iconic 'publishing button,' and how it's
become something very different these days. At 5:47 - While
everyone agrees that the cream rises to the top, Mitch goes into
why he thinks that now is still a fantastic time for indie
publishers to make their mark. At 12:46 - Mitch talks about
what he thinks would happen if he were to have just now started his
blog, and contrasts that with the wild success of others who are
newer to the online realm. At 18:46 - Danny and Mitch discuss
Seth Godin's book, 'The Dip,' and talk about how to know the
difference between a dip, and a dead end. At 25:18 - Seth
Godin's book, 'The Dip,' and what Billy Idol and Mitch Joel have in
common, and how lunacy could easily factor in. Enjoying the
